There's no need for that. I grew up a Florida Gator and can tell you that Tennessee fans are much more gracious and hospitable than Florida fans any day of the week. It's one of the reasons I had no problems taking the Florida Gator paraphernalia off of my car when I moved back to TN after living in FL a few years ago and witnessing just how unruly Florida fans are. A friend from Tennessee came to visit, and her car was egged in Gainesville. While there are obnoxious boors at any university, Gainesville seems to have a much higher concentration. Chalk that up to the insane antics of Steve Spurrier who, ironically, is from Tennessee (Johnson City). And having been both a Florida fan and a Tennessee fan, and having lived in both Gainesville and Knoxville, I know what I'm talking about.

OMG of course there is a need for that. No point in watching college football then.

But no I am not one of the annoying Gators fans but there are plenty, I will agree with you completely.

No Flag will be up on the car tough. Thats a little too in the face for me. Just a hat and my little boy will be wearing his gator outfit proudly the whole trip. Actually kind of curious to see the campus, shhhh, if asked I will deny I typed this and say my login was hacked.

Florida definitely has a nicer campus than U.T., rest assured. But the surrounding area around Knoxville is much more scenic than the area surrounding Gainesville.

But back to your original post ("boo Volunteers, GO GATORS"), no, there is no need for that in this type of forum unless you're just trying to get on someone's nerves. No one provoked you to say what you did. This is not a college football forum. One can show pride in his/her school without denegrating someone else's chool.

But we've definitely gotten away from the topic of this thread. We can debate the virtues of the Florida Gators vs. the Tennessee Volunteers in another thread if you'd like.

WOW you have seen some really nasty people in here havnt you. I would hope anyone who read that would see it was just simply football rivalry fun.

As far as it not being a college football forum, college football transends all forums and aspects of life, hence the advice for the mud on the license plate. (Which I might have to take )

But if we have to stick to a strict topic, no more mention of my beloved Gators will be made again.
