Now this is what you want to see in your rivalries!
Courtesy of a weather delay, Saturday night’s College World Series game between Texas A&M and Florida got off to a late start. Well, in the process of this, way too much free time got created for fans as they were waiting for things to kick off (with alcohol, mind you), and it resulted in a couple of Texas A&M supporters getting kicked out of the ballpark. Things didn’t get started until 10:15 p.m. CT, and with some fans already being drunk, it didn’t take very long for things to get tense.
In the second inning, the Aggies were holding a 1-0 lead, but stealing the spotlight during that particular time was an argument that popped off between A&M fans and the Gators dugout. According to one social media post, Texas A&M fans shot heckles at Florida head coach Kevin O’Sullivan, which sparked up his assistant coaches to fire back some words.
Just a good ol’ fashioned SEC rivalry, boys!
Gator Ping!..................
I love that expression. I don’t get to use it often enough!

Hollering is Hell breaking loose? Yawn.
The fans may be a different story.
Go Gators!
How many Football, Basketball, Baseball titles does A&M have?
Idiots. Properly ejected ... and hopefully sent back to College Station.
What they were hollering almost made hell break loose. Security got to them before the bench could.
Only 3 in football. None in baseball or basketball. But apparently they’re good at playing horsey and running really fast.

That is a true statement, at least fron what I’ve observed.
Only Golf exceeds Baseball as a civilized sport. But yes, the fans can present a different story. I recall one or two times when somebody got beat up after a San Francisco Giants game. This one fellow got attacked in the parking lot by two guts wearing the colors of the losing team. He was in a coma for weeks. Still alive, but can’t work outside the home anymore.
Someone once told me that, of the four major pro sports, baseball players are the most conservative (on average, of course), followed closely by hockey. Football and basketball are on the far opposite side of the political spectrum.
“Baseball is generally the tamest and most well behaved of all major sports...”
Hockey aside.....you need me to tell you why that is?
All moot now my friend.....UF and FSU are both on the brink of TWO AND BARBEQUE! LOL!
Impressive, but no Men’s basketball titles.
As long as FSU doesn’t win. It’s a miracle Florida even made it there, as they were 1 game over .500 in the regular season.
Tennessee an A&M in the final likely.
