Don't get me started. I have a couple of reasons.
I was homeless in Ft Liquordale and Hollywood Beach back in the 50s, before being homeless was so popular.
Being from East Tennessee, scenery is mountains, not a straight line (the view from a beach). The highest elevation is 640 feet - and that's just a big sand dune.
I hate sand, especially trying to sleep on it.
Florida is a sandbar with a swamp in the middle.
A former player at UT, Ray Graves, when coaching at Florida asked some researchers at UT for help with players getting dehydrated. They created the formula that became Gatorade and they took all the credit - and the revenue.
