You've obviously never dealt with Florida fans in mass.

Herbstreit was quoted as saying 'It's the vocal minority that make it rough. They probably represent 5 to 10% of the fan base but they are relentless.'"
It's sad, really, because it has to do with the dumbing down of life and the uncivilizing of society. I scarcely think that this type of behavior is unique of Tennessee fans, or Ohio State fans, or any others that you may name. College and high school sports should be put back in their place and people should be kind and considerate to each other. Root for your team, yes, but stop this rabid hatred, victory at all costs, no holds barred stuff.
Sure, and Meg Ryan should have married me when I telepathically asked her to, way back when.  |
You failed to mention where Herby moved to...…………...yep, that's right. Tennessee.
