Honest answer.....I completely understand the narrative here. That story and those postcards are pretty disturbing. I would venture off to think 99.99% of people do not think of that when they chant this at football games, but i also dont doubt there are a couple active klansman not sporting their hoods at their games too. I'm just not sure where the end game is at here. What if somebody who had their house destroyed during a hurricane petitions to have our name changed?

The honesty is refreshing. I doubt the overwhelming majority of fans chanting it had no clue. I absolutely agree with that. Flip side is I also doubt that the institution itself came up with that chant by coincidence either. Im not an advocate for cancel culture. I appreciate the fact that you can recognize the disturbing history. We don't always have to agree but I glad we can have the conversation from a mutual place of respect and honesty.

The difference is Mullen is a upper tier coach and surrounds himself with successful assistants. His recruiting might be an issue but his on field coaching certainly isn't. They will have massive success regardless of recruiting failures because kids still want to play there. If either of the big 3 in Florida had Mullen as HC they would be having the same success.

He can be JJ but if they keep having this type of attrition, they are going to have major depth issues due to the new counter rules. You just can't get those spots back the next year anymore. Actually, I think its safe to say they are going to feel it for sure starting next year, and especially the year after. There will be more attrition in these classes. There always is.

LMAO we have been ranked top 5-10 in recruiting rankings every single year around this time before we **** down our leg during the season resulting in players decommitting left and right. They have a shot at winning the SEC East and are a legit top 10 team. We have talent but no one knows what we have with manny as our HC. If you guys want to go on record right now I'm willing to bet UF finishes with a better class than us. They always do and always have.

Also, we lost to them by one play last year, and when you consider attrition and transfers, we had a better recruiting "class" this year than they did. We just need to take that leap. The new coaches and a QB are hopefully what we need.

Been saying it for years, Gaytors are in purgatory with Mullen. 8-10 wins a year with no trophies to put in the case. The fans see UGA continuing to stockpile talent and pulling further away from them. UT is coming. And every year UF loses a few guys from the top of their recruiting class. The only question is how long does that delusional fan base accept 9-3/10-2 every year playing second fiddle in the East?

I said it when they hired him. He's a proven 8 win coach at Mississippi State. I figured he'd bump up to maybe a 9-10 win guy with the talent uptick at Ufail. The thing is, he couldn't attract big fish to Starksville and that was expected but his failure to secure top level talent at a school that has consistently attracted it (even with dud coaches) will be his glass ceiling. He'll field a generally good team almost every year but I don't know how long the gaytes will be cool with being the 4th or 5th best team in the SEC.

That's the thing though, my two most hated teams: Notre Dame and UF. But I recognize when a program is ahead of us in every facet. Understood though.

Quick question..what year did you graduate from UFAG....seems like no matter who post what you figure out a way to pump up your buddies...

It's tacky to have a thread titled "gator tears" when they not only beat us last year. But won b2b NY6 bowls, one in our own stadium and are supposed to have even more success this season. It's embarrassing.

He’s been warned as follows:

View attachment 119480

Now the question becomes what else to do with him in here, thread ban, worse??? Why do some of these tools insist on starting up in here?

@IndayArtHauz is the official mod of Gator Tears and can review the file and do as he/she pleases.
