The following is an excerpt from a friend, GatorPartyBoy.
I've had many arguments with Canes fans regarding the "Gauntlet" that they call their first four games, (which includes wins against two teams that now have 3 losses). Anyway, after hearing that the Gators' schedule is SO easy and the Canes' is SO hard, I found it interesting that the NCAA strength of schedule rankings has the Gators substantially higher than the Canes.
Go Figure.
Go Gators.

Figure this: The gaytors just almost lost to Arkansas (yes, that Arkansas), AT HOME.
Go worry about your offensive woes.
Go worry about Alabama.
Go Canes.
Dear Cane Fan (nay, idiot),
Check the BCS rankings and our win/lose record. Then, go cry yourself to sleep and hope to dream of past cane glory or cane gloryholes - whatever comes to your mind first.
Go be #1.
Go Gators.
Dear SHE,
Nobody's arguing against your dominance the last couple of years. Settle down a bit. Ask any of your gaytor friends whom I see on a regular basis and they'll agree that I give plenty of props to your team, particularly your QB.
That said, the original post is minimizing our victories in three of the first four games of the season. That's absurd. Considering the expectations of most coming into the season were for us to finish no better than 1-3, or in some cases, 0-4 (Jota - what happened there, maricon???), what we've accomplished so far is nothing short of impressive. So, get the fuck out of here with now all of a sudden saying that all those teams suck, and give props when they're due.
MOREOVER, this post comes two days after a near loss against Arkansas, IN YOUR OWN HOME! Shouldn't gaytor fans be more worried about legitimate concerns on the offensive side of the ball, or about having to play a rolling (pun intended) Alabama team in the SEC Championship? Instead you're worrying about a team most of you argue has been irrelevant for the past few years. Nice.
Go 5 National Championships.
Go Canes.
Hurricanes are ugly!
Yes Arkansas is a 3 loss team. But two of those losses are to the #1 & #2 team in the country. Yes what the "Who" have done is impressive. But only because everyone thought you would suck. It's like when an idiot finally spells his own name right. No big accomplishment - but for a retard its a big thing so people applaud.
Let’s get this all out on the table right now.
If you’ve conceded the same Gator endorsing points stated in your response publicly and, more importantly, to members of the Faithful then your anonymity coupled with your Cane affiliation were the sole causes of the vitriol I spewed. Since you partake in debauchery with Faithful members (although your association with Jota is a double edged sword) and I now think I know who you are, I will make a qualified retraction of my Cane hating post as being inapplicable to you and only you.
With all that being said, I will not retract my comments for the benefit of any other Cane supporters. I didn’t place any importance into the timing of Gomer’s most excellent Cane hating post when I spat disdain via my comment. In fact, I think the timing of Gomer’s post was most appropriate in light of last Saturday.
I, like nearly all the Gator fans, walked away from the Arkansas game with serious concerns about our team. (See my comments to Leaf’s “Gators at the Midterm” post.) However, watching the 4th Quarter of that game in a bar where FIU/MDCC alumni (purporting to be Cane fans) were cheering for the Razorbacks and making ridiculous claims were the un-kindliest cuts of all.
I don’t know which side started the fire but the Canes have nothing and have not had anything on the Gators for far too long. The fact that Canes fans even try to bring the Gators into any conversation in today’s day connotes an equality that I will not accept. There are too many FACTS that prove Gator superiority over the Canes in recent years. So why even try to talk shit?
Maybe I have a low threshold of patience for ignorant people and MDCC dropouts saying that the Canes are better that the Gators (or) that Jacory Harris is a better football player than Tim Tebow lay the perfect foundation for me to go ape shit. Maybe I’m just a prick.
In either event, I know a few inalienable truths. One, there are very few Cane fans that have a single rational bone in their body. Two, most of said Cane fans graduated from the University of Florida. [I’ll leave it to others (Gomer) to comment on the phenomenon that is these people’s steadfast childhood allegiance.]
Party Boy -
You conveniently forget to mention that Bama handled them pretty well, beating them 35-7, and in their other loss, they allowed 52 points to Georgia, which ain't peanuts. But that's fine, continue telling yourself they're a good team, especially at the end of the year when they end up with at least 6 losses.
SHA -
Anyone who tells you Miami is just as good or better than the gaytors right now is an idiot, just like any gaytor fan who claimed their team was as good as Miami while we were in college is an idiot. I've seen examples of both, and neither is unique to one side, so get off your high horse claiming that only Miami fans act in that manner. Having gone to school in Gainesville, I constantly heard from idiot gaytor fans that their team was as good or better than the U, despite all evidence to the contrary. Regardless, these types of fans should be shot, IMO.
As to your point regarding maintaining "childhood allegiances," I rooted for the U since I was 5-6 years old. I experienced the good (4 Nat'l Championships while I was rooting for them, 56 game home winning streak), and the bad (the probation years, and more recently, Larry Coker/Patrick Nix). I don't see how I could ever root for a team other than the U, even having graduated from another school. You go to a school to get an education and set yourself up for the right career path, not to root for a football team. Having grown up in Miami, why would I go to a lesser-ranked college located in Miami, that would have cost me $30k per year?? And personally I don't believe in rooting for more than one team in college football, I think its ridiculous. I HATE every other team in college football, some more than others (gaytors, OSU, ND, etc...), and only root for others when its in my team's interest, or my hatred for the other team exceeds all sense of reason (i.e. rooting for LUS and Arkansas the past two weekends).
Go competitive bantor.
Go Canes.
strong back and forth here by all...I'll just add that I wish UF and UM played every year...would make the rivalry that much more intense.
Go little baby jesus Timmy Tebow
No Go Chocolate Dorsey,
Go Gators.
Agree with WSG, an annual game would be great for the fans, and great for college football. That said, we won't play you guys until September 2013. At that point, I expect gaytor fans to be talking about their glory days back in the late 2000's, and Cane fans to counter-argue that those championships don't mean anything because they happened so long ago (when we were in our 20's), and are thus irrelevant, particularly when compared to our more recent three straight national championships from 2010-2012...
boobies!
Cane Fan,
Your reply to my comment this morning more than proves the point I was driving towards. Specifically, in this discussion you’ve exhibited key qualities (logic and fact based reasoning) that have resulted in substantive discourse. By no coincidence, you are a graduate of the University of Florida.
As to ridiculous and unfounded claims made by either side of the aisle at any given time in history, I will offer one more truth as I see it. The incident rate of baseless comments (at a time in history when every fact is to the contrary) is much higher for Cane fans than it is for Gator fans.
This is not a high horse position because I agree that the Gator fan base has a bad apple department - God knows I’ve been ashamed at witnessing their behavior many times over. (See toothless Alachua county residents) But, in my experience the Cane fan base (whether actual UM alum, MDCC dropouts and/or FIU wannabe’s) is comprised of way more knuckle draggers with amoeba-like cognitive reasoning skills than true Gator fans. Maybe Gomer can put up a poll and see what the rest of the Faithful opine on this subject.
I’m all for competitive banter and enjoy it very much when facts lead the discussion. This is not to say that I stray away from stooping to the lowest levels imaginable when engaged by lesser life forms. I enjoy that very much too.
Like I said previously, I won’t comment on or question your allegiance. Frankly, I haven’t made up my mind about how I feel about it. There are tons of circumstances where I can see it and others where it just doesn’t make any sense.
Lastly, I too agree with the idea of a yearly match-up. It would be good for recruiting on both sides and all but kill the “oh but we were a better team in X decade.” Instead, it would be “fuck you - we won this year so go cry until you beat us one of these years.” I’d vote for a neutral site like Orlando.
Go make it a real rivalry.
Go Gators.
If we did play them every year no need for a neutral site, even if we played in Miami Gator fans would outnumber Canes fans . I have not seen a more pathetic turnout for a storied college football program than that conistently seen from Canes fans. U should be ashamed of yourselves!
Personally, I'd prefer a home-and-home series. Not sure how neutral Orlando would be, or for that matter any place outside of Miami.
For what its worth, I also enjoy "stooping to the lowest levels imaginable when engaged by lesser life forms," as evidenced by my 500 received/sent text messages with someone whose name rhymes with Ray.
Go laugh at those who make absurd 0-4 predictions.
Go Canes.
Ray-jay qualifies as a lesser life form on any planet.
Sha, I believe now its MDC not MDCC.
Cane Fan, there is no "Y" in Gators,
unless of course you are implying we are all homosexuals...
which if you are friends with any of the Faithfuls
you'd find that to be clearly untrue...
Go hetero.
Go Gators.
I am a Gator fan and a man and have a ravenous appetite for unspeakable parts of the female body. Sure I might sport a thong every now and then, but only to get laughs. My love for titties has never faltered. Besides if any place is known as a hotbed of homosexual activity it would be the Miami hurricanes "super" playground here in Miami. So maybe we should call the Canes the "Canes in a Man's ASS, put there by another man - fags." I think it sounds kinda catchy?
A few of things.
First, no parts of the female body are unspeakable.
Second, there are way too many lawyers in the world.
Third, as much as it pains me to say it, the college football world is a better place with Miami doing better. I would love if UF and Miami played each other every year. Alas, the only way that'll happen is if Miami starts becoming a contender again and manages to win their conference. Perhaps that'll happen this year or the next. But until then, UM yay-sayers should shut their cock-holes and yield to the greater glory of the most dominant force in college football today.
And I agree with WSG in that no matter where the game is played, be it Miami, Gainesville, or Mars, infinitely more Gator fans than Canes fans would be there.
Why? Because for Gator fans it's all about the team, win or lose, home or away-- whereas Canes fans care about their team only when they win and only when they play close to Kendall. Otherwise, the Canes games are empty. Not that I blame them, no one wants to watch losers-- except maybe losers.
Case in point, the other day a kid in my school was talking about "how super-packed Landshark Stadium was when the Canes played the Sooners. There were like 60K people there!" Now-- if no more than 60K people showed up to a Gator home game against any team, then either a large thermonuclear weapon went off, or, everyone from the AD down will get the proverbial (and possibly the literal) axe. There are always no fewer than 85K fans in attendance for any Gator home game, whether they're winning or losing. That's being a fan. And Gator fans do it every Saturday in the fall.
More on this soon.
