What if Florida had no rivals at all. I mean, its not going to happen but just think about it. What would be the point of sports? They would just be boring and time-wasting. Even though we hate rival teams such as: UGA, UT, LSU, SC, UK, Vandy, Auburn, FSU, and Miami, and even more so their fans and supporters, what would we be without our close rival "friends" [or enemies]? Or what would our rivals be without us? I think they would find relief in there being no UF. But, they're jealous (obviously); we're so good, we could beat them anyway on any day. I mean, really, take FSU for example. They're our only major in-state/out-of-conference rival (well, other than Miami). We would beat no other Florida ACC team until the time came to play Miami every 6 yrs, or ever how often we play the stupid team (and quite frankly, they've been a pain to beat).
Now, take LSU for another example. They're our only rivals from the SEC West that we play every yr. And Vandy, UT, UK, and SC are our rivals because they're in the SEC East with us. However, UGA is another story that I don't feel like discussing right now!
My point is: Even though we hate our rivals (and they hate us), aren't they critical in making sports fun and enjoyable? Dont we like our "rivals" even more than we think we do?!
