The last sentence is correct, but I'm not so sure about its predecessor. They have put together some talent down there. It takes a special talent like Fulmer to lose with that much ability around.Enjoy your success my florida friends. Last year was a down year for the SEC. Many teams like Ole Miss, Bama, Vandy, Kentucky and Florida appeared to be a little better than they were. This year these teams will not have it so easy. Next year florida will be lucky to have 9 wins. What goes up will come down.
The perception of UF from Bama, Auburn, USCe, Ole Miss fans etc has largely to do with the Gators recent success. Everybody hates a winner, everybody is sick of Florida and Tim Tebow. Look at how people came to hate Notre Dame so much.
While the national media definitely shows the Gators plenty of love, the SEC fans show very begrudging respect, if any.
Hell, even the UF fans I've known for 10 years have lost their sense of humor about football ever since the Meyer/Tebow nexus. You used to be able to stand around the grill and the beer keg talking trash with them, but the only thing they can talk about is how awesome they are -- nowadays they're always deadly serious about how awesome they are. It's no fun to talk football with them anymore.
This is the exact point Vercingetorix is making. Comparing your national perception to the Notre Dame football program and legacy is completely ridiculous.
Fortunately the UF crowd has proven to be astoundingly insensitive. We have guys on here warning us that drunken frat boys might do something stupid and reminding us that we don't pay proper homage to the whiny one and circumcisor.See- it's all about perception and yours is jacked up with envy.
I was comparing the hatred toward the Gators to the hatred that is directed toward Notre Dame. I said absolutely nothing about comparing the legacy nor was I implying that Florida is comparable to Notre Dame in terms of what ND has accomplished. You people are so astoundingly hypersensitive.
I can vouch for this from my own personal experience. I've worked with a fairly grounded UF fan for about 10 years and he has gotten less humorous about UF football since Urbie took over. I can't talk football without hearing about how awesome UF is and how CUM and Tebow are the second coming.

If Tennessee was gunning for it's third BCS title in 4 years- wouldn't you be talking about how awesome the Vols were? What do you expect?
We are not selling T-shirts and expressing concerns over rowdy fans because of a silly comments at a boosters meeting.
Oh. Our coach brought out the inner redneck? Sweet.
Now who were you calling hypersensitive? I'm trying to recall...
does that change anything wrt to your sensitivity comment? or the fact that it's sad that you're on this board reminding us of your recent past?Gator fans didnt corner the market on Kiffin criticism:

You can't blame someone for trying to turn a profit because some coach said something stupid. You guys were already lamenting over being bombed with urine and skinned alive in past trips to the Swamp. Why should this trip to Titletown be any different?
