Ok, you must of missed all the "Gator" references. So one more time, Gators should care about anything Gator.

I see. So if a Gator fan doesn't really care how the gymnastics team does, then he isn't a Gator? I just want to formally establish the fan snobbery guidelines.

It's important to me to round up any non-Gators from this board and send them into exile. NV already signed his own death warrant and he's a goner.

I’ve always followed anything Gator and so could hold a conversation about whatever team was the subject, but in just the past few years I’ve expanded my attendance to include softball and volleyball and I highly recommend it. The teams are of course super talented and they have so much fun on the field/court. It’s a good time.

Speaking of gymnastics, I laughed my arse off when Gatorcountry did a preview of the team a couple of weeks back and posted a picture of Rhonda Faehn. Now I could see Ox maybe not noticing the mistake but a website that makes its living off of Gator sports? Pretty inexcusable.

Snobbery to expect a Gator fan to care about whether Gator gymnastics does well? Then I proudly accept the label of Gator Snob of the 1st Order because I want the Gators to crush our rivals no matter the sport. Go Gators!

The song actually got a lot of airtime here in Atlanta well before being featured in Dumb & Dumber. So many people were requesting stations play it and they obliged.

Heard it all the time in Orlando and Tally

You can roll your eyes all you want, but in my experience the people who are just fans but didn’t attend, to them it’s the same as being a fan of an NFL team & an NBA team if they also follow basketball, and it ends there. But my friends who are alumni, will bring up other teams like volleyball, soccer, and even gymnastics, and actually care. Of course football is still king, but other sports are also on the radar.

This rings true for me also.

This rings true for me also.

Of course it does, it’s common sense, but some people seem to take it as an insult for some strange reason.

 

[AugustaGator]

That wasn't my irony you were palpating.

 

[AugustaGator]

In my 25 years on message boards, I have never rolled my eyes harder at a post. Well done.

Not true. I do not have the time nor the mental capacity to remember every coach's name.

Neither do I. My comments was about Ox' comment about caring about volleyball.

I love everything Gator! A win is a win. I dont care what sport the Gators are grinding at. Its about heart, pride and lots of sweat! The thrill of victory! I happen to believe that every opponent that has Florida on the schedule, has that match circled because they know what a victory means coming to gainesville. Beating florida is a big deal! Beating the big red machine tonight would be huge for Mary and a gutty bunch of stud women atheletes. We'll see if they can pull it off!

People take it as an insult because it was meant to be an unsult.

If you don’t send the groundskeeper a Christmas card, then you aren’t a real Gator.

 

[gatormandan]

If you cant afford to donate to the university and you have no "inside source" your not really a gator fan.

 

[Captain Sasquatch]

If you don’t send the groundskeeper a Christmas card, then you aren’t a real Gator.

If you had, you could have sent Tom Petty a Christmas card.

I see what you guys are doing there, but fact of the matter is I never said the those who didn’t attend UF aren’t real Gator fans or good Gator fans. I don’t believe that for a second. I simply said that alumni are more likely to pay attention to smaller sports than fans who didn’t attend.

I think most of the alumni from the last ten years could not possibly care less about a single sport and wouldn't have been caught dead attending any of them. Of course, most of them are from Asian countries.

I covered Gator swimming for the Sun back in the dark ages. We were dominant, a perennial top three program and the pride resonated, although the feel I got was from within. I was never sure how much it meant to people on the outside. I got into it, met a lot of future Olympians and I actually learned to get along with Randy Reese, who could be a load.

I barely watch the football team now let alone the peripherals. I want to know we're good, but you probably won't hear me bringing up volleyball at a cocktail party.
