For further proof, simply read a few of the responses from Gator fans on this page.

Keith, one down, one to go for the best QB in college football.

Texas has an unwarranted arrogance – where OU jerks have a tendency to be more direct. Which brings me to the Norman Transcript Heisman vote. Vote for McCoy – fine – but for heavens sake you should have kept those thoughts to yourself. Clay could have helped him on what it will be like to kick the MONSTER in Norman. Think about the Jack Link’s commercials with Bigfoot and the knuckleheads.

Gator fans are like Sooners fans; some are obnoxious, but not all. I ran into the same obnoxious fans eight years ago when OU played FSU. Every school has them. I have had to quit listening to the local sports talk shows. Some fans and media are just too arrogant. Mike Bianchi, a former Florida-Times Union (Jacksonville) writer who now lives in Tampa, I think, said on the radio today that Tebow will win the Heisman, win the BCS national championship game and go down as the greatest college football player in history. Now, I love Tebow, and he may do it all, but I just get tired of hearing it all. But, the Sooners have their share of the same kind of people. I read their posts on the DOK website every day.

HA HA…

Also Eric, Florida finally gets to play a real offense and please do not mention any team from the SEC as Georgia’s offense was highly over-rated not to mention the offenses in the SEC are horrific at best. Right it must be because the defenses are so great in the SEC…. ha ha, right!

Is there a reason why the defenses in the SEC actually improved when they started to play games in conference? (CHECK THE STATS yourself)

It couldn’t be because the offenses are horrible could it? Never to a SEC homer. Gator Bait, Tiger Bait you guys are pretty unique in the SEC.

19-9 vs. the SEC!

These guys are excellent athletes. And deserve respect off the field. On the field, call him whatever you want. These guys are there for recognition of their athletic achievements. Bradford did not sweat it. So Im not going to. Adds fuel to the OU fire. Hope Bradford gets a trifecta. Davey O’Brien, Heisman, National Championship Trophy. But I think he would be content with the former and the ladder.

Thanks for writing this. You are going to catch a lot of guff and crap from LSU and gator fans, but so what.

There was absolutely no reason for UF fans to pull this stunt at an awards ceremony. Show absolutely no class.

Me upset, hell no. I am now a more informed person that knows about the class of UF fans at the awards ceremony.

I may have worn all my Sooner gear at the game, but in the days leading up to the Sugar Bowl I found the perfect way to enjoy the wonderful atmosphere free of harrassment: I wore green. And had a ball!

I love my team, but I ain’t CRAZY.
