They were locals. Y'all are aware that graduates and/or fans of schools are spread all over the country right?

Not sure how that is at all relevant to the story. We saw two folks in Longhorns gear. Tried to be nice and hospitable. They were not having it, apparently.

Yes, you may be surprised to learn I am well aware there are fans of both schools all over the country and, shocker, all over the world as well.

I only saw one pair in our usual tailgate lot. Stayed in their rental car the entire time. Tried to offer them water, booze, and food but they seemed to just wanna be left alone in their vehicle.

Kinda weird, but their choice. We were all friendly and just hoping for a decent game.

Those two were long gone by the time I made it back to the lot post-game. Didn’t have any sitting in our section at the stadium so that was my only encounter with any Longhorns all day.

Jesus, I’ve seen what you have done for other people, and I want that for me.

re: Florida fans, who do y'all hate more, Miami or FSU?

Posted by OldCityGator on 4/10/25 at 11:50 am to SPAGHETTI PLATE

I hate UGA, but at least I can kinda respect them on some levels. A little.

FSU can burn in Hell for the rest of eternity and it wouldn't be long enough suffering. And there's not one single thing to even respect about them, not even the conference they play in.

Every single FSU fan I have ever met or was forced to be around either through work or mutual friendships was either an a-hole or eventually showed their true colors as an a-hole.

Uhhhh, Ole Miss did not beat Florida this year. We upset them in our house. I witnessed it in person with my own eyeballs.

Eh, we won our bowl game. That was all we could contribute.

Which bowl is FSU in this year?

Damn, I don't like you guys, but I love seeing that. Hope even more baby puke orange pours in.

re: Guess it is an orange out at Florida this weekend?

Posted by OldCityGator on 10/16/24 at 10:23 pm to Tvilletiger

Well, dunno about the other sports this weekend but football is versus Kentucky. We traditionally are expected to wear the opposite color when the opposing team shares one of ours, so orange against Kentucky, blue against Tennessee, etc. If there is no shared color, then wear whatever you want.

One of my HS coaches lost his shite on the refs and cost us a game. Neither he nor any of the other coaches ever said a word about it after the game.

Many years later, I looked him up online and found his testimony about getting sober.

We knew our coaches had issues, but didn't really know what functional alcoholics were yet, or how they can be up and around and going thru all the motions but not remember it later.

Makes me think of Kevin Sumlin at A&M. Rumors were swirling by his final year, but I don't think anyone knew he was "get arrested driving blackout drunk" bad. It's not always obvious.

Wonder if it may be onset of CTE? How many blows did he take to the head as a player? Doesn't CTE cause memory and behavioral issues like extra aggression?

Depends on the individuals and their overall disposition, compatibility, and all the usual factors for any positive relationship.

I was 20 when I met my (now) husband when he was 33. We kinda both cluelessly danced around each other for a year not realizing we both had crushes on each other (or, at least, not taking the next step to act on said crushes). A year later, we got past that shite and started dating. A year later, we got married. And we’ll be celebrating our 17th wedding anniversary later this month.

re: Hurricane Milton - The Cleanup Begins...

I'd reschedule or go anywhere else. One of my BFFs lives in Orlando (I'm in St. Augustine) and the last time a hurricane went over them like this is predicted to, there were a TON of trees down on power lines and houses everywhere. Yeah, Disney is pretty fast to open stuff back up once determined safe, but I gotta imagine there may be limited staffing, too, because the people who work at Disney live in Orlando and are gonna have their own post-hurricane damage/issues to deal with.

Go now and fill your vehicles and gas cans.

Yuppers, did that yesterday as well as the liquor and grocery store run for extra supplies. Husband's firing up the generator today to make sure that's hopefully still good to roll.

Then bring the lawn projectiles into the garage Tuesday and play the waiting game.

Be safe. :cheers:

Just south of you guys in St. Augustine. Wind picking up. Keep staring at radars waiting on this thing to start going more north rather than northeast and wondering…
