re: Vols vs. Gators

You don't take issue with the image?

We have more than 100 more wins than UF. We are 8th in all time victories.

It took UF 53 years to win a conference crown, and it was vacated for cheating.

"UNDEFEATED NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!" -- Said no Gator fan ever.

UF has NEVER had an undefeated season.

But UF has had a season as recently as 1979 where it won no games at all.

UT has not failed to win at least 4 games a season since 1924, while programs like UF, UA and AU all had seasons with no wins at all.

Now, that is certainly a left-handed compliment for the Volunteers but the factors that caused a 10 year decline in UT fortunes have abated.

Right...basically when you were a kid, Florida was a TAMU-Ole Miss level program- occasionally good, a Heisman level player maybe once a generation, etc. But since then Florida's become a Top 5-10 level program. Hell, prior to 1980 no team from Florida had ever played for a national title or won a major conference title, since then the Big 3 have played for roughly half of all national titles. Winning 11, and have won 32 Major conference championships.
