About 24 hours in, this poll actually has gone pretty much exactly how I expected.
One thing I didn't expect is the amount of old ***** on this board. Wow. Of the 150 votes so far, 81 are from corpses 40 and up (54%). Didn't expect that.
(Issa joke....I'm 41)
But so far, 119 of the 150 votes cast (79%) are for the pure hatred of the cousin****ers in Canesville. To me, that's always the right answer. And I expected most of the old heads would feel the same way as I do...sure enough, of the 81 Matlock-lovers who voted, 69 of them voted for the gator. 85% of the senior citizens hate the gator more than fsu. Pretty much exactly what I expected. The younger dudes really haven't been exposed to our DNA sharing little brothers in Ocala-north. We stopped playing the gator regularly in the late 80s, so it makes sense that younger cats would be more anti-FSU.
Will be interesting to see how it continues to play out.
Also, there's no wrong answer to this poll, obviously. Either one is perfectly fine to hate. But one thing I need to clear up that is BLATANTLY wrong that I've seen on the boards over the years, and again recently. We NEVER, EVER, EVER want either of these used diaper programs to be good. Ever. In any capacity. That is just absolutely egregious. "I want fsu to be good when we beat them". ****. That. That is the wrong answer. The right answer is you want FSU to be 1-11 every year and you want the gator to be 0-12. If only they could still tie, but alas, someone has to win. Under no circumstance, for any reason, do you ever want any of them to even have a microcosm of what could even be perceived as success. We want to be the hammer, we want them to be the nail. Always. Forever.
