OMG...gator fans don't want to interact with us...

[Central Floridave]

I've had a complete shutdown of any of my gator friends (even family) or anyone else I see who displays gator gear the past couple days. They can't talk about this game.

Something about Diapers...er Niapers, or something...Gators will beat UCF by 50 points...blah blah blah...

Anyone else have fair-weather gator friends or family that will bite back? What I find is they crumble when you start talking about this game.

 

[SimpleJack53]

Well our team is still beat up. Theirs is too. It will be fun to watch. Almost raw talent against raw talent.

 

[UCFhonors]

Yes I have noticed gaytor fans want to act like this game isn't happening. And that UCFact is glorious.

I UCFeel they are already making excuses.

F¥€k those jort wearing douchebags.

 

[Central Floridave]

OMG, I've been trolling my many gator fans on facebook and they delete my comments.

WEAK SAUCE... I'm sure if the gators win I'll get it back tenfold, but geezus A kris-kringle...they are weak kneed fans of their football team. I got a "Didn't George O'leary lie on his resume' and get fired from notre dame' response... I'm like wha?

Funny how they can dish it out with FSU and Georgia fans but when UCF comes after them they crumble. Just my experience though. Hope we win tomorrow!

Or, WE WILL NEVER HEAR THE END OF IT !

 

[Central Floridave]

Just made this up. Someone do the next stanza.

Twas the night before Gasparilla Bowl
When all through social media
Not a person was smack talking, not even a gator
The players have opted out and coaches fired
In hopes they don't get injured and make it to the NFL

The fans were nestled in their Black & Gold, and Orange & Blue
While visions of Florida football champions danced in their heads;
And Gus Malzhan in his visor so tight, may throw it down with Spurrier's might
to figure out how to beat the Mighty Gators coached by Who?

 

[Knight_Classes_begin_7pm]

All Gators I talk to think we are going to beat them. Weird.

Dave not much rhyming in here

I only dedicated two minutes on typing that up. Not my best work, but just trying to stir the pot. I'm really surprised on the lack of smack on this game. I really had a gator fan delete a fb comment I made that he may need to pick up tissues on the way to the game for afterwards.

I guess we will have to wait until after the game for the smack talk. Basically the gator media are saying that they will never hear the end of it if gators lose. But, methinks WE will never hear the end of it if Gators win.

Dave……you need to up your game. Stay out of dive bars and mix in the occasional squid lips or Grills.

 

[Central Floridave]

Dive bars are funner and typically have better food than squids/grills. But thanks for the advice!

"If you are a Gators fan, you better hope your team plays better and finds a way to win.

Otherwise, UCF will add “2021 State Champion” to their list of accolades and ammunition."

Gasparilla Bowl matters to fans, even if UCF-Florida isn’t a rivalry … yet

UCF talks a lot (too much?) about being in the state's Big Four. Florida wants to show it's always the biggest, baddest brother.

It's difficult to bearrogant when there is so many unknown

Is this firm_Bizzle?

 

[Central Floridave]

There are a lot of unknowns in this game. Nobody knows how it is going to go. That is why it is fun. We have a chance, they have a chance. Which surprises me as gators are usually super arrogant. Not this time I'm finding.

from article that predicts a UCF win:
This game is one of the biggest games in UCF history. This is a chance for them to validate all of that “2017 National Champions” and “Power Six conference” stuff. Yes, this Florida team is a shell of what it was at the beginning of the year, but that’s not going to stop UCF from celebrating like they just won the Super Bowl if they beat them.

It is the last Friday before the holiday break begins, with five minutes to go until dismissal. The teacher asks her fifth-graders, "What are you looking forward to most about winter break?"

Hands shoot into the air.

One boy says visiting his grandma. A girl says she is going on a cruise with cousins. Then it is time for a boy in the back of the room to answer.

"I'm going to the Gasparilla Bowl between UCF and UF!"

Pandemonium ensues, as the students scream wildly about the game. Another girl chimes in and says she is going with her grandparents, but it might be weird because she is a UCF fan and they are Gators fans.

From online to on the field: UCF, Florida and the chance to make a statement

In a "rivalry" based on social media more than anything on the field, the Knights look for respect and the Gators try to put "little brother" in his place.

[ucfjosh2000]

They have mostly wanted to avoid the subject and when I bring it up they aren’t excited to talk about it. You know how when your favorite team has a bad year, you kinda stop caring/paying attention to it, that’s exactly where they’re at right now. Gotta being the energy as fans and take advantage of this opportunity.
Turn the 2 for 1 into a 2 for 2 series!

Just yanking your chain bro. You go where the music is good, the drinks are cheap and the people are fun. I agree with you that ain’t Grills or squid lips (where they keep rotating the same bands) and the drinks aren’t cheap.

This one made me laugh out loud from the article:

The fan bases took sides. Florida fans screamed, "If you are sooo good, why are YOU now ducking US!" UCF fans screamed back, "STOP TREATING US LIKE WE'RE USF!"

 

[Central Floridave]

So, I finally get a few 'Congrats' from 3 of my gator friends thru text.

My one Auburn Co-worker texted me with 2 minutes to go, "No Lead is safe with Gus."

What a great game last night. Just made it back to the East Coast from Tampa. Tampa Traffic sucks.
