This is the worst "i never thought this would happen to me" story ever, but I had a disagreement at a hotel bar last night with a Gator aged about 35-40 and an Aggie about 30ish. Can't say it was an argument because I didn't let it get that far.
2 dudes sitting next to me at the bar were talking about Arch. One guy saying he's really good, and another saying he's not any good. I weigh in that if nothing else he is way more athletic than Quinn and I think that will help because much of the OL last year got drafted. Just trying to keep it high level.
We exchange pleasantries, and 1 guy is a Florida alum (guy singing Arch praises) and one is Aggy (Arch sucks). About 3 minutes later these dudes have shifted the conversation to the SEC has negotiated a 9 game schedule. I say "9 game conference schedule, and I don't think that is finalized". Aggy and Gator are quite sure it's 9 games total, and they start googling. I'm laughing, and Gator asks me "why are you so sure you're right?". I answer "I'm not really sure how to respond. I follow college football. They aren't shrinking the season from 12 regular season games to 9. Too much money at stake."
It went back and forth from there with the Aggy reading me an article that was clearly talking about conference games, but they both interpreted as total games. I laughed as they told me I was clearly wrong, and I told them "Cool. Enjoy the reduction in football revenue while everyone else makes more money."
They got up and left, and the last thing I hear is "go gata!".
Fucking idiots.
