I don’t think other school’s fans should say that LSU fas smell like corn dog because corn dogs are brown, and that could be racist.

Had enough. Canceled my membership to the Gator forums I paid for (sorry, I know they don't have anything to do with UF) and will no longer be supporting the University in any way.

UF finding offense to a cheer created by a black man (Lawrence Wright) is mental gymnastics I cannot fathom.

Yeah, lot of links saying thats complete bullshite fwiw.

Not to be crude, but why would a person use a slave baby (property) as bait when a chicken does the same job? That doesnt even make sense.

There is still no evidence that this actually ever occured. Even Snopes thinks it bogus and they're on the same level as CNN when it comes to lefty views.
