Five years ago, I could not drive to work without seeing a half dozen gator head decals and plates. I barely see any now. I know plenty of bandwagon Gator fans who suddenly became more interested in the NFL after the Sugar Bowl of the 2012 season.Originally posted by PacoGator19:
It's the same old story, most 'noles are fair-weather bandwagoners, watch all the 'nole hats, tshirts, polos, etc. suddenly diasappear into the closet, while the Gators will continue to wear their colors in all kinds of weather
Well for my own self, I have still been going to all of the home games each and every year, and I still have my 1996 national championship bumper sticker on the bumper of my truck. Not once in 18 years have I felt embarrassed to have that or the gator stickers in my rear window.Originally posted by Uniformed_ReRe:

I feel the same. I would assume that anyone still posting regularly on a Gator board after the last couple of seasons is a low desertion risk.Originally posted by grommit:

For some of us though, it's not all about just the win-loss record from the football team.
Did you ever have any throws as forced as that post?Originally posted by Weil Hall QB:

Does it have holes in it like an average college defense?
Does a skrong wind cause it to turnover?
When it pops open does the rain overshoot it?
If you were in a fight, would you use to "beat ourself" or the other guy?
When you're not using it, do you forecably stick it somewher
I've said this before, this is very important distinction. Thanks for reminding us.Originally posted by grommit:

Some of us graduate, get advanced degrees and hold down steady jobs.Originally posted by PacoGator19:
