The Gators. I'm a younger UT fan (born in 86), but I've always had a deep-seated hatred for them.
It was really cemented when I went to the UT-UF game this year and sat in the UF section.
I hate Alabama too, but I respect the fact that their fanbase is at least passionate, travels well, and has tradition backing them. The Gators fanbase is composed almost entirely of bandwagon fans who have no allegiance to the team and were nowhere to be found during Meyer's last year and Muschamp's first.

You couldn't be more wrong. To suggest that a university with an enrollment of over 45,000 students, has a football fanbase "composed almost entirely of bandwagon fans who have no allegiance to the team" is nonsense.
UF sold out Florida Field in the 70s and 80s when we had nothing to cheer for...long before you were born. I was a freshman at UF in 1986, and I attended games back in the late 1970s when Wes Chandler and Cris Collinsworth played. Yes, I'm old.
As far as tradition goes, Tennessee was great before electricity and integration. Since then, they've been looking up at either Florida or Alabama, or in more recent times...both.
I understand why you hate Florida...really no different than my passion for hating UGA. But spare me the BS about UF's fan base being mostly bandwagon fans.
Have a nice day.![]()
