I just want to address Gaytor Dude's stupidity.
By his Gaytor Mathz, Auburn was the #2 rivalry for the Gaytors, and then dropped to #5 when the Gaytors dropped Miami. Makes no sense at all, but heeeeey, how can I possibly argue. HE KNOWS.
Now, this guy wants to claim that the Miami-Florida football rivalry, played annually from 1938 to 1987 (with one game skipped during WWII), was barely a top 5 rivalry for the Gaytors. And that UGa, Auburn, LSU, and Tennessee were "bigger rivals".
Now UGa I don't dispute.
Auburn has been a regular annual conference opponent.
As for LSU and Tennessee being "rivals" of Florida prior to the Gaytors dropping Miami, that is complete and utter bullsh!te, invented by some young Gaytor fan who evaluates everything before the 1980s with their "2000s glasses" firmly on face.
LSU started playing Florida annually in 1971. At the point where Miami had played Florida for 50 consecutive years (with just one WWII cancellation), LSU had played Florida, on an annual basis, fewer than 20 times. And it's even worse for Tennessee, they didn't start playing Florida on an annual basis UNTIL 1990. Which is AFTER the Gaytors dropped Miami. So this idiot Gaytor fan is trying to convince us that TENNESSEE was a bigger rivalry game for the Gaytors than Miami PRE-1988. When Tennessee had played Florida all of 19 times over the preceding 70 years.
At the end of the day, the Gaytors are acting like their CONFERENCE SCHEDULE creates bigger rivalries than a 50-year annual in-state series.
Bullcrap.
