The Official FSU vs UF (Respectful) Trash Talking Thread

<p>This thread is for respectful trash talking. No personal insults allowed, but symbol/mascot/school insulting is fine.</p>

<p>The UF Alligators stink. :)</p>

<p>Please proceed…</p>

<p>UF is located in Gainesville.</p>

<p>Gainesville is Hogtown on steroids.</p>

<p>Looks like your Seminoles give a bad rap wherever they go. Don’t be so down on your school’s tribe… I mean after all, Gainesville has accepted the Seminole’s short comings :wink: I guess I am going to start calling your Indian group the “Hogtown Seminole Tribe of Florida”. Kudos to the University of Florida planners for turning the Seminole’s Hogtown into a great academic arena. ;)</p>

<p>Who would want as their university symbol a carrion-eating reptile with a brain the size of a walnut?</p>

<p>Wow, this is pretty tame. I thought I’d see more venom here.</p>

<p>Gainesville smells like human waste</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yeah kinda lame. I thought there was going to be more witty comments. Shame on me for having high expectations. :)</p>

<p>I don’t think this constitutes as trash talking, but my school district’s head IT specialist (a UF alumnus) just asked me if I decided on a school yet. Of course I told him that I chose FSU over UF, and surprisingly he said, “Both are good schools; people at FSU are so nice, but UF students and faculty can be a bit… pretentious. Good choice.”</p>

<p>Give it time. ;)</p>

<p>Yup, my only minor regret from going to FSU to UF is dealing with the noticeable pretentious attitude (it can get pretty damn annoying) here and there, I honestly think it comes from some of the students manifesting the success of the SCHOOL thinking they are automatically better at everything because UF has experienced so much success in sports etc…where as I felt the people at FSU were more down-to-earth on a whole type people not relying on the school they attend as much to define their perceptions and attitudes etc, get where I am going at? 100% the truth, in my situation the truth lies in the middle and that is my honest perception.</p>

<p>Does being pretentious lead to dishonesty?

See: [UF</a> responds to cheating | | HeraldTribune.com](<a href=“http://www.heraldtribune.com/article/20100301/ARTICLE/3011036/-1/NEWS11?Title=UF-responds-to-cheating]UF”>http://www.heraldtribune.com/article/20100301/ARTICLE/3011036/-1/NEWS11?Title=UF-responds-to-cheating)</p>

<p>I don’t necessarily think there is a correlation between being pretentious and being dishonest, I will tell you one thing from my personal experiences, I have observed that UF takes more measures to reduce cheating than FSU does, by checking ID’s, some classes of mine I would have a TA follow me to the restroom to make sure I was not texting or calling anyone (my organic class) and they really pursue cheaters here at least in the classes I have taken (mostly science). </p>

<p>When I was at FSU kids would cheat out of the wood work in quite a few of my classes (especially the pre-med prereqs), flipping textbooks with their feet to certain pages, texting, graphing calculators programmed with all the notes, lots of people leaving to use the bathroom to call friends or look at notes under the trashcan they hid outside the class. I mean there was one time (or I should say four times) where one entire section of sorority girls cheated together on all the physics 1 exams, I even observed events where kids paid other kids to take their tests for them, none of my classes at FSU checked my FSUid during my 2 years there, only Bio 2 lab did during our practicals. I am not saying this stuff does not occur at UF I have just noticed that the cheating culture or the willingness to jump on it when the opportunity presents itself is not nearly as prevalent or utilized as it was at FSU, but still happens.</p>

<p>Now speaking of dishonesty…</p>

<p>Too, UF girls were probably more attractive when they were outnumbered by guys 2 to 1 at UF years ago.</p>

<p>Just because its in the law book doesn’t mean its enforced.</p>

<p>Guess I’m old school, but personal ethics are personal; meaning they don’t have to have to be enforced by an external authority to be valid. It’s the old doing the right thing when no one is looking concept. I’m quite certain if a violation was reported to the FSU faculty action would have been taken.</p>

<p>Who would want to have an MD treat them if the MD was known to be sloppy during surgery? Not me. I can guarantee you that the FSU Med School checks IDs, refuses to permit cell phones and sophisticated calculators during exams, and I’d bet the other programs are quite similar.</p>
