ESPN College Gameday is in Knoxville for fans of Tennessee to take their best shots at Florida football. Some signs are clever, but most signs reek of desperation.

We here at Hail Florida Hail offer our rebuttal to dumb Tennessee Gameday signs.

Florida football: Classier than you and you know it

We’ll start with one not on Gameday but from a Tennessee fraternity. It’s generally accepted that people not actually on the team are off limits, but apparently not.

If you want to dig out old signs from Florida attacking coaches wives, good. Call them out.

But beyond whether this is appropriate or not, this sign looks like it was written by a bunch of middle school boys who just joined the Pen15 club.

There might not be much of a difference between the two.

Florida football: It’s a long list

If we are sticking strictly to football, last year alone the list goes:

– Pitt

– Ole Miss

– Georgia

– Alabama

And oh yeah, Florida football won 38-14.

But this is the baseball team you say. The top ranked baseball team that didn’t make the College World Series.

So the correct answer to your sign Tennessee baseball is Notre Dame.

Florida football: Academic standards

The University of Florida is a top five public institution. Tennessee is not.

So while Tennessee fans are probably giddy at the thought of beating Florida football, the truth is this sign reads more like a question on a grad school exam at Tennessee.

”Ok, how many times is the letter L found in Billy?”

”Two. Am I smart?”

”Good job Johnny, here’s a sticker.”

Florida football: Two for one

We get two signs taking shots at Florida football to pick apart here.

On the left is Tennessee coach Josh Heupel wrestling an alligator. It’s cute. But shouldn’t that be saved for when he actually successfully beats Florida? As a reminder, Todd Grantham held his offense to 14 points last year.

On the right, yeah it’s weird Anthony Richardson might wear socks in the shower. But as a wise man once said “Neyland Stadium is like a garbage truck workers convention.”

Richardson is just trying to prevent getting a foot fungus.
