You really think that more than a handful of the Gator faithful give even a dingleberry how some skinny geeks in silky underwear do? XC is just part of their requirement to be a D1 program, if there were no longer an NCAA minimum requirement of varsity sports then it would be gone in a heartbeat without so much as a whisper from the fans who tune in for football and basketball.

Red Sox Nation was around long before the 2004 season. It owes to the tremendous following the Sox have around the country. They pretty much own the patent on Nation. Deal with it.
Except that there are more Cubs fans than Red Sox fans across America. I mean REAL fans, that actually watch regular season games and give a crap when the team is eliminated from contention almost every year, not the "fans" who all-of-a-sudden found that Red Sox cap (that they'd never worn before) oh-so-coincidentally right about the time that Boston finally made it to the ALCS. Before they came back on the Yanks I never saw more than a handful of BoSox fans outside of NE.
Gator fans may not care about cross country but they do want to have a rounded athletic department and win many national titles in all sports. Does Coach Pigg have job security?

will stop using it as soon as UF does not win a national championship in bball for football. Until then I can use it as much as I want.
-GATOR NATION
There's been a Seminole Nation far longer than this Gator Nation hogwash.
I think what you meant to say is that the raiders are the only people who can use the word nation. As in RAIDER NATION!!!!!
...Case and point. Ugh.
If it isn't played with a ball, it matters the least of all.
