5 Star Recruit Patchan Picks UF, UM Fans Curse Fate

Yesterday, 5 Star Offensive Line Recruit Matt Patchan picked UF over UM at a press conference. It's a good bump for Florida, whose recruiting class is ranked number 12 in the country. Miami's is ranked fifth.

The Miami Herald live-blogged during the conference, and by reading the comments, you can pick the exact point at which the UM fans began rioting: 1:39.

Fans expressed their outrage that Patchan did not choose to attend UM, where his father played:

"you will never be part of this U fam ever again and to be honest you poser ass never was, freaking hater. Patchan ass sellout... i promise U this.. cory luiget and fortson will own your gibberish ass in college ......"

Florida fans soon logged on to gloat, prompting this awesome response from a semi-literate Miami fan:

"Gators have not beat Miami since 1983. Why would you talk sh@t to a UM fan. This isnt your little Georgia rivalry that you dominate. Until you beat us shut the F@CK up. Quarter of a century without beating the U."

Of course, the two teams have not played on a yearly basis since 1987. UM's 5-7 season also makes it easier to "talk sh@t." Especially given Miami's lost to the, uh, juggernaut that is NC State.

Miami fans also were quick to call Patchan a racist:
"Plain and simple, the RACIST just did'nt want to play for a Black Coach."
Because when you commit to a better team that plays in a better conference and that recently won a national championship, racism is probably the most reasonable explanation for spurning the worse team.

patchan sr says the decision was razon thin?
BS
it was black and white

randy is black
urban is white

its alright
cause its all white !

Ouch! Remember college football fans: when you lose out on a recruit because your storied program is in shambles, racism is definitely to blame. Nice poetry though, I can't top that.
