Hatred for the The Gator goes back, way back...before almost anybody on this board was born. The roots of our hatred are lost in history, that's how deep and far back it goes. I guess that nobody is alive now that was around when the evilness of UF was first cast upon the land.
The only person who could tell the tale was the late Walt Kichefski, who took all the secrets with him. If you ever heard one of Coach Ski's legendary speeches about all the terrible deeds performed by The Gator, you would know how far back we have had to deal with the wrongfulness of this band of rogues, scoundrels and miscreants who have cast a pall upon the civilization. Back in the late 40's....or maybe it was the early 40s, the Gator arranged for our troops, er team, to be accommodated in a motel in Ocala where it rained all night, and the rain leaked through the roof and ceiling into the players' rooms. Or maybe it was the filthy lockerroom with showers that didn't work....or maybe their attempt to steal the war canoe which was the winner's trophy to our annual series (cancelled by the malevolent Gator). Look at what is happening in the Middle East, the killing and terror....no doubt the Gators are behind it. Iranian race for the bomb? Probably Iranian exchange students trained at the UF engineering school....the plague--all Gator. SARS? A Gator invention, an organism that escaped from a UF research lab. The second shooter in the Kennedy assassination? A Gator (and still a secret all these years.). Your cable goes out during NBA Championship or the SuperBowl? Call customer service at the cable company, and it's a underemployed Gator who offers to send somebody out two Saturdays from now between 9 am and 5 pm. Called in for an IRS audit? The auditor is a Gator. Your small office network crashes and you can't bill your clients? It's the Gatorworm.
There's just no end to it....
