When you say a school has tradition, it seems to me that apparently you had to have it back in the mid 20th century. Schools like Notre Dame and Michigan...no one doubts they have tradition today, but they haven't been all that in the last 25 years or so. In fact, in terms of championships, they haven't done jack squat. However nobody doubts their tradition. Last Notre Dame Championship was 1988 and Michigan had half of one in 1997. Other than that....nothing. So, if you had it back then, you can never lose it even though you haven't been very good for two decades. On the other hand, if your "tradition" is relatively recent...say in the last 30 years or so, then you can't claim tradition, because....well, you just can't apparently. Some schools, like Alabama, have tradition over the entire time span, of course. But apparently just in football. Still trying to figure this tradition thing out. LL

Does Fine really only weigh 170 lbs? Not buying that. LL

The University of Florida had no real success in Football until Spurrier arrived. We had winning seasons and the like, but we really weren't relevant in the championship discussion until The Visored one came home. Since that time, UF has made a name for itself not only in football, but also basketball, and has been one of the top overall athletic programs in the country. The academic reputation has also improved during that same time. We are fortunate and happy to be in the place we are now. But, in the past, it is true, we were not so much. LL No. LL

Untrue....so untrue.....we are just very drunk by the third quarter. See, for most of our history, our football team was being bombed on the field, but that was ok, since we were all bombed in the stands. Seriously, the end of third quarter swaying goes back a while. Not sure who came up with it first really. This one goes back probably to the early 1920's but the people at aTm might have us beat with it. LL You really will piss us off if you say we ripped off the aTm types. Those are fighting words, actually. LL

We all wear jean shorts. LL

Don't lose that sense of humor now. LL Seriously, we actually play these games for a reason, and UF is not good enough to just show up and beat anyone. If you don't believe me, our coach said the same thing today at his presser. I believe him. I think our best WR is out for the game. Seems to be some cloak and dagger stuff on the seriousness of the injury. LL

Yes, we remember the streak, even from 1947. Just to let you all know something.... LL I stole these from another poster at GC on the premium boards, but got a chuckle out of them.

I will give it to you in another thread then. BTW, those cheerleaders....smokin'. LL

You people look like you have a sense of humor so, here goes. About page three is when the cheerleaders really show up.....probably will be a favorite... http://www.gatorcountry.com/swampgas/threads/say-something-good-about-north-texas.350070/ Rock on. LL

Oh this is cool. You are showing pictures of dead alligators, and we are showing pictures of your cheerleaders. Not sure if this has a deeper meaning or anything. LL
