Re: Which Florida Fan Base can't you stand the most?
FSU fans don't really bother me. I just don't feel the pressure from them right now, probably because FSU has been underperforming (i.e. not beating Florida, not contending for national championships) so the fans aren't as crazy-in-your-face as they could be.
FIU fans don't have much to talk about right now. Sportswise, not a lot happening, especially versus us (no offense to the FIU people) but academically they're doing well.
UCF fans… no comment. I'll say that there is a tremendous difference between the online UCF fans and the "real world" UCF students I've met (and gotten along with great)
USF had a great year. I completely understand them being so excited about their team and their future. I don't like their coach at all but I don't mind their fans; they were very respectful when they came on here. They showed tremendous character and that impressed me. They also gave us one of the most awesome football games of the year, so hats off to them.
I only see UM stuff every now and then… and I haven't heard anyone talk about Miami football in the last six months. So yeah, they don't bother me.

In the same time that my feeling on FSU were relaxing, I began to loathe UF. Everyone I ever knew in High School that went to UF came out with this arrogance that I cant get past. The UF-FAU game was fun, but mostly because we put the fear of God in them there in the 2nd quarter. It felt like the Vanderbilt game a few years back where Vandy, in a near empty Swamp, came so close to beating the Gators. My vote goes to UF.
FIU fans are nice enough, they dont have any arrogance thats for sure.
USF fans are fun because they are exactly what we want to become, jumping 20,000 in average attendance in one year and becoming contenders. They were also nice during the FAU-USF game.
UCF fans are like us in many respects except that they have an inferiority complex related to their lopsided rivalry with USF. They can't beat them so they look at us who are up and coming and both fear us and hate the idea that we might be better now or ever. They rely on rivals and its arbitrary star ratings to talk down to us while we quietly win the games we need to win. We dont need to recruit players on rivals with stars because Howard GIVES THEM STARS. He knows how to get guys that are motivated and hardworking players to outperform "stars". They also hate that we will soon have the newest on campus stadium in the US, and it might even have water fountains! That being said, the real life UCF fans are nice enough, its the zealots that show up online that are problematic.

I'll never take anything away from their success, they have an unreal athletic program but their fans are jerks.
