So I am walking down my hotel hallway to my room. Dude has a gator hat on we say hi; I am not wearing any Nole gear. Couldn't resist but after saying hi; I say by the way Go Noles. Instead of saying go gators or whatever he says Roll Tide. Found that interesting why not say go gators. I replied good luck Michigan. Just surprised by his roll tide comment. By the way he was a nice guy and we both smiled in our little talk.
 
They have to root for a team that has a chance to what they have no chance to do and thats win against us. Listening to Finbum this afternoon and some gator fan said they would be 12 and 0 then lose in semifinals to Ohio State. I almost drove of the road laughing.

Did he do a good job making your bed?
 
OP gets into more confrontations on a Monday than I get into in a decade.

Guess your idea of confrontation and mine is vastly different. 2 guys that like rival teams talking a little trash in a friendly way. I just found it odd he would say roll tide and not go gators. If I was wearing a FSU hat and someone said go gators to me I wouldn't say go blue or if a um fan said go U I wouldn't respond go arky state. I would support my team, not some team my rival plays.

Was just joshing, but in all fairness you did initiate the trash talk. I don't usually say anything if I see somebody wearing UF attire in a non-rivalry game setting.
 
Why even engage with an unknown gata? What is the likelihood of that engagement yielding anything remotely productive or enjoyable? When I see some clown wearing his gator costume, I summarily ignore him and quietly think to myself "poor bastard."

Eh just 2 guys both traveling on business who said hi as they approached in a hotel hallway. Maybe many of you walk around with your heads down never acknowledging other people. Based on the way the guy looked and his age I was pretty certain by saying go Noles we would not be rolling down the hallway trying to kill each other. Now had he been wearing a wife beater and jorts I probably would have just said hi and kept walking.

And more comparably, if the gators were playing Clemson I damn well wouldn't say go Tigers!

Hey, bro, don't try to turn this around into some kind of a "you (me) may be antisocial." I walk with my head held high and I acknowledge most folks. But not gatas. You started this sophomoric exchange with a gata idiot, and then didn't like the outcome. Sorry, this one is on you.

Well you are obviously taking a this whole thing way more serious than I am. I couldn't care less about the outcome. Just thought it was weird that rather than support your team you bring up another team your rival is playing. Just weird and an odd mindset to me. But if this thing continues to bother you I am sure their is some medication that can help.

It's all good. No worries. You started the thread, and I just chimed in. Have a blessed day.

let me just say that many people are the fan of X first, then secondarily whoever is playing X's biggest rival. I've had people say "go Y" when we had a big game coming up. Heck the UF twitter account even sent a message to ND "have a great weekend" back in 2015.

and I would DEFINITELY hope Clemson would beat UF if they played.
 
Ranger, about 3 years ago I asked the board if I should date a gator. The overwhelming response was no, even though I posted her picture and she was hot enough to meet LR standards. I ignored the advice, when I should have taken it.

Not much good comes from interacting with gators, with a few exceptions. Trouble is, you don't know who the exceptions will be, so you end up regretting it more than half the time. They may be friendly in the beginning, like the scorpion was to the frog. In they end, they are still gators. :);):p

I don't believe for a minute the LR would have passed on this hot chick based on what college they go to.

As a girlfriend with possibility for wife status? Absolutely, I don't think I could tolerate that long-term. For one night stand, sure why not? In fact that's the perfect time to try alternative pathways so that you demonstrate their only value to society.

This was the overwhelming response I got at the time.
