Do you really, honestly feel that the fan behavior at the Kentucky football game in '98 was one of the defining moments for Gator Nation? Do you think it hit the top 10 all-time game attendance marks? Do you think that Commander Couch was whipping the stadium into an insane feeding frenzy of hate and lust? That our hearts burned with passion to see him getting injured? That we were in our full regalia, both physically and spiritually?
No offense, but our football team, and its fans, treats that game like your basketball team, and their fans, treats the College of Charleston game. It's the closest thing to playing against air that we get all season. Sometimes our players even tell the coaches they see a Kentucky jersey fading in and out of their peripheral vision on the way to the endzone.
Maybe Couch got sacked and injured, coincidentally when the score to another game got flashed on the scoreboard. Like "Miami 3 - Pittsburgh 14" I can't imagine an injury to couch producing that much applause.
If you want to see real obnoxious behavior, go to an FSU or Tennessee game. We really soil the name of the Gator Nation then. We come equip with cups of urine, dog feces, molotov cocktails, basically the entire arsenal. I think Smokey III from UT died from a car accident a few seasons ago. We held a pep rally to celebrate it. Bobby Bowdens granddaughter has cancer, I think we've had a couple Gator fans stationed in front of her house for the past 2 years doing nothing but heckling and laughing at her situation.
I'm sorry we couldn't do more for you RP. Get better in football and maybe you'll see our true colors.
