Is tomorrow the first time you will have ever been all in on rooting for the Gators?

[LegionnaireOfTheMiserable]

I don’t think I’ve ever unabashedly rooted for them. I believe this is the first time their winning could directly impact Tennessee in a positive way in all my years of watching. I think they beat Georgia in 03 to allow us to tie for the East, but Georgia wound up going to Atlanta over us anyway. This feels weird.

 

[17Vols]

My hatred of Kiffin isn’t far behind my hatred of UF, so I’m rooting for a meteor strike at halftime

 

[Vfl2407]

I often root for them against Georgia especially if it would help the Vols.

 

[overseasorange2]

Even against my will, if it helps TN.....Gator chomp!

 

[NighthawkVol]

I’ve rooted for them to beat Florida State in the past. And I’ve rooted for them to beat Georgia a couple times just because Georgia was the heavy favorite.

I recall rooting for them in 2021 against Alabama when they were a 2 pt conversion from pulling the huge upset and in that last SECCG against Bama before the wheels fell off for Mullen.

Why would you ever root for them to beat Florida State?

Why would you ever root for them to beat Florida State?

Back in the 90s. Was an SEC/ACC strength of conference/schedule thing.

I’ve changed my position on that since, though. I’d prefer a strong FSU to help keep Florida in check.

Admittedly I was rooting for them last weekend to improve our SOS. It was very odd and I felt very ashamed of myself.

We should all be hoping Ole Miss loses tomorrow. If you don’t, you’re basically saying that your hatred of Florida is greater than your love of the Vols.

 

[tobybeast]

No and No..... Piss on the Gators....

This! They lose and we win the last two, we are in the playoffs!

 

[MemphisVolFan1978]

Living over here in Memphis there a ton of Ole Miss fans. I pretty much always root for whoever is playing Ole Miss especially since Lane Kiffin became their coach. I hate it when they are playing Florida, Alabama or Georgia because I have to decide which team I despise the least. I will definitely be rooting for Florida tomorrow.

With this playoff race, I am rooting for teams i never dreamed of pulling for. I want to see an absolute woodshed game from OSU!

 

[ArmchairQB]

I feel like it’s completely okay to be pleased with a Florida win so long as no one goes and does the arm chomp thing. That’s just too far.

May god have mercy on any UT fans soul for doing that.

Although… if I’m ever in Jacksonville needing Florida to beat Georgia for us to jump them in the standings, I might chomp. But not repeatedly. Just once, leave the arms locked, and then start spinning and thrashing around violently. Like a gator. It’d be worth it to ask people “am I doing this right?”

 

[volfan102455]

I find myself rooting for any team to win that will result with chaos in the rankings associated with the teams above us - other than whomever is playing us.

With this expanded playoff it is like high school tie breakers and such at the end of the season where a host of combinations is available to decide who is 1, 2, 3 and 4.

 

[greenbacknative]

With Lagway back and their defense, the Gators could make it interesting....

 

[MAD]

Semantics

I won’t root for Florida, ever.
However, I will definitely be rooting for Ole Miss to lose.

Have you partaken in alcohol when doing this? Because if so you technically can't be held 100% responsible for your actions.

I occasionally hold my nose and pull for them if the result helps the Vols. Otherwise, no.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

No and No..... Piss on the Gators....

Even if it helps us get into the CFP instead of going to Tampa or Las Vegas?

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

I will do what must be done.

Watch them get cooked and raise the hate to an even higher level. I have more faith in Army beating ND
