re: How will tSECR react if VOLS beat Oklahoma

Why does Florida hate us? It's not like we're a threat. The last time we beat them George W. Bush was in his first term and all of the Gator fans here were still learning how to tie their shoes. It's true that some of them are now in their 40s and still learning, but they'll get it.

We have always hated one another. Spurrier set the tone for that hate and unlike with Bama there was never a mutual respect developed to offset the hate. I mean sure UT and Bama hate each other but there's a begrudging respect there too. Not so with UF-UT which is kinda weird given that Ray Graves was born in Knoxville, a Vol fan/player/team captain and Neyland Disciple. He even coached his first job with the Vols. And Graves certainly wasn't the only one.

I think if we'd played more prior to expansion/Steve some respect could've developed. But it never did.
