Which Florida Fan Base can't you stand the most?
Overall, I still have to give it to Miami. I have never in my life seen a more fair-weathered, ignorant, and yet in-your-face, fanbase than theirs. When Miami is good, they come out of the cracks, but can't name more than two players on the team. That's pretty typical of South Florida sports overall, though. And those so-called "fans" will rub your nose in it when they beat you.
Don't get me wrong, though – they have some great fans. There just aren't enough of them.

I have to agree. 50 percent of cans fans down here have never even seen the campus they are all just bandwagoners and thats why when um isnt in the top 5 in the rankings they cant sell out a game because most of there fans dont have a real attachment to the school.Tebow said
I'm going to say The U, simply because most of their so called "fans" are only wearing their gear as a fashion statement. You know the type, the tough guy wanna be, over sized baggy clothes, driving around in either mom's big SUV or his very own 1993 Honda Civic with the big gaudy rims and loud exhaust. They are as bandwagon as they come when they get a big win, although it's been quite awhile for their program.

UF fans are arrogant. UCF fans are obnoxious. When we came down to your place, the worst fans I could find were some of our own, who I told off when I saw them. I am getting too old for this *^(%.

This is where FAU and FIU have a chance to distinguish themselves as significant South Florida fanbases.
FAU has a great team, FIU has a lot of students. In both cases, the majority of the people in the stands (when the attendance reaches a more enviable level in the next 10 years) will be people with legitimate attachments to the school.

Can you even call the "Thug U" crowd bandwagon fans? I mean, they wear the gear the same way a street gang wears their colors. To them, it's just a label, a brand name.

There are things about other fanbases that bother me, but no enough to elicit hatred….FIU fans believing that UM is their biggest rival based on two games and one huge brawl even though UM fans could care less on their end. USF's success would make any fanbase obnoxious, but the fans on their message board are alright and their focus is usually only on UCF. Jim Levitt seems like a joyless a-hole and he made some stupid comments but I'll only worry about him again in '10. UM, FSU, and UF fans are who they are and not going to change. At least FSU and UF fans are usually only people who go to those schools…..The vast majority of UM's fanbase are people who probably could not even find their campus with a map.
