I guess if I had to pick a favorite rival it would be LSU.  

I remember waiting outside a restaurant in Gainesville 2 years ago.  We
were suddenly surrounded by a bunch of LSU fans.  I felt a little
uneasy, then one of them said something like "We're gonna kill you".  I
said something like, "I just hope we don't humiliate you too much
tomorrow".  They all laughed and we were like family after that.  They
were offering to buy us drinks, I learned way more than I ever wanted to
know about each one's family, and the whole evening was just a lot of
fun.  

I'm sure LSU has their idiots, just like we do, but they're harder to
find for me.

Rivalry or big game?



By Robbie Andreu
Gainesville Sun sports writer

2. Mutual respect

Would UF fans pull for Georgia or Tennessee or FSU in a national title
game? Probably not. But they seemed to be pulling hard for the Tigers in
their big win over Ohio State last January, just like the LSU fans
adopted UF for its win over the Buckeyes the previous year. It's all
about SEC pride, I'd say.

3. Where's the hate?

The fans from both schools get along OK for the most part. There have
been no obvious problems in the stands or around the stadium. They
probably don't care for each other on game day (or the week leading up
to the game), but the dislike seems to quickly fade after the final
whistle.
