Please.

SEC Fanbases for years have cried about Rammer Jammer. The only difference was, we don't give a crap about their whiny opinions.

FWIW - I do agree that the PC bullshite is out of hand

Agree 100%

BUT, when vulgarities are thrown out and blatant, it has to be stopped

OR, do we want football games at our universities to be a place where children and families are not welcome?

Suwannee is still part of pregame. They play it as they are forming the UF tunnel for the team to run out.


I think that is actually, "Suwannee, how I love you."

not the state song, Suwannee River, Old Folks at Home."

I will listen closer on Saturday, Go Gators.

"we're gonna beat the hell out of you"

is not a vulgarity

neither is "and to hell with GA Tech" at the end of our fight song

"suck that Tiger dick, bitch" has NO PLACE being allowed at a game

Or it could be a reflection of the student-athletes they recruited while at UF.


Why don't you take the time to go look at their offer lists and let me know if any other schools were recruiting the same players. Something tells me a bunch did.

Good theory though. Here's a big thumbs up.

The UF administration cares, the UA administration does not.

You have to love that about Bama, no PCness in that fan base.

This is such bullshite. It was a dumb chant, but it was OUR dumb chant, dammit. I realized it was gone on Saturday and just knew it was some PC bull. Students will chant it anyways just like they tried to on Saturday.

One of my memories of attending UF games as a child was the intro of "The pride of the Sunshine, the University of Florida fighting Gator marching band," and the band blaring out, WAY DOWN UPON THE SUWANEE RIVER!!!

Do you think that most of the band really gives a frick about the football game? It didn't at my college. Just part of the duty to get the scholarship money.

The real attraction to the football game was knowing that once it was over and the instruments were packed, the party began.

I could tell you things.

Know that by and large, college music departments pretty much tolerate the athletic departments but generally view them as kind of a pain in the arse.
