Man get out of your got **** feelings man. You a grown *** man. Geeeeezuz dude.
I'm not in my feelings, I'm just trying different language because my message clearly isn't getting through. Everybody here has listened and acknowledged your point of view. We get where you're coming from, we just disagree. But for some reason you feel the need to pop in to let us know you don't approve every now and then, and it gets annoying.
As I've said before, I respect you as a poster and I understand your view on this thread, but the truth is that I'm having too much fun with this to care.
I'll say this, I respect the he!! out of Tweed, and I know how much he loves UM. I can also imagine he and I having this conversation if we were at a tailgate or sitting next to one another at a game, and it wasn't just some impersonal internet exchange.
I was young when the UM-UF thing was an annual rivalry. Some may not understand my hatred of UF, and I understand that others don't see the rivalry the same way that I do. UF is on our schedule in 13 months. We are allowed to start "worrying" about them or "monitoring" them or "laughing" at them, at this point.
We recruit many of the same kids from the same areas. Even if we don't play them frequently, we will continue to bump up against them.
Maybe some posters on this thread occasionally go on a tangent or make a joke that isn't as funny or laser-focused on the main topic.
Again, there are a lot of reasons to mock the Gaytors, but this isn't some exhaustive "UM vs. UF" debate in which we have to be morally superior to them in every possible way in order to enjoy a few laughs.
I don't care if Gaytor fans mock this thread. Of the posts on this thread that critique things the Gaytors and their fans have said and done, I would feel comfortable if 90% of those posts were taken to GaytorBait as screen shots, since the vast majority of our posts are spot-on about how ridiculous the Gaytor coaches and fans are. I want their fans to read this thread, it is probably the only honesty they will encounter. God knows, their moderators are filling their heads with delusional fantasies about Silvera and Pope and Hall flipping to them.
Their will be ebbs and flows of Gator tears. RVA is correct to point out how the Gaytor class lost a 5-star (Corral), but overall the class was rated higher. That's truth. But it is ALSO a truth that, prior to the Corral verbal, the Gaytor board was bemoaning their multi-year 5-star drought. They got 10 verbals within a week or two, but the only one that moved the needle for them was Corral, and "now they finally had a 5-star". And now they don't.
So, yes, I will laugh at their star-***** ways, and their delusional flip plans. This thread won't entertain and/or satisfy everyone, but we will continue to find Gator tears all year long.
We aren't perfect, but the Gaytors think they are. And that is funny.
