Can anybody outside of Gainesville stomach this? Just in case a reminder is needed, let’s recap the past three seasons of the two college sports that people actually care about:
- 2006
NCAA basketball champions: Florida Gators
NCAA football champions: Florida Gators - 2007
NCAA basketball champions: Florida Gators
NCAA football champions: LSU Tigers - 2008
NCAA basketball champions: Kansas Jayhawks
NCAA football champions: Florida Gators
Not only did they become the first-ever school to hold both the NCAA football and basketball championships at the same time, but they’ve also held back-to-back basketball titles, and 2-out-of-3 football titles.
Florida is also one of the top 50 schools in the country, the (disputed) top party school in the country, and it’s got some of the hottest coeds, too.
Enough is enough.
And yet, who can dislike them? Who wouldn’t want their school to achieve similar success (and a similar reputation)? In a weird way, the fact that their colors are blue and orange even makes their success hurt a little extra for an Illinois fan.
Bully for you, Gators. My hatred is spawned by envy.
