Although I admit I wished they also adopted Hatchet’s “Gator Country”.

I like it as well. Consider it stolen.

I hate to admit it, but I would use a sharpie to put that on FSU bumper stickers when I lived in Jacksonville. But only on my friend's cars.

Q. Why did FSU go to a no huddle offense?
A. Courts ruled a huddle was a parole violation

Q. Why do Seminoles do this? (Imagine the tomahawk chop)
A. This is too complicated for them. (Imagine the Gator Chomp)

Don’t forget Florida Man wearing Jorts, mullet, faded #15 Tim Tebow or #7 Danny Wuerffel Jersey, smoking Pall Malls and drinking Natty Ice, doing the Gator chomp while getting their asses kicked by Georgia again, watching Dan Mullen grinning because it doesn’t matter if he wins or loses, because he’s making $7 million a year and his wife can go shop in Orlando to stay away from the crazies.

Ah yes, Georgia...home of the truly classy.
I worked the World’s Largest Cocktail Party in Jax and saw your classy people up close.

How many championships do you guys have?

Nice!

I went to a game at FSU before I went to school at UF.
Tallahassee is a dump. I didn’t care for FAMU either...

For some reason they just keep sending it. I guess I will have to email them to stop.

The mailing list is part of what they base their advertising rates on. With the drop in magazine sales, they do their best not to drop anyone.
