Okay, so. Just because they lose two games against the toughest teams in their schedule, everyone's going, "I'm so not watching Florida football anymore." Seriously, what's up with that? They had good opponents. So what? They'll win their next games. Go Gators(:

If people are really saying "I'm not watching Florida football anymore" then they are not real fans. We played a great game Saturday and still have a shot at winning the SEC east. Our players are fun to watch, so I can't see any reason for giving up on the season. Considering how young the team is, I think we are doing great. Can't wait for next year. Go Gators!!
And just to respond to the gator chomp insult, I have to say it's a great thing for fans to do. Most teams don't really have a hand motion thing that people can associate with them.

Nothing. Yeah they lost two games in a row, but they really looked good against LSU and would have won that game if it had not been for a few 4th qtr mistakes. The Auburn game they should have won without a doubt, but they are a young team and they have learned from it. They should be able to win out the remainder of their schedule from here on out. That combined with a Tennesee loss would put them in the SEC championship game, and give them an oppurtunity to avenge their loss to LSU on a neutral field.
But I wouldn't worry about those two losses. Florida has a bright future ahead. They are very young, but also incredibly talented. This year was supposed to be a "rebuilding year" if you can say that. Just to give you an idea of how young the gators are there are only 5 starters on the entire team that are seniors.
Next year I fully expect them to be competing for another national title.

Nothing. The last few seasons had so much of this "Dynasty" crap going, that everyone started to believe you had to be undefeated every season to be any good. That has been exposed to have more to do with scheduling weak opponents than anything. I dont particularly care for Florida....but I sure wouldnt look forward to playing them. They are a good team, played LSU tough.....they are just another team that got caught by that parity thing that appears to be invading college ball this season. I like it. Florida will probably sweep the rest of their schedule.....but they should actually have built better character by having had to struggle some. This will make Tebow into one of the best QBs, just wait.
Football is a physical chess match. No matter how good you are, some one can figure out a working strategy, and win. And poll-position has nothing to do with it. If you can get the right individual mismatches, you can make a game plan that works against a single opponent. Just like in the pros. Seems like Jacksonville is kryptonite to the Steelers. Tuberville just seems to know how to play Florida and Meyers well.

There's nothing wrong with Tebow and the boys. They played a hard game like LSU played them at their home last year. Turnovers are game killers and this time it went LSU's way. Got a strong feeling that the Gators will be at home watching the SEC championship game this year cause, the Cocks are gonna win the Eastern Division

As a Dawg I hate to say it, but they'll be just fine. I still say they're 2nd best in the SEC, and they'll get to prove it.
The loss to Auburn puzzled me, but they rebounded from that and put up a good fight against LSU. 2 turnovers late is what did 'em in. They'll still run the table from here on out and win the SEC East. Tennessee will have to lose one SEC game, and they will. Florida-LSU in the SEC Championship game is gonna be one hell of a rematch!!!

First of all, who said that and second, they must be dumasses. I have heard no such comment and if I do I'll defend the Gators with all my might. They played a HELL of a game against us and I expect to see them finish strong.

They are a damn good team. Teams lose sometimes. Tebow is great. Florida should have beat LSU, and probably will win on a neutral field.

The Gators should never lose; they have better athletes than any other team they play. The problem is they are too full of themselves and got caught up in all the BS. Tebow is also very young, he does stupid sh*t.

The stupid gator chomp thing is highly obnoxious and annoying.
That's why I don't like them.
And a few other reasons as well.
