Its ironic that the fact that 'bama seems so weak this year is having an effect on this. Most Gator fans I talk to remember the licking we took last year, but they aren't mad at 'bama. To the contrary, the way we folded like a cheap tent in that game symbolized everything wrong with the program for the last 5 years -- no toughness. We like to think that has changed.
This year, we feel like UF is better than 'bama. I would venture to say that most 'bama fans expect that 'bama will lose this Saturday. And so if the teams hold true to form and Florida wins, I really think most Florida fans don't feel a need to rub it in. We've got other things on our mind.
But its the SEC. And its a traditionally strong team. And we need this win.
Go ye Mighty Gators!!
