We all have to vote for Rubio now

[BringBackBonner]

The man simply speaks the truth...

"Look, I don’t have anything against Florida State. I think there has to be a school where people who can’t get into Florida can go to college."

The RRT of LBS sufferers will be here soon....

Telling it like it is. I approve this message.

 

[danoleman]

Wonder who he was pulling for when he attended the likes of Tarkio College and Santa Fe College?? Lmao! He's polling at what now?? 2%??

 

[GatorTheo]

I'm not a huge fan of Rubio but he makes a great point. We need to have the FAMUs, UCFs and FSUs to educate the lesser people.

 

[METSWIN]

But does Rubio have a leg to stand on here? After transferring in from Sante Fe Community College, Rubio graduated with a degree in political science from Florida. Florida's political science program ranks 50th in the country. That's 10 spots behind where the Florida State political science program ranks according to this US News & World Report survey.

Rubio also graduated from Miami's School of Law. According to this US News & World Report survey Miami's law school comes in at No. 63 in the country. That's 13 spots behind where the Florida State law school ranks.

The fact that he trolled you is HILARIOUS.

Are you actually trying to disprove a "zinger"?

It's pretty well known UF is IN GENERAL more difficult to get into than FSU. Get over it.

 

[METSWIN]

It might actually be the most brilliant thing he has ever said. I get the zinger...and it is good. Voting for Trump will be a better zinger though.

Little brothers right on cue!

 

[METSWIN]

I'll take being little brother all day long. It's good owning the state.

 

[djegators]

I already gave you the approval you seek yesterday, now you need more? You got the LBS bad man!

 

[METSWIN]

Seeking approval would mean there was a window of uncertainty that we weren't of value. I know we are as we are state champs so your approval offer was voluntary on your part. If you want to kiss the ring that is fine but it isn't necessary.

 

[METSWIN]

Now quit hijacking a thread about Rubio.

 

[djegators]

Oh its about Rubio....he knows all about little brother, that's why he tweaked them so royally.

“He’s a nice kid,” said FSU President John Thrasher, who served with Rubio in Florida legislature. “I’m sure he’s frustrated by his low standing in the polls, which I believe could be a reflection of where he got his education.”

 

[travnole]

Well played Thrasher.

 

[More Kirk Less Spock]

I've never seen a group of people so bent on trying to build themselves up by dragging others down. You should really do some soul searching and figure out what has you so frustrated.

Being President at fsu is like being a Special Olympics gold medal winner.

 

[maw5682]

I don't have a problem with

Sorry man but that's a bad metaphor, very tasteless imo.

Those who participate in and support the Special Olympics are some of the most amazing people you'll ever meet. To have a laugh at their expense (even in your unceasing efforts to attack another university) is distasteful.

 

[bradleygator]

More Kirk: I find making fun of the Special Olympics distasteful.

What about raping women or beating them?

More Kirk: Oh that's cool.

That's enough for me to destroy the comparison to a f$u president....

Anytime Thrasher's name comes up, I remember this post from when Florida was looking for a President;


"So I got my letter from the UFAA regarding the President search, and I noticed something strange.

None of the finalists for President are really old Republican politicians from Florida.

This concerns me greatly, as I believe it will hinder UF's ability to raise funds. After all, that is a major advantage when you hire a President who has been in a safe Republican district in Florida for decades, because you know THAT GUY will be a major fund-raiser.

The list of 3 finalists is just FULL of guys with academic credentials, what with being Provosts and Presidents at other schools. I mean, these guys may make great "Presidents" of UF, but I'll bet they won't be able to raise funds like a 70 year old Republican who has never held a national office, but has spent decades in the Florida House and Senate.

This is embarrassing. How can we possibly hire the best President when there are no politicians on the list of finalists?"

Tell us again; why are you here?

 

[PacoGator19]

Rubio was just doing a little math, UF grads living in Florida far outnumber FSU grads and have a lot more voting power and a lot more political clout.

 

[GatorGray]

From his FB account:

My FSU staffers vandalized my office door before I arrived this morning with references to historical aberrations in ‪#‎UFvsFSU‬.

Maybe they forgot -- All Time Series: University of Florida 32 wins, Florida State University 23.

lol...that's great!

shut up kid

 

[GatorTheo]

Thrasher later said the banter is all in good fun.

"I think Marco's a very gifted young man, no question about it. But, our folks took a little bit of exception to what he had to say," Thrasher said. You know, maybe they are over sensitized about the Florida/FSU relationship over so many years. So, I had to respond back and I hope he takes it in the spirit in which it was given."

MAYBE FSU fans are oversensitized?

 

[LoudounGator]

What next, ice is cold?

Say it ain't so.

It's funny how Thrasher blasts Rubio for being critical of FSU, then Thrasher attempts to insult UF.

That's like saying, "It's really classless to make fun of someone's special needs child. By the way, your son is a retard."

Parents of retards are this country's most valuable resource. The insensitivity reflected in this post turns my stomach and makes me want to crawl under my desk and weep.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Any Nole that is seriously bent over Rubio's comment nned to butch the hell hell up and stop being such a PC beta wuss.

If it's not true, why get upset?

When a General that graduated from Westpoint dogs on the Naval Academy, do sailors that graduated from Annapolis start crying like little bitches?

Well, I am one of your described "valuable resources" and I don't weep. I just understood what he was saying. Your wording, however....

I see Rubio's little helpers were compelled to act.

 

[PacoGator19]

Last night on the debate they asked each candidate what they would like their "moniker" to be to the Secret Service since the presidents all get a nickname by the SS, Rubio said he would want his to be "Gator". He just got my vote!
