The South is a little different than the North. Here in the South, Football is not a game, it’s a religion.
We may swap in our wives from time to time, retire the ‘lucky’ fishing pole for a new one, or even trade in the ole pick em up. But, football fans are a generational type of thing. I’m in Georgia and thus a Dawg Fan. Floridagold lives in Florida, and is a misguided Gator fan. It’s a wonder we even talk to each other.
A lot of folks are looking for signs to the end of the world. I will give you one. The Christmas Floridagold and I exchange gifts would be a good sign the end is indeed near. When he sends me a pair of gator skin boots, and I send him a dozen Bulldog puppies (so he can feed his pet Gator), there will be Peace on Earth or something like that.
Course, he did point me to a BBQ place in Memphis once, so maybe there is hope for him. That ‘Good side’ you talked about. But this feud could last longer than the Hatfields & Mcoys.
But you are probably right, other than being a Gator fan, he is probably a decent guy. 🙂
