Why are expectations so high at Florida? Blame Steve Spurrier | The State

Have you heard the joke about the Florida fan who went to a restaurant and ordered a filet mignon, baked potato and asparagus tips?

After a few minutes, the waiter brought out a plate of dog food.

“I’m not eating that!” the fan said.

“My, my,” the waiter snapped. “You Florida fans sure are spoiled.”

Hey, I didn’t say it was Jerry Seinfeld material. It merely illustrates how Florida followers are wrongly perceived as college football’s most demanding, ungrateful and unforgiving fans.

It’s also a cautionary tale to any coach thinking of applying for the UF opening.
