WTF? I understand that childhood loyalties are sometimes difficult to move beyond, but bro you play for Florida!!! While I find this very irritating from a current member of the football team, I think it's just plain stupid for a dude who's currently suspended following an arrest to make himself even more unlikeable to Gator fans.

My brother and I were both raised UT Vols (family of grads and fans from Tenn). We also both attended Florida, mostly because of the Bright Futures scholly. To this day, he is a die hard Vol fan despite attending Florida, and even the Vols in the family think that it's ridiculous. Thing is, HE DIDN'T PLAY FOR THE FOOTBALL TEAM, and it's still ridiculous that he roots for another school. SMH.

......but are they still gator fans while playing for FSU or Miami?

Thats the point

I'm obviously just making a joke, not asking for the guys head

however putting stuff like that out on social networks probably wouldn't get a good reaction from the die hards

Wasn't it Clinton Portis who said he grew up a Florida fan but chose to go to Miami because they offered him as a RB? Every year kids say one team has been their childhood favorite but pick a different team to sign with. I dont really see the big deal here.

Kid has maintained his childhood allegiance, and that's his business and whatever (though I still think it's stupid). My issue with it, is how does he possibly think that saying he will always be a Hurricane fan will endear him to the team he plays for now?

The difference between Udonis and AC is Udonis was/is only a UM football fan, which isn't the sport he played. I'm assuming AC is saying he's a UM football fan...which is the sport he plays.

F him. Kick him off the team already. Same opinion i had when Urban said his dream job was Notre Dame.

I have no issue with it, I played at ucf but have been and always will be a die hard uf fan. Now I realize the differences in competition level tradition etc... Even on the team a lot of guys cheered for their hometown team or one they always rooted for. But when it came to practicing, games, and overall unity you don't go through all the hard work together and not truly want to win on the team your on.

Also for the guy who said he cannot understand how his boy still roots for the Vols after he went to florida. Well the same thing happens in all of the state schools with canes, gators, and Noles going to their rivals school for college, but still loving the team they grew up watching. Whenever you go to tallahassee you see lots of gator license plates around town. Edit: Oh yeah Patrick Robinson had a tattoo of the hurricanes that he got while in high school.

That is what I was thinking.

We play Miami next year. Would he be cheering for our defense to stop Miami?

I like AC as a player and not trying to be critical, but man that seems weird.

Yup he moved to Jville at the age of 9 and played there his freshman and soph years before moving back to miami and winning states back to back years on those infamous miami high teams his jr and sr year.
