Homogenous enough for ya? (I can't type the other word I meant to say in a non-derogatory manner.)

 

Ya know, I was watching Youtube tonight trying to get my fix for NCAA football. I watch all the highlight videos from my team's last season. I then came across a video entitled, "why UGA football sucks." It was made by some Florida fan.  I actually think the UGA team should watch it to pump themselves up; I also saw a shot at why Florida sucks, but that was a bit misguided b/c it's hard to make one about a team that recently won the title game.  Anyways, I decided to look up other "sucks" videos for other teams. I saw a lot of video blogs of why tOSU and/or Mich sucks coming from each other's fans. Saw one "Utah state football sucks." Didn't know that people in smaller schools have bitter rivalries cause I never hear about them. I also saw another Bama sucks video, but it was only 1:22 and wasn't a montage. One OU sucks video, and another USC sucks video from a Clemson person. There were also numerous videos of USC (Carolina) beating UGA; to be fair though, I saw a bunch of UGA over UF videos too.  I also came across a whole bunch of feet sucking videos too; to each his own I suppose.

 

Seeing the "Why UGA football sucks" and "why uga football still sucks" and an inordinately mean "OSU, Don't Cry Out Loud - A Florida Gators BCS Tribute" gave me an idea (I didn't watch the "Why UGA basketball sucks" video b/c I just don't care that much. I'm a typical football school fan.)  UGA and tOSU fans should not be bickering. The same goes for UM fans and UGA fans.  'Why?' you may ask. We should all unite under our common hate of Florida.  Knowing that we all share a common enemy should be grounds to consider each other friends instead of enemies.  We just generalize Big 10 vs. SEC too much. Let's just all be friends.  [There's no common enemy for SEC and Pac 10 teams, so keep on with that negativity. The Big 10 just gets a bad rap at the hands of the SEC in the title game.]

Thanks man. I always enjoy your objectivity on NCAA football. I know I talk about "hating" each other, but you're a cool gator fan.

Dude I am with 100%, start the "why Florida sucks" group!

March 20, 2008  08:38 PM ET

Maybe I'll start a Gator Hater group.

On one hand, I find it hard to care less about Florida. Guess I just don't have it in me to hate any team except my school's rival - TSUN

On the other hand, I have to admit I did get a great pleasure seeing the looks on the faces of the Florida fans after TSUN turned the ball over half a dozen or so times and still won the upset - looking like the faster team with the more explosive offense - on a late game winning drive no less...

...so if I got a sick enjoyment seeing my rival embarass the fans of another team in an upset, I guess I am with you on this.

...and idiot fans fans who have lost all perspective and OSUs performance in the NC game aside, there have been some great bowl games played out between the SEC and Big 10 the last few years...

There is a Gator Hater group, but the Calvin that's urinating on the Gator is a FSU Calvin. I've asked to change the logo so it could be more universal.

Big Ten does suck. The SEC has two straight NCs from two different teams. When was the last time the Big Ten won two straight Rose Bowls? Just because the Big Ten fans (just UM and OSU mommas' boys) don't want to hear how badly their conference is decaying and how thin their rosters and conference is doesn't mean it is not true.

They don;t get it because they don't have it.

If you're not looking, then you won't see it. They can't watchSEC games for the most part. We all can see Big Ten games because almost all of the big ones are on ABC or ESPN in the afternoon The only chance they get to see the top SEC teams is either on some Saturday nights, an interconference week 1 game or on New Year's day.

Umm Deep South..the Badgers won two straight Rose Bowls in 99 and 2000...

Stay off UTube and get a life! Idiotic videos about other schools is just stupid.... unless, of course, they are about Notre Dame.

April 11, 2008  10:16 AM ET

Heheh, good point bkg320. I think ragging on Notre Dame is more fun than the other schools; I guess that's b/c they're an independent. That and they're a bunch of crazy catholics.

Thanks for your opinion. That's why I put up my blogs. You should look at my other blog "Conference fans need to calm down." I basically share the same sentiments, I think. At least the title implicates that.

I did get a kick out of that. I don't know if you saw my profile, but I show some crazy looking Gator fans, and UGA students love to rip on Gator fans wearing jean shorts for some reason, so I displayed that also. Sadly to say though, for each crazy looking Gator fan there's one bulldog fan that's just as haggard looking. I grew up in a suburban area, so I didn't experience the real south, but I'm here now and the South really is a place of its own.
