The Mutts because I see them as an equal. FSU is a jealous little brother

It is probably an age thing. I distinctly remember listening to sports talk Radio one day back in the 90's when the Gators were absolutely rolling and we were deep in the Goff era and the host asking "Who was the Gator's biggest rival, FSU or Tennessee?" It was back and forth but all the fans that had been around for a while said Georgia.

If I had to put money on how the Ol' Ball Coach would answer that question, I'd bet on Georgia...for the same reasons Kirby would say Florida.

I've been to the Florida-FSU game as well. Different Vibe. The Cocktail party has it's share of trash talking and drunk brawling but at the end you run into Gators at the bar or whatever and it is all fun. But the atmosphere at that FSU game was more akin to when we play Tech...you just want to hang 50 on them and not think about them until next year. Richt's "Clean, Old Fashioned Hate" quote works for that game as well.

Again, I'm an outsider but I'm at least familiar with it having grown up in Jax. The Tennessee rivalry is like us and Bama...Lots of important games because they were both at their high points at the same time but not really a historic rivalry in the sense of FSU and Georgia. Feel free to correct me Gator Fans

For Gator fans in South Florida, it's probably FSU 1st, Miami 2nd and UGA 3rd.


Yep, this is me. For my father Georgia is enemy #1 though.

While the "Cocktail party" is intense during the game for sure..never had any issues before or after a game with any Georgia fans, same with Tenn.

Now fricking Miami fans and FSU fans...there will prob be an issue for sure if you get to close to their tailgates.

I would go with FSU simply because most of us interact with them the most being in-state. UGA is a huge game, but doesn't have the same level of hatred because the game set up is so unique.

Might be different for those up near Georgia. And likewise, probably get more saying Miami if ask those in South Florida.

From what I have seen on here most seem to burn with a white hot hatred for FSU.

That's not to say they have fond feelings toward Georgia, though. We probably come in a semi-close second.

Yes.

And you didn't even address my post. No Florida fan would have Tennessee even with Georgia as a rival.

when I became a fan, in the 90s, Georgia was a dumpster fire and the Vols were our main conference rival so I grew up hating them more, it wasn’t until Kirby and post Fulmer that they’ve evened out

This is why I have Tennessee and UGA on the same level because my hate leveled out since they went into decline while UGA moved up during the Kirby era

You are spot on overall but some Auburn fans will probably try to correct you

My hatred for Georgia runs deep, but Florida State exists on an entirely different level. Georgia is a rivalry. Florida State is a disease. Watching them lose feels less like sports and more like justice being restored.

If you became a “Florida fan” 5 years ago, then I can see why you hate Georgia and Tennessee more than anyone else.

Your points are just idiotic otherwise.
