re: Besides football, why are Florida crowds and stadium facilities so shitty?

Here’s the reality and the old UF fans don’t like to admit it though it’s a a positive in general: UF is a nerd school like Vandy. The current UF fans don’t care about athletics. UF is a huge school with generally good athletics yet their tan support is pathetic. Unless their team is top 10, their Support is very bad including football for a school that size in the SEC.

I’m an old school UF player and fan and you are spot on correct. UF is an academic school now. Kids are studying instead of going to games. I know kids that got turned down with 4.0 gpas. Now they are up late at night studying and don’t have time to watch a meaningless spring game. Even the women have changed. The hottest women went to UF, now they go to FSU and UCF because they can’t get in.

The state of Florida is also pretty poor. All schools have struggled upgrading facilities. Florida fans don’t travel well because there’s not a lot of money in the state. Sad but true.
