Fanblogs.com: Gator Hate and Facebook Fans

  • gatorhippy · 6 months ago
    I'm betting that at least 29,000 of those memebrs of the Wolv-Riguez haters are Acorn fans...

    And the 27,000 Acorn haters are Wolv-Riguez fans...

    No, no. These numbers come from actual FAN pages, not HATER pages.

    Really surprised at Clemson fans. Joe, you have any pull in Hartwell?
  • Clemson_Joe · 6 months ago
    I personally refuse to use Facebook. I understand why so many people like it, and I can respect that, but I just have no use for it.

    I think most Clemson fans use Tigernet, TigerIllustrated (rivals), or CUTigers (scout). All of the other fans that I speak with mention these 3 sites, but really there is no mention of anything else.

    What would be the benefit of joining the page if you use Facebook? Is there discussion about the teams on the pages, or is it basically just a symbol to add to your page?
  • gatorhippy · 6 months ago
    Often there's discussion on such pages but nothing in depth or like minded like you'd get here or at the other sites you mentioned...

    And there's not going to be a symbol from the "group" but there is more than likely an application that could be added to a FB page...
  • War_Eagle_Atlanta · 6 months ago
    There is not one SCINTILLA of discussion on these pages. You just subscribe and leave. Kind of like a NRA membership, but you don't get the magazine...

    Hoo-rah, NRA!

    I'm scared of Facebook. Every time I play it, my nose ends up bleeding and my friends laugh at me...
  • gatorhippy · 6 months ago
    Not sure which is worse...

    The fact that you haven't caught on...

    Or the fact you continue to play given the chronic nosebleeds...

    Hey, I've only fallen for the "if you're hand is bigger than your face..." thing once. :)
  • 1Tomcat · 6 months ago
    Regan- overcome your fears- Do you have phobias about new things?-LOL- Your true friends shouldn't laugh at ya, now they could laugh at the Vols new coach- I read some more and this guy and he dosn't know when to stop-Spurrier,Meyer and Saban have all won National Championships this guy hasn't even coached a single game as a HC in the league. What is goning to happen after the season starts and the Vols drop a few, He's libel to get the #1 whining award
    at http://www.ncaafootball.com there are 12 main articles 3 have to do with Kiffin running off at the mouth
  • Regan · 5 months ago
    No, but I have been accused of that more than once. :)

    TBH, I guess I am a fairly low-tech guy. I far prefer dealing with people in person than 'online networking communities', and for now, at least, that's still possible! As far as change in CFB goes, the only new thing I oppose outright is true playoffs.

    All I can say about Kiffin right now is that I hope the guy can win as much has he can talk. I am downright confused by what's going on in Knoxville...
  • 1Tomcat · 5 months ago
    Its all good man-Maybe this guy-Kiffin is just trying to stir up publicity for his program. I saw several short film clips about the coach on espn and an interview with Peyton Manning.
    I'm afraid that he will have his hands full the first couple of years Alabama & Ole Miss are real tough. Arkansas,LSU and Auburn should all be better than last year.

    Facebook was a great site until they opened it up to everyone. It was a great social site for someone that you went to school with. Once my parents friend-requested me it all went downhill. Soon it will be infested with porn and garbage just like myspace. All worthless. Nothing will ever be as bad as twitter, I have no interest in letting people know when I’m taking a dump or knowing when they are going number 2...stupid ass site.
  • Clemson_Joe · 5 months ago
    I truly don't get twitter. I would love for someone to explain it to me.

    The only thing alluring about twitter is that I could somehow convince people to pay attention to my every move as if they were all my lieges. How subordinating it truly is.
  • Ben Prather · 5 months ago
    From what I see twitter is like a customizable ticker tape that you can opt to sent messages down the wire, if you wish.

    Texas is actually 13,603..
    I just forgot to vote....
  • War_Eagle_Atlanta · 6 months ago
    I'm going to check and see if you subscribe to that page...
  • 1Tomcat · 6 months ago
    I actually thought Texas would be close to the top of hated teams with Aggies,Razorbacks and Sooners
  • OU_Ron · 6 months ago
    I think if your teams name is on that list, they must be pretty good...
  • gatorhippy · 6 months ago
    Tommy, those are fan pages WEAtl listed...

    Not hater pages...
  • 1Tomcat · 6 months ago
    Ya I figured it out GH- Ron is right, after I signed up 13,603
    Given the Horns old big time rivals, I'm kinda surprized that some Aggie hasn't started a Texas-hater page
  • gatorhippy · 6 months ago
    That's what I was sayin' below...

    I couldn't find any other hater pages...

    How 'bout you?
  • gatorhippy · 6 months ago
    After a quick search I can't seem to find any other "hater" pages for other CFB squads...

    WEAtl?
  • TheMayor · 6 months ago
    I can name 1,900 people that hate Southern Cal....
  • 1Tomcat · 6 months ago
    Shoot- I guess so Mr Mayor
    How about the College Station-Bryan Metro area known as Aggieland
    pop 203,371 the majority hate Texas-I'm really surprized they haven't started a hate page- Oh BTW the Ducks have got to be on the Sooners hate list-LOL
  • vtmechE · 6 months ago
    of the list of 12, south florida? byu? really?

    how about auburn?, hell the whole turner gill/gene chizik thing made every1's hatred a little more pronounced, and as far as im concerned they only consider themselves worthy of a "national title" in 2004, cuz jesse allen dropped a sure touchdown, and we missed a field goal

    how is texas not on the list when oklahoma is?

    i was surprised at how much respect nebraska got for its program, until i went to lincoln for the game last year, the nicest folks i've ever met, i can't hate, there's no way to hate 'em
  • Huxley Hofmann · 6 months ago
    Yeah, I thought the same thing...

    Which is why I didn't bother to post the rest of the list...

    I think it's more regionalized due to the location of the majority of the readers being in the Southeast...

    So far only 8 people are in favor of a New Championship System.

    Only 16 are interesting in updates @BCS_Revolution
  • gatorhippy · 5 months ago
    I joined the group, Benny...

    But just haven't had the chance to post my system...

    I will ASAP...
  • Ben Prather · 5 months ago
    I look forward to reviewing it.

    I will be unrolling mine in a series of YouTube videos shortly.
