Read if you are a true Gator fan.


           I love this team just as much as any of you and absolutely hate it when ppl come in and try to bash them calling them thugs and all of that, and the same is true of us doing the same to other teams with their fans. This whole Brandon Spikes scandel has put a blemish on the name of Florida Football and it will most likely always be remembered by us Florida fans and those Georgia fans and fans all over the SEC and perhaps more, but some of the things i have seen being said by us Florida fans and the fans of other teams are irrational, biased, unknowledgable of the real situation, and down right petty. We are bitching at eachother over something that we as fans will almost surely never get the full story of, unless someone comes out and gives the story from both points of view, and even then those points of view will be shadowed by doubt as well.

            So in reality, we can all literally argue about this forever, but the real fact of the matter is none of us know what went on, until one of the players comes out and explains what did happen were never going to know, all that us meesly fans have is a blurry youtube video showing a hand in the face and that hand moving around inside of it. All we can possbly know of what happened is what we are shown on the video, and therefore all comments made by us are only specualtions, biased opinions, and petty arguments based on the liking or disliking of the players and teams involved. Is that really worth fighting for hours over? None of us are ever going to change what we think of it so what is the point in arguing it? Its a stallmate that wont ever be loosened.

 Hence, we're left to childish insults at eachothers teams and programs that most likely none of us are even a part of and have no idea whats going on in each and everyday or ever will. So really is all of this bitching at eachother worth it? i've been a member of this site for 2 days and kinda regret posting everything i have cause after the fact it all seem childish, useless, petty, and somewhat unintelligent. And im going to admit some of the things i have said to other fans have been embarrassing after re reading them hours later. So for any blogger out there who i have bashed for their favorite team and conference or opinion on what happened in those fateful 7 seconds, i apologize.

            One of my biggest pet peeves is petty argument and bickering; and after reading countless, repetitive, mundane, hackneyed comments about the same topic, i've realized i was doing the same thing i hate so much, and it really made all of this look really stupid. Im all for defending the team you love from ppl tryin to smeer their name, but arguing about this 7 second ordeal has just gotta stop. Call me a bitch or anything you want for saying so, but i feel that im doing the Better thing for the team i have loved since i was 6 years old by posting this post than i did in all of the argumentitive comments i left on other posts that have blended into 1 with all of the other posts that say the exact same thing over and over by other users.

So, if you are a true Gator, you will take what ive said into consideration before you call a fan from another team a pussy or bitch or idiot ect., and remember that as Gator fans we need to be the Classy when our players are not, and need to be resilient when the times are tough and stand tall for our beloved team. I for one, am done being petty and will stop making a bad name for Gator fans, Gator players, and the Tradition of the U of F, which i have practically worshipped for so long and apologize for doing so in the first place, it certainly was not my intention.

Please be kind and use good grammar.

Dont get me wrong.

Im still gonna talk some shit on here, thats all im about here. I love talking shit, but this fanposts is about this Brandon Spikes story and how i think its gotten out of hand. Arguing about this story and talkin shit about others teams are two totally different things as one is unacceptable and the other is acceptable although mostly uncivil at the same time haha.

I think spikes had a good reason to do that

I mean that Georgia defender just hammers the greatest football player of all time Tebow long after the ball was thrown and wasn’t called so Spikes probably wanted payback
