Welcome back to our hatred of Florida State

In May, Gov. Charlie Crist vetoed $9.7 million in state funding for Shands Hospital. The funding was more than just $9.7 million, as the funding was necessary to receive another $12 million in grants for medical care for poor people. Since 1981, Shands had received the funding, until Crist spun bull and said he vetoed the funds because it, "didn't have the complete committee vetting opportunity." The funds were included in Crist's January 2010 proposed budget and all of his previous budget proposals.

Crist probably vetoed the funds because he was pissed at North Florida Republicans who threw him under the bus for Marco Rubio. But, in my warped mind, I see a FSU governor screwing Florida's elite teaching hospital. Look a little deeper and you realize that the Senate budget writer who wrote the Shands appropriation is Ben Hill Griffin's grandson. Plus, Rubio spent his undergrad years at Santa Fe and UF. The recent Legislative special session overrode Crist's veto (the only line-item veto that was addressed), led by a House Speaker who is a UF grad and Senate President who teaches at UF. Gameday_fashions2_medium

That I see things in shades of orange and blue is probably to be expected. To see government that way, is a little extreme. But such is the case for my love of Florida and my hatred of Florida State.

FSU fans like to claim that UF fans are being elitists or snobs. We're actually being protective of Florida. Two hours north and west of Gainesville is a school that doesn't just have a circus, but includes the circus in their physics curriculum. FSU fans would rather win a National Championship than to have their degrees be worth more than the paper they were printed on. When a cheating scandal flowed through their athletic department, they were more concerned about Bobby Bowden's precious wins, and not about the collateral damage to their elite track and baseball teams. Florida isn't clean either, but we want nothing to do with a school that endorses kids cheating on tests and a fanbase that is more worried about an old man's wins than National Championships in all sports. (For all the discipline problems UF has had, at least we don't tolerate cheating.)  

The worst fanbase I have encountered is the one from Tallahassee. LSU fans will curse at you and feed you. Tennessee fans will only stare at you from behind an Earnhardt mustache. Georgia fans will get on their high horse, then sit next to you at the Landings and talk football. FSU fans yell at girls

Even in a bad year, you see Florida gear in public. My father, who still has his 1000-yard stare from working in Manhattan, had people approach him the two times this year it was cold enough for his UF jacket. In the last five years, more people joined the UF bandwagon, but a surprising number have hung on. They got on because of our athletic success, but stayed on because of our cultural significance.

For a time, FSU was that school. With Deion Sanders and Charlie Ward, FSU entered the national conversation and, in Deion's case, gained fans thanks to their pro play. In Tampa, Derrick Brooks and Warrick Dunn made plenty of Bucs fans into FSU fans, for their class on and off the field. But those four players are gone and retired. In their wake is a football program that can't win their league (unless they get help this weekend) and a school struggling to survive in a bad economy. Contrast that to UF's recent on-field success, ability to adapt to changing economics (block tuition and healthcare for domestic partners) and desire to build bigger and better. The furor over the Shands veto was an example of UF's status statewide. Status is what FSU wants.

For Saturday's game, FSU looks to be a three-point favorite, which I think gives too much credit to the Gators. After all, if the team couldn't show up for a frenzied home crowd with the division on the line, they won't show up in Tally. FSU might win this year, especially considering UF's lack of momentum and the law of averages deciding UF cannot win seven consecutive games in the series. If that is the case, don't get too upset about it, especially in a rebuilding year. After all, we might lose a football game, but we win in life.

Fraudulently Scholastic University at it again...

Assuredly the only reason their cronies in the legislature are blocking funding for medical facilities where those dollars could actually do some good is because they want to funnel that over for their indoor practice facility they seem to think they need so bad…

Assuredly to get away with using state money to once again supplement their lack of ability to raise the money through their boosters, Florida’s Second-rate University will also house their newly formed School of Custodial Arts (coincidentally the only one of it’s kind in the state) and maybe a few administrative offices just for good form in the oversized gymnasium…

The only question right now is where are they going to place the statue of Jimbo and which direction will his stained glass window face…

Really?

You’re not tolerant of cheating, but your university is not only tolerant, but appears to welcome lengthy arrest records, and lets be real for a moment. Cam Newtons dismissal from the Gators had nothing to do with a stolen laptop, or him not wanting to sit behind tebow another year, or a cheating scandal. He was kicked off the team because the gators knew that Newton was being investigated for taking $ and they wanted to distance themselves from any allegations involving the very thing you rail against being a problem at F.S.U. in your blog. Smart on their part, but make no mistake were he not being investigated he’d still be on the team. Just a little perspective from someone wearing full length jeans. Oh and by the way Crist happened to have attended Wake Forest, not F.S.U. as you article implies.

This entire comment is a collection of lies.

Your comment about Newton:
“He was kicked off the team because the gators knew that Newton was being investigated for taking $”
The facts:

"Later in the interview, Rogers said he and Cecil Newton first talked after Cam Newton left the Florida Gators following the 2008 season. In the course of their conversations, he said Cecil Newton told him, “It’s not gonna be free this time.”"

Only someone with a tremendous lack of logic and reading comprehension would read that quote and article and believe it implies that UF paid for Newton.
Your comment about Crist: “Oh and by the way Crist happened to have attended Wake Forest, not F.S.U. as you article implies.”
The facts:
“As a public school student Governor Crist quickly learned the value of participation, leading him to serve as class president at St. Petersburg High School and, later, as student body vice president at Florida State University. In high school Governor Crist was the starting quarterback for his football team. He later played football at Wake Forest University before transferring and receiving his undergraduate degree from Florida State in 1978.”

Frankly, I should have expected such a blatant disregard for the truth, considering you root for FSU.

There are more mullet hairstyles within a 50 mile radius of Tallacrappy than there are mullet fish in the entire Gulf of Mexico.

While were talking about this, it has reminded me about something. Y’all need to pick things up football wise, because I’m tired of looking at Ron Zook Field and seeing empty seats. Guess the Gators have to come to town to show y’all how to fill up a stadium.

I turned over to the UF-SC game and saw more empty seats than I’ve ever seen at a FSU game. Of course it was the blue blow out and even the best fans would leave that.

Gator recruiting had one of the best classes EVER last year, and another great one for 2011. But it starts with the coaching and it rolls down hill. If Meyer can’t shake this addazio thing, then it might be tragic to the UF program as a whole. You can have the best players around (keep in mind, these are still kids) but if there is no guidance or drive/motivation to make these players perform, then things can take a turn for the worse very quickly.

Soak at Doak

Last time I went to UF-FSU in Tallanastee (2008), I was walking with a friend to a tailgate across campus. The terrible weather had most of the FSU fans subdued, but as we walked by one tent with 30 or so Criminoles huddled below it, I was shocked as a half-peeled potato came flying at me and hit me in the leg. I didn’t know whether I should laugh because it was so pathetic, or get pissed because they were throwing stuff at me. I opted to laugh. Needless to say, Timmy took care of them for me.

Winning at life...

Thank Jeremy Fowler from the Orlando Sentinel for compiling these. Here are just a few examples of the “Top 1% of the Top 1%” constituting a whole lot more than the top 1% of the Gainesville police blotter. You guys should really enjoy these “Facts”.

CHRIS RAINEY
Charge: Rainey was arrested on a charge of aggravated stalking, a felony, on Sept. 14.
Outcome: Pending an investigation by the state attorney’s office.
Team punishment: On Tuesday, coach Urban Meyer said, “He’s not with the team. … It’s just further evaluation as we go. The immediacy is he’s not with the team.”

DUSTIN DOE
Charge #1: Misdemeanor affray and resisting arrest for his role in an April 2007 fight.
Outcome: Charges were dropped.
Charge #2: In June 2009 was charged with knowingly driving with a suspended license, a second-degree misdemeanor
Outcome: Doe was sentenced to six months probation, a $311 fine and community service.
Team punishment: No suspension for Doe in relation to the 2007 charge. After his second arrest, Doe was suspended indefinitely. He returned to play in 13 games in 2009, his senior season.

TONY JOINER
Charge: Felony theft in October 2007 for breaking into a car impound and retrieving his girlfriend’s car, which had been towed.
Outcome: Charges were dropped.
Team punishment: Joiner never missed game time, but Meyer stripped him of his captaincy.

AVERY ATKINS
Charge: Misdemeanor domestic battery in July 2006 after an altercation in Daytona Beach with the mother of his child. The initial investigation took place in June 2006 with Atkins facing accusations of felony false imprisonment along with the battery charge.
Outcome: Atkins received pre-trial intervention and both cases were eventually dropped.
Team punishment: Meyer immediately suspended Atkins, who then transferred to Bethune-Cookman, found legal trouble there and died in July 2007 from a drug overdose.

JAMAR HORNSBY
Charge #1: Cited for misdemeanor property damage and criminal mischief in April 2007 for allegedly throwing a man onto the hood of a car during a fight.
Outcome: Hornsby received deferred prosecution and the charge was later dismissed.
Charge #2: Unauthorized use of a credit card to obtain goods and services, a felony, along with misdemeanor larceny of a credit card for allegedly making more than 70 fraudulent charges on the gas credit card of a female UF student who died seven months earlier.
Outcome: Charges were reduced to misdemeanors and Hornsby took a plea deal – probation and community service.
Team punishments: No punishment for first offense, kicked off the team for second offense. Hornsby served a previous five-game suspension, but it wasn’t for the first misdemeanor – it was for selling his complimentary tickets.
 

For the record, every school has these kind of issues. And every school has videos of their unruly fans posted to YouTube. Stop trying to act like if you lose Saturday it won’t matter because of some sense of moral superiority you think is inherent to Gator fans.

Unfortunately for gator fans it's hard to differentiate between trash talk and their usual babble

Both generally are garbage when it comes to information…so your trash talk is usually an everyday thing classy.

I highly doubt that the writer of the article understands that what he posted was complete twisting of a good cause.

That "babble" your talking about, Greasy?

It’s called “proper english”…

Really?

Someone that uses “proper English” surely knows the difference between “your” and “you’re”. Also, note the capitalization of English. I believe that’s proper as well.

This thread reminds me why I hate Florida fans so much

They take their own insecurities and project them onto Florida State.

"We win at life"

“We win at life” is the statement that concludes the fact of why FSU fans hate UF fans. You guys think you are superior because you go to better academic school (nerds). I personally know a lot of UF grads that are successful AS well as FSU grads, so to say you are the only ones who are “winning at life” is ignorant. 2 years ago the day before the game in TallaCLASSY, I had a friend visiting from out of town who happened to be wearing a T-shirt at the bar. A UF fan walked up to us with no antagonizing on our part and said, “At least my parents can afford to buy me nice clothes.” then later saying “At least I’m going to get a good job because I go to UF” Most, not all, UF fans are arrogant snobs. Other than that can’t wait for the game this weekend, it’s gonna be close. GO NOLES.

That guy was a douche bag, and your an idiot for thinking “most” UF fans act that way.

It’s just like y’all with the Bobby stuff. Same with Tennessee over the Fulmer issue.

Every fan base goes crazy over a coach when he isn’t pulling his weight. Happens every time.

Every team has bad fans

Most of them didn’t even go to the school they go for. To generalize an entire fan base is ignorant. I would say UF probably has more bad apples than FSU bc of UF’s recent success. As for UF winning at life? Get over yourself. The guy that cuts my grass is a Florida fan. So is the guy that cleans my pool. Both universities are great universities and provide a quality education. Go Noles!

And in the spirit of this rivalry… gators wear jorts!

Keep jawing FSU fans

The one thing that gives me hope… Remember what happened the last time an unranked Gator squad took a trip to Tallahassee to played a ranked Seminole team? Looking forward to our return to Ron Zook Field. See y’all in Tally.

Thanks to my degree from the Univeristy of Florida

I am gainfully employed while attend graduate school, thank you very much.
Kind of sad that you need to resort to personal attacks since you can’t take some good natured trash talk, but I would expect nothing less from a person that seems to hate the Gators more than they like their own team.
GO GATORS!

I’ve known lots of people who have gone to UF, FSU and even Miami. Most of my childhood friends growing up went to those schools, as well as UCF, USF and some smaller schools in Florida.

The cream always rises to the top regardless of the school they picked.

Now I live in Tennessee and the smartest person I’ve ever known went to University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. And that isn’t known as a strong academic school.

I have never once come to Alligator Army and read something objective.

That must be why there is almost no participation in the blog itself. On the fanposts page, the post with the most comments has nineteen. Nineteen comments?

There is no participation on this site because it’s nothing more than trash talk towards the teams that UF plays.

You’ve apparently not been looking at them all season and right before the season. Some have had 60 comments and some have had 3 comments.

Really?

Comparing FSU to UF academically is like saying which turd smells less. They are both state schools and barely hold rank outside of Florida. This site makes a bad name for a great school like UF. Keep flipping those burgers and I like my with only cheese please…

Because UF is a Public Ivy….

That annoys you doesn’t it?

UF is ranked 53 and FSU is 104. So yeah, you are right, FSU doesn’t rank anything outside of the state.

But keep wishing on that Public Ivy status, and more scholars of any university in the country except for Harvard (that means UF is #2).
