You guys just don’t like getting rained on, do you?
The weather has taken a turn for the worst and the dark clouds have opened up. But instead of using an umbrella to combat it, most of you just want to stay inside and complain. After a couple years of sunny weather, you are spoiled.
This is the sad state of the Gator Nation, which instead is looking like a nation of fair-weather fans this season.
Beat down at Alabama — saw it coming.
A close loss to LSU — offensive coordinator Steve Addazio should be fired.
Losing to Mississippi State on homecoming — time to reboot firecoachmeyer.com.
Things have gotten ugly in Gainesville and the country is calling fans out. On Wednesday’s edition of “Pardon the Interruption,” host Tony Kornheiser referred to Gators fans who want Meyer out of town as “morons.”
Now I know there is only a small percentage that want the UF coach fired. But there are quite a few of you who have given up on this team already. That’s not what being a fan is about.
Three losses in a row is bad and I’m not here to defend the Gators’ boring style of play. But I do know that Florida fans don’t show up to men’s basketball games when the team is bad, and they usually don’t attend baseball or women’s basketball games unless it’s the postseason.
Now the football team has lost three straight regular-season games for the first time since 1999 and fans are mocking the offensive players and calling for coaches to be fired.
And if that isn’t enough, Florida-Georgia tickets did not sell out until a day after they went on sale. Those same tickets were gone within 10 minutes last year.
Quite frankly, the UF fan base is overrated.
This remains hidden behind the aura of The Swamp and the success the program has experienced in the past decade. But take away all of the championships and Gators fans wouldn’t have a good reputation.
Even UCF fans can do what you do — support a team that wins.
What makes you different than other fan bases?
Before the fourth quarter, don’t you sing “In all kinds of weather, we’ll all stick together”?
That sounds like one of the biggest lies I’ve ever heard.
