If I hear the phrase moral victory one more time, EVER, I’m gonna choke somebody. Seriously, I’ll do it, try me. Don’t get me wrong, I am pumped about what went on down in Gainesville this past Saturday, but its only been a week and I have already grown to loathe those words. And all it does is remind me how far our once relevant program has fallen. Sure, by stepping up in the Swamp and punching the Gators square in the mouth we scored a victory with recruits and doubters everywhere. And I love that the national media just continues to do us a huge favor by hanging on every word Lane Kiffin has to say. But I can’t wait until we actually beat those punks on the field, repeatedly. We HAVE to beat them on the field, because these bandwagon Florida fans make me want to puke and I’m tired of them and all their nonsense.
On the way in to work yesterday morning, I was sitting at a traffic light on Neyland Drive right next to the stadium. I was behind a car with a Tennessee vanity plate that had a Gator on it. The chick also had a Gator sticker in her window, and get this, she was a UT student (I saw her parking permit hanging from her mirror). How is this happening? My relative is marrying a Florida fan – from Powell mind you, and now she’s starting to think that the Gators are kinda cool, even though she’s been a UT fan all her DADGUM life. Something has to change in Knoxville, before it’s too late.
I think we stuck the first blow this past Saturday, but we need to remember that this spreading of bandwagon fandom in Knoxville is a serious epidemic that did not happen overnight and we will require years of treatment before we can finally rid ourselves of this sickness.
In the meantime, I have made it my personal quest to call out all the bandwagon fans I can. And in doing so, I came up with a simple quiz that any half-wit Florida fan who has cheered for the Gators for any amount of time should be able to answer. If they can’t answer these questions, CALL THEM OUT!
