It's that time of the year. Florida Hate Week. Easily my least favorite football team, excluding Bama, this fan base and team are pretty fun and easy to poke at. This game Saturday is our biggest one yet, and we must finally put the Gators in their place. So maybe it has been eleven years, but I really, truly believe that "this is our year." Even living just an hour away from Knox Vegas, I have to deal with plenty of Florida fans for some reason, and they are the worst.
1. The worst colors ever
So I am naturally partial to orange. But only a beautiful, light, sunset orange. Not that bright/weird dark hunter orange. Especially paired with blue, it is easily the worst color combo in all of sports.
2. Aaron Hernandez
Yeah, that one sucks. Do really need to go any farther?
3. Sore winners
Congrats, you won in Week 3. It's not the Championship. Whether they win against a Division 1-AA team or FSU, you honestly can't tell because they act the same way. You beat a team who has had one win all season. Congrats?
4. Sore losers
When they do lose, you can find everyone crying (including players) or making up excuses. Everyone has bad games. Own up to it, practice those skills more, and move on to the next game. No once cares that the moon was in waning crescent which pulled the breeze off the ocean slightly blah, blah, blah. You lost.
5. Tebow obsession
Speaking of crying... Okay, now don't get me wrong. I think Tim Tebow is an amazing person, and if was't for wearing that hideous orange and blue, I'd be a pretty big fan. But honestly, they still talk about him as a player to this day. And now he's in baseball, so there's that...
6. Bandwagon
When they are down by 2 touchdowns or more, they will jump ship faster than a rat. When they start to pick up speed again, oh, baby, they're gonna win it all! There's no middle ground. When you commit to a team, you should commit to that team through the Bowl games and the ranking drops. You don't get to be back and forth.
7. Their pretentiousness
So everyone in the SEC calls the opposing team's fans redneck inbreds, but Florida fans act as if they are the classiest and least trashy fans of them all. Which is hilarious. Yeah, Tennessee has some (okay, lots of) redneck fans, but at least we own up to it.
8. The weird coaches
Name one coach that doesn't annoy you or creep you out. I'll wait.
9. That stupid Chomp
I swear, chomping in someone's face is the equivalent of the middle finger. Loud, obnoxious, drunk fans may do this near you or at you at any given moment.
