Welp, here's the first Gaytor flip prediction I've seen. Do we want Josiah Pierre? This was predicted before the weekend. Did he flip?

Below are the best UF WRs of all-time (as of 2012, stolen from Alligator Alley).

By the way, Wes Chandler was pretty darn good for the Air Coryell offense of the San Diego Chargers. SD traded for Chandler once they got rid of one of my all-time favorites, John Jefferson, after a contact dispute.

Ricky Nattiel was one of the Three Amigos with the Denver Broncos early in Elway's career, but Nattiel only played 6 seasons in Denver (I can't remember if it was injuries that cut things short).

A couple of the Spurrier WRs had a few good years at Tampa Bay.

And Collinsworth. He's the only truly great NFL player on that entire list.

When the Gators won their title in '08 with Heart Attack, they had the highest arrest record in the country. The highest.

Our 80's teams never even got close to the trouble Urbans teams had. JJ and Schnelly wouldn't stand for it.

Plus, Aaron Hernandez. You know, the murderer?

So, as far as I am concerned, the Florida Gators are permanently disqualified from talking about 'ThugU'. If anyone is ThugU, its them.

As for throwing 'Shapiro' out there, well, the Gators had Charley Pell AND Galen Hall. So much for speaking out of moral superioriry. Unlike Shapiro, who was a rogue booster, Pell and Hall were coaches.

UF's football history is a history of failure. Both coaches that won an NC for them, they ran out of town. Their players have essentially been busts in the NFL except Emmitt Smith. The quality QB's that fell into their lap, such as Cam Newton and Grier, transferred.

They have more money, a bigger alumni, a public school and they beat us once in 30 years.

They gave up 28 points in a quarter and a half to us in 2003, in the worst choke I have ever seen, by a quarterback we took from them.

They lost to Al Golden, the worst modern coach we've ever had.

The Gators are a legacy of a lolcow. Other than RB, there is no position a Gator player played better than a Miami player.

**** them. I will be in Orlando in 2019 personally to watch them suffer. And I will be laughing in the faces of Gator fans as it happens.

Those ******** **** me off so much.

"FSU is the biggest rival."

- Yeah 'cause you stopped playing us, chicken****.

"I hope FSU beats Miami so we can win the Florida Cup!"

-There is no Florida Cup. Because you stopped playing us. You don't hear us spewing that nonsense just because you're scared to play us.

"Miami is irrelevant. We dont NEED to play them."

-Yeah, the reason you stopped playing us was PRECISELY for that reason.

"Miami fans arent real fans, most of the people who root for them didn't even go to the school, and they never show up!"

-**** you, and tell that to Notre Dame

Sorry XD Its just everytime I hear from them and hear about them I burst into flames. They act like they are too good to be in the same room with us.

At least with FSU, there is a mutual understanding. Yes, we hate each other, but at there is a respect that they are a worthy enemy.

Wasnt there an FSU player that was quoted saying FSU vs Miami is a real rivalry, and the Gators are a joke?

FSU isnt a worthy enemy. They are a fraudulent program who rode our coat tails to relevance.

That's a true statement so I'd assume it was a Miami player who said it.
