Bama without a doubt is a rivalry with greater tradition. But to me it's always been more of a family rivalry...there's at least always been a certain amount of begrudging respect among enemies. Florida I just plain hate, I hate their jort wearing zero class fans, I hate their culture, I hate their stadium...F em....
But I look forward more to a big Alabama game... they are more of a dignified nemesis....a worthy adversary. I hate Alabama on that third Saturday in October worse then anyone, but when the game is over i like them okay again.....I respect their tradition, and their fans.
Yes Florida has had a great teams and one of the greatest SEC coaches for some time under Spurrier, but the fans themselves in Gainsville are just really the lowest class of the SEC. It's the trailer-park.
