Welcome, Lynn. We have had fans from other schools stop by from time to
time, and for the most part, they have been respectful of the fact that this
is list is as "gator" as it gets. A lot of us have "together" here since '89
('94 for me), and we have a rep for being "rabid" but polite. You will never
be attacked here for simply being "the enemy", but it can get uncomfortable
for those who come in here bashing the gators.
For the record, Brian is a longtime respected member here and to my
knowledge has received no "chastising". He has done a great job of
describing you as a great guy who only has one shortcoming, and that is that
you are a sooner. ;-)
We have a guy on here that is an Arkansas fan who discusses team strengths,
coaching philosophies, and things like that with us in regards to his team.
Are you willing to do that as well? For example, do you REALLY believe you
have faced a defense like ours? We've seen your score prediction, but I'm a
little confused as to how you're going to score 48 on us. I think the score
will be much closer (and lower) than that, with the gators winning, of
course. :-)
Randy
