That's the old south, southern culture victimization BS. If you don't have actual enemies, manufacture them so that you can have something to hate and play victim to so that you can have someone else to blame for whatever's wrong. OF COURSE they brought politics into it because much of that depends on the same mindset. The same crap is underneath a lot of the SEC! SEC! chanting throughout the conference - us vs them regionalism. Why is a big portion of their fan base so different from the UF student body?
