Unfortunately some on here aren’t. I’m 76 years old and I have ALWAYS been a Gator fan.
Sure. Nalt is a Bammer, DaytonaCane is a Cane, there might be one or two others. I suspect at least one of us is a closet Nole pretending to be a Gator.
That's about it though.
Everybody else around here is a true-blue Gator.
You're making a huge mistake if you confuse criticism of players, coaches, or the administration with not loving the Gators.
Nobody b!tches about Mullen more than Swonk. He loves the Gators. Nobody hates Jeremy Foley more than FireFoley. He loves the Gators too. You think you love the Gators more than Ox? He owns a Gator message board.
Being satisfied with the mediocrity of Zook or Champ or Butters, or the awful play of Treon Harris, or Foley's disgraceful facilities doesn't make you a real Gator or a better Gator than the ones who aren't satisfied and openly criticize that.
I don't care how old you are. You don't love the Gators one iota more than me.
If you want to criticize the criticizers, go ahead. Tell them they're unreasonable. Tell them the coaches need more time and the players need more experience. Those are all perfectly valid arguments.
But don't tell them they aren't real Gators.
Alex.
