Southern Florida is flat. I didn't like it down there .. being a cyclist and all I didn't like the flatness.
Northern Florida was alot better though.
So who's better this year .. Florida or Florida State ?

Northern Florida was a little better, but it was still waaaaaay too flat and hot for me. And straight. There would be 15 signs warning of a "curve" in the road and I would barely even need to turn my steering wheel! I'm used to hills and curves and 4 seasons. I did NOT appreciate the climate in Florida at all. And don't get me started on the Palmetto bugs.

Unfortunately, this year FSU (F*** those Seminoles!) is much better than UF. We're not even ranked! We haven't been unranked in years. I think we had a losing season last year, and it was the first losing season in more than 20 years.

But no college fans are fair-weather fans only; we stick by our teams no matter what!

(Ironically, I hated living in Florida!)

Little doubt about that one, in my mind. Florida is struggling. Florida State doesn't look as strong as all the preseason pundits predicted, but they're solid. Florida has GOT to get their QB, and their defense, playing more consistently this season. Muschamp's seat is getting hotter every week...

You THINK Florida had a losing season last year? 4-8, including an EPIC loss to GEORGIA freakin' SOUTHERN...yep, losing season right there...

I do sympathize though; ever since the Kiffin debacle, TN has just stumbled and fumbled around, making bad hiring decisions. I admit, I had high hopes for Dooley in his first year--but by his last year, when he just QUIT playing against Missouri, wow, that was just unforgiveable.
I HOPE we win this game today. I HOPE we get to a bowl this year--but whether we do or not, I think the ship has finally been righted and we're on the way up instead of down.

You'll be glad to hear that my boyfriend comes from Michigan stock on his mother's side. The family was in Michigan for generations; she went to UMich and so did his brother. And I'm no fool - my boyfriend's mother is a Michigan fan, so I am a Michigan fan!

It's still weird for me to watch Florida struggle like they have been. My first year of school there was the last season Emmitt Smith played. I even almost ran over him on campus one day when he and a bunch of players suddenly started crossing the road in front of me! (I could have smashed his knee and ended his career right there! That man owes me!!)

Then a few years after I graduated came the Danny Wuerffel years. Then I was overseas and couldn't really follow them as much. When I came back, it was just about to start the Tebow years when that team was just a machine.

Then Urban Mayer faux-retired and defected back to Ohio State (boooooo, hisssssss!). I like Muschamp but yes, he's got to get the QB sorted.

I still miss Spurrier

Why did Spurrier split ? He always had awesome teams

Spurrier wanted to coach in the NFL. He left Florida for the Redskins job. That only lasted a year.

He left in 2001 it seems to try his hand at coaching pro, but it didn't work out so well, so he went back to college coaching. Not sure if he tried to get his job back at Florida, but 2005 is when they brought Urban Meyer in. Spurrier went to South Carolina and of course now they have become good, too.

We so need to get him back where he belongs!

According to the All-Knowing Wikipedia:

Throughout the 2004 football season, various sources openly speculated about Spurrier returning to coach in the college ranks once again, preferably for a program located in the Southeastern United States and even more preferably, somewhere in his beloved Southeastern Conference.[50] The University of Florida was in the process of taking applications for a new coach after Spurrier's successor at Florida, Ron Zook, was fired following the 2004 season.[51] The timing seemed perfect for Spurrier's return to the Gators and Spurrier initially said that he wanted to be considered for his old job, but later removed his name from consideration stating that "12 years at Florida was probably long enough."[52] Soon afterwards, rumors began circulating that South Carolina Gamecocks' Athletic Director, Mike McGee, was actively pursuing Spurrier and that Spurrier was considering the Gamecocks' offer. Again, the timing was perfect and on November 22, South Carolina coach Lou Holtz announced his retirement and, during his final press conference, hinted that Spurrier might replace him.[53] The next day, months of rumors were put to rest as Spurrier was introduced as South Carolina's new head coach. Spurrier had signed a seven-year deal that paid him $1.25 million per year and the Steve Spurrier era began for the Gamecocks.[54]

Um Lady L; where are the Gator toes? Sharon showed us her nails.

A helmet, a jersey, a mug, a mousepad, a blue & orange mouthpiece or something.
