Maybe things are different in North Florida but South Florida is an FSU-UF-UM rotation based on who is good at the moment.

Solid portion of these 3 fanbases are always around but it's a frontrunning area, no doubt about it.

It's similar to the feel between UGA and GT. FSU and UF fans seem to have a real dislike for the other. Miami seems to be the team that people go back and forth with.

FSU and UF don't belong on the list. Both are pathetic.

Not a shot at UGA, but that is ridiculous. Bama fans kill people over football. UGA and UF would come in behind LSU, SCAR, TAMU, Auburn, Alabama, Ole Miss and UT, IMO. Part of that is them being very large. Of course, TAMU is huge, but they're nuts, so it is different.

This might be the most ridiculous flame ever. It's understandable how you'd be confused. You don't know anything about having a rival.

I don't know a single Gator fan that cheered for FSU or any that ever have in the history of the world. Is there a flipper somewhere? Sure, I guess so. He'd never reveal that if he's smart though.

If it's so ridiculous then why do you have to argue?

Because it's true. I said half your fanbase, I give the other half the benefit of the doubt. But most people in Florida just root for the best team in the state at the time.

Which is why the ranking in the OP is so ludicrous.

Our fanbase is frickin huge in some part because we were a top 5 school in enrollment for years. More than half of our fanbase is solid Gator.

It's Bryant Bank, and named after the guy who started it - Paul Bryant, Jr... who is obviously named after his father - Bear Bryant. But the bank is not.

I wouldn't be surprised if Bear or his son helped start the bank.

I don't know man. They really aren't "fans" (fanatical) if they flip and flop. If half our fans do that as you claim, I trust you being the expert though since you live here and all, then where are they. I don't see that behavior that you claim.



Why argue? Better question: Why make ridiculous statements that can't be proven?

Why don't you photoshop Arky into the #1 position on this poll? The track team could use some company.
