UF has won at least one national title every full athletic season since 2008. 26 in all since then in 12 different sports. Obviously want football to be better, but program is producing some titles.

Just how classless and insecure Florida fans are.
FSU fan posting on an SEC message board calling an SEC team classless and insecure.
Priceless.

For decades FSU was a guarantee for the college baseball postseason. Routinely #1, with what was considered one of the best managers in the sport.
And every single year they blew it. Every. Single. Year.
So yeah, that hate you feel? It's from jealousy.

Is anyone going to report this guy? He’s trying to look like he’s the real “Fear The Spear” user on here, who does have critical thinking.
This is point blank impersonating and should be reported.

I admit I am jealous of the Gates because they were able to duck playing those powerhouse Miami teams of the 80s and 90s while we had to play them every year. That is a major reason why we “blew it” (as you say) since we had to play the best of the best in the State.
Miami fans and players from that era have more distain for UFail since the Cowardly Gators avoided the U.
If it weren’t for Florida State law, the Gates would cancel playing FSU too, and only play FAU, FIU, and maybe USF (though they nearly beat y’all in the Swamp under Bargain Bin Billy, so maybe not).
UF voted for a 9 game SEC schedule in 2024 only because they wanted to cancel their game with Miami and/or UCF
Shame in the Cowardly Gators

How Florida Was Ordered To Play Florida State
quote:
Governor LeRoy Collins entered the fray.
Governor Collins had been outraged that a bill had even been placed on the floor of the Senate. He believed that the State Legislature had more important things to do than schedule football games.
His outrage intensified to extreme anger, when he learned that as many as three other bills were in the process of being written.
He decided to act.
He summoned both Presidents to the Governor's Mansion for a meeting.
There are no official documents of what was said in that meeting, but whatever was said worked. Within a matter of a few weeks the Presidents of both Florida State and Florida appeared before the Board of Control and asked that the Board initiate action that would result in the two schools competing against each other in all sports.
A game was close, but still not official.
The Board turned the situation over to the athletic departments of both schools to finalize everything. Despite numerous meetings, nothing could be concluded and negotiations dragged on for another 6 months.
Finally, a still angry and now agitated Governor Collins ordered both President Campbell of Florida State and President Reitz of Florida to return to Tallahassee to meet with him and the Board of Control.
Collins would later be quoted..."there are some things that are better off not being mentioned in the sunshine," when he was asked why the meeting was behind locked doors.
The only thing known for certain is that when the meeting ended the Board of Control announced that Florida will play Florida State in football next year.
The headlines of the Tallahassee Democrat stated..."UF-FSU FOOTBALL ORDERED".
It would later be determined that the University of Florida did indeed have some contractual issues and they were granted a grace period from the Board of Control, and were ordered to play Florida State in 1958.
Fiction: There was never a law enacted that ordered Florida to play Florida State in Football.
Fact: The State Board of Control Ordered Florida to play Florida State in Football.

I know we only have one WS championship so obviously this is my favorite, but which FSU championship is your favorite?
Posted on 6/10/23 at 11:11 am to Fear TheSpear
Right. So no state law exists for us to play every year.

There’s no point in interacting with this idiot troll. The same troll that thinks there are more fsu and Miami fans than Florida fans. Also makes fun of us for attendance, even though we just had the record attendance last night for a baseball game held on campus in Florida.
Don’t feed the troll. He will be banned soon as an obvious impersonator and alter.
