I for one welcome it back. It’s an iconic chant and the racial undertones were in the 1800s. It’s a completely different world now and we shouldn’t be whitewashing traditions and chants that make sports great. The tomahawk chop, the Washington commanders, etc. when does the ridiculousness stop. Everyone is offended by something nowadays and I’m excited that UF decided this mattered enough to bring back.

Kind of like peeing on a campfire in the prairie. Some will find it offensive but it should be allowed.

They really aren’t.

It’s all about being a victim and putting you in a position of owing them something.

I quit giving a shite a long time ago. We need to bring back Col Reb. Hell, most of our black recruits post that logo on Xwitter now anyway.

Here is Mosley from his game on Friday.

I’m glad Gator Bait is back. Sumrall can make a push to end the tom petty sing along he’d be an A+ hire in my book

The only thing offensive about it is Florida fans feeling confident for a few moments….only to lose…again…to Georgia

beating dead programs like Florida and Georgia Tech is all dawg fans have to bark about these days since Kirby can’t win a playoff game in the 12 team era nor can he beat Pete Golding

I would’ve served my time as agreed.

What is the bet tho because there’s nothing tangible here.

Can some Florida fan explain these "racial undertones" to a simple chant about being bait for the mascot? I've seen this mentioned numerous times but can never figure out what makes it racial in the least bit

I try to tell people, it wasn't racist at all. The only reason black ppl were used instead of whites was the simple fact that alligators prefer dark meat.
