Around SBN: NFL Players Ready To Welcome Gay Teammate

As a Floridian I really want this game.

 

I was born in Alabama, but at the age of 5 my parents forced me to move to Florida where I received most of my education (college at UCF) before eventually moving to GA at age 22. Thus I am a Floridian of sorts, and Saturday’s game means a lot to me personally. I’d like to share why I want to beat Florida soooo bad.

1. The Florida Fans: Right up there with UT and AU fans as far as being obnoxious. However, the Gator fans can actually be mean. In the 2008 SECCG a Gator fan sitting directly behind me used their scoring a TD as an opportunity to poor his beer all over me. As we left that game I was pelted with packets of sugar. This is just typical of the Gators I grew up with in Florida. The video circulating this week highlighting Prothro’s injury is another example of a classless fan base. And, if you go to a game at Florida, watch out, they will urinate on you. I am not kidding.

2. The Florida Thugs (Players): These guys are first and foremost just a bunch of thugs. Since Myer’s arrival around 30 players have been arrested and that doesn’t count the ones who got off without arrest. From Spikes trying to poke out a UGA players eye to the cheap shot on one of our lineman at the end of the 2008 game these guys are just dirty. By the way the great Tebow never spoke out against their dirty play when asked about his buddy Spikes..

3. Urban Myer: Now (with the departure of Kiffin) my least favorite SEC coach. I think he is fake. I think he teaches dirty play. I think he is totally in love with Urban. And, I think he loves to run up the score at every chance. You need to look no further than Burton scoring 6 TD’s last week in a blow out. That is running it up.

I don’t believe a thing this guy says...ever.

4. Orange: I hate this color. Always have, always will.

5. Gainesville: In college I dated a girl at UF. I hated going there to take her out. Their stadium is named "The Swamp" for good reason. That is what this town is, a swamp. I broke it off with this girl because I just couldn’t stand to be around Gainesville anymore.

6. The Legend of Tebow: Well he is gone but his legend lives on. I can promise you Danielson will say Tim Tebow at least 20 times Sat. And the truth is Tebow is not the greatest college football player ever, he is not even the greatest player to play at UF. I’d take Smith or Wuerffel over Tebow any day. But UF has almost deified the great Timmy Tebow, who actually won ONE NC.

So these are just some of the reasons I want to win this game Sat. Anyone care to tell why you want to win this game?

just because man

i hate losing in general. but, maybe the 94 SECCG. thats a good reason to win. and the d-bag who took prothor’s legs out while he was in the air, and the punk @ss who’s sending that out on youtube. meyer is an asshole. they are thugs, totally picked up the slack for miami. their fans are ineed arrogant clueless jackasses from my personal experience. they’re also typically front runners who happen to like Boston in baseball and the Lakers in basketball, go figure. lets see, other reasons…. i’ve got to go to work, but the reasons to hate florida, i mean “why i want us to win” are starting to flow like water. so i’m sure i’ll have more later.

I also grew up in florida,

panama city actually, and while tge FSU fans were the kings of douche as far as a fan base goes UF wasnt far behind. I was lucky enough to escape the panhandle and head to tuscaloosa for college, but i have enough jackoff gator fan memories seared into my brain to never forget to hate them.

Urbs is a wanker who im positive has touched swords with tebow. That relationship was effing odd man. From the facemask nuzzle to him crying at the thought of timmy leaving town after graduating…….wierd.

and need this win terribly..My boss is a UF fan and so is my best friend. Ill never hear the end of it if we lose. That is until we wax their ass in the SECCG.

UF fans are

really really hard to live with when they win.

I’m sure people feel this way about some Bama fans, but hopefully, we have won long enough and have enough class to just be gracious in victory. I know Coach Bryant always was.

By the way…do not boo Urban or his boys Sat.

Arky booed Saban as he walked off at halftime. There was no need for that, Saban had done nothing to them. The only coach I have ever booed was Fulmer- for obvious reasons. I’m only going to boo college players if they are dirty. But, I’ll boo the refs all day long.

I'm actually getting a little scared/nervous about this game.

Florida is playing the underdog role perfectly and the media is shoving it down our throats. They ALL want the upset. Your #2 reason is probably my worst fear. I have this awful picture in my head of UF players doing what the Hogs did to Dareus, but even worse and to more of our guys. I’ma prolly lose sleep to this game tomorrow.
Oh, and don’t worry Todd…I was invited to go to Oktoberfest again on Saturday but politely declined. I just can’t risk it again. Beer and boobies be damned, WE GOTTA STOMP THEM DAMN GATORS.

I've only crossed paths with a couple FL fans...

…one got sorta mouthy at me at a fast-food place once, but my 8-yr.-old son was with me with his Bama shirt on, so maturity prevailed and it stayed contained.

I really want us to win because… it’s the next game. And Florida’s the biggest challenge yet this year. Trust in the Process!

Most obnoxious fans I ever faced in person were Miami’s, after the ‘89 Sugar Bowl, but I’ve never been to a game in Knoxville or Gainesville yet.

Miami fans were atrocious.. lobbing insults, picking fights. After the game, they were nowhere to be found. As classless as the football team.

My thoughts on UF…

1. Florida fans being obnoxious is beyond a true statement and yes they are violent. I forget what year it was (pretty sure Shula was coaching) but I was at the swamp for the game (Things are a bit hazy because of the high amount of alcohol consumed then). I remember we came out and my car was keyed with FU from UF. You don’t F with another man’s car. Also in the obnoxious fans, you forgot LSU who is tied with UF for being A holes.
2. I respect NO team that plays dirty.
3. Urban Cryer is the only coach that will blame his team when they lose because he does nothing wrong. Also, the "heart attack" was a way to take the heat off of him because he lost to Alabama or maybe Tebow laid hands on Urban and he was healed.
4. Orange = I hate all teams with the color orange and my Judge is Carousel Red not orange, dammit.
5. The only Major school with any class in Florida is FSU and that was only thanks to Bobby Bowden.
6. How dare you question the magnificence of St. Tebow, Blasphemer! (I might not be his biggest fan but he did show class unlike his teammates.

I hear a lot of the stories of beer spilling and rival fan aggressiveness, and it makes me wonder why some of you guys don’t stand up for yourselves or take control of the situation.

I’ve only had one issue while at the Iron Bowl that yr where Brody got sacked 20 or 30 times and I quickly put the guy in his place.

unless, you were just clarifying by trying to use his real name, which it looks like he uses now, instead of the nom de plum… anyway. that upsets me. i havent checked it out yet.

Ehh, I’m easily pissed off if people say things about him (and I really want to hurt that youtube douchebag), but this one was just… eh. He already (properly) described it as nauseating, unlike some people who seem to take perverse pleasure in it.

And Spencer loves to revel in the Shadenfreude, but he’s pretty indiscriminate from a team perspective and always draws the line at injury.

I've lived here 12 years and have a lot of Gator friends.

I’ve never had a problem with Gators, and never had a problem the 2 times I’ve been to Gainesville to see Bama play (plus 2 other times I’ve gone for Bama b’ball games). IMO, Auburn, UT, and LSU fans are all much, much worse.

And sorry you had beer poured on you, but accidents happen. I can pretty much guarantee you the guy didn’t want to lose his beer, unless you’d already been arguing with him. This isn’t directed at you, but I think a lot of people think other teams’ fans are obnoxious primarily because they themselves don’t know how to turn the other cheek.
