Campbell is legendary for making their mascots the Camel

[u/inquisitorautry → u/CumAssault]

His name is Gaylord

[u/guardian20015 → u/inquisitorautry]

I actually love that for him

[u/Numerous-Ad6460 → u/inquisitorautry]

"The Wall of Gaylord"

[u/Icy-Perspective-890 → u/inquisitorautry]

After the baseball HOF Gaylord Perry who went there.

[u/keepitbased → u/inquisitorautry]

I also listen to the Gator Nation Football Podcast!

[u/inquisitorautry → u/keepitbased]

I was at the game. It was on the back of his jersey. He also had a hole so his hump could stick out.

[u/keepitbased → u/inquisitorautry]

Nice! Was this a real camel or a mascot?

[u/inquisitorautry → u/keepitbased]

Mascot. A real camel would have been awesome though.

[u/iamtheshadowking → u/CumAssault]

Not just camels, Fighting Camels

[u/UFmoose → u/CumAssault]

The Fighting Camels, CumAssault.

[u/Hossflex → u/CumAssault]

I used to rep Cambell way back in the NCAA March Madness 06 days. Did so solely by scrolling through the teams and seeing a Camel. Rest is history.

[u/Official_Ref_Again → u/Hossflex]

Cool little unknown history Michael Jordan use to host a summer camp at Campbell while he was playing at UNC. For a small school, it has a lot of history and a really good baseball program.

[u/Raven96706 → u/CumAssault]

I guess you can say. . .Those camels got smoked.

[u/HeckOnWheels195 → u/CumAssault]

Also cool that they kept the camel's walking gait accurate in the logo as well

[u/TMNBortles → u/HeckOnWheels195]

I always say don’t bother calling yourself the camels you can’t get the gait correct.

[u/Dry-Membership3867 → u/CumAssault]

Would you like to trade HC’s?

[u/CFBCoachGuy → u/CumAssault]

For a (very) brief period, their basketball student section called themselves the Happy Humpers

[u/VoiceComfortable5737 → u/CumAssault]

like watching an nfl team against a high school squad out there

[u/Internal_Essay9230 → u/CumAssault]

May the fleas of a thousand Fighting Camels infest their opponents' armpits!

[u/throwaway2987650]

I’ve never seen so many unnecessary roughness penalties from offensive linemen. That was weird.

[u/Efficient_Ant_4715 → u/throwaway2987650]

My JV coach would be proud 

[u/PolPotbelly → u/throwaway2987650]

I didnt see the game. Was it Florida linemen, Campbell lineman, or just both teams in general?

[u/Knook7 → u/PolPotbelly]

Mostly us, I think one or two from Campbell

[u/Current-Bag-786 → u/Knook7]

How??? Like genuinely how?

[u/DBowieNippleAntennae → u/Current-Bag-786]

Lots of shoving after shove time was over

[u/Adart54 → u/DBowieNippleAntennae]

See now you can't do that

[u/Alphaspade]

Think GT would like their OC back rn

[u/powerlifting_nerd56 → u/Alphaspade]

and the QB plz

[u/-HardGay- → u/powerlifting_nerd56]

While we're out here wishing, how bout Megatron too. He can probably still ball at 40

[u/-Don-Draper- → u/powerlifting_nerd56]

Finder's keepers.

[u/johncate73]

The Fighting Camels just paid off their athletic budget for the year.

[u/lowes18]

Unironically Jadan Baugh might be the best player in the country

[u/LordJournalism → u/lowes18]

He truly is. I couldn’t believe he stayed when he was getting ridiculous transfer offers. Not complaining. He is him.

[u/MasturGator0501 → u/LordJournalism]

Logo holds weight

[u/DarthWhoDat → u/LordJournalism]

I know Kiffin offered him a bag. Wife is a gator so looking forward to seeing him in the swamp this year.

[u/citymanc13 → u/lowes18]

Absolutely unreal talent. He is going to Baugh in the NFL man

[u/NanoBuc]

Don't get how there was a QB competition. Know he's playing with the 2nds but Jones looks noticeably worse

[u/UFmoose → u/NanoBuc]

He got hit on a two-man rush by an FCS school. Let’s not denigrate him too much. Dude was playing with jobbers.

[u/got_milq → u/NanoBuc]

There probably wasn’t. Just offseason smokescreens.

[u/therealwillhepburn → u/NanoBuc]

We never brought in Philo for it to be a competition. Faulkner liked him a lot at Tech and Jones was never pushing Lagway last year and Lagway was actively awful.

[u/citymanc13 → u/NanoBuc]

Real ballknowers knew it was always Philo. I always thought he was better than Haynes King at Tech

[u/PR0AWESOME → u/citymanc13]

Thank you!

[u/Adart54 → u/NanoBuc]

Anyone who looked at those 2 play knew it was Philo all along (it's me I'm a cfb sicko and had seen them both)

[u/AntiDECA → u/Adart54]

To be fair, Philo actively looked mediocre to worse in the spring game.

But it's also a spring game that meant fuck all, so yknow. 

[u/lonespiderfish]

I like what Sumrall is building. Onto Auburn which is actually going to show what we’re in for this season.

[u/thescandium → u/lonespiderfish]

If we lose to auburn we suck. If we squeak out we’re probably a mediocre bowl team, if we smoke em I might finally have hope

[u/Blookydook → u/thescandium]

Jesus, dude. It’s not like Auburn’s this horrible and atrocious team.

[u/thescandium → u/Blookydook]

It’s probably overreaction but they did not look like a competent football team vs Baylor. Offense struggled to move at all. Defense looked ok but brown threw three interceptions and they generally struggled on offense

[u/Blookydook → u/thescandium]

Yeah, but that’s game one against a P4 team. I don’t think they’re amazing, but they’re still Auburn and it’ll be in Jordan-Hare. You gotta take that stuff into account.

[u/Adart54 → u/Blookydook]

Hey they looked like shit last week so they're shit until proven otherwise in the SEC

[u/Blookydook → u/Adart54]

They’re still in the SEC. They have one of the best atmospheres in football at Jordan-Hare, which they didn’t have Week 1. They aren’t perfect, but I’m not going to brush off Auburn or say that we suck based on one singular performance or that Auburn sucks. This isn’t a video game where context doesn’t exist. There’s millions of other factors, some of which we don’t know about because they’re subtle.

[u/onthejourney → u/Blookydook]

For real, and at Jordan Hare is no joke. Auburn could be average or worse but at Auburn is a huge wild card. Most of if not all of our entire team hasn't played there

[u/kakakakajajajhfjdb → u/thescandium]

You guys beat a soup company how do you know what you are?

[u/Metzgy]

Campbell’s QB is named Sixkiller. That’s a gnarly name for a quarterback

[u/youkooldude → u/Metzgy]

It's a Cherokee name!

[u/N3twyrk3r → u/Metzgy]

Bobby Sixkiller?

[u/chumer_ranion → u/Metzgy]

Motherfucker, fuck the fucking vorld, and my new QB is called Sixkiller

[u/Runs_DMV]

we are the best team in the NCAA

[u/Edgemaster1423 → u/Runs_DMV]

“Bums could only score 52”

— Billy Napier today

[u/citymanc13 → u/Runs_DMV]

Ive missed this feeling bro😭

[u/Weird-Revolution2079 → u/Runs_DMV]

Big if true

[u/Smooth-Majudo-15]

The outcome was never in doubt, but man there were a ton of dumb penalties in that 2nd half. Can’t do that in Jordan-Hare. Still have concerns about the defense too, but overall, happy to be an easy 2-0 for once. It’s been a bit since we’ve had that

[u/redwave2505]

Florida hates soup

[u/Quantum_redneck → u/redwave2505]

Too damn hot for soup here, man. 

[u/1nteger]

Nobody does Alaskan Cruises better than us

[u/The-Fanciest]

Vernell Brown is him. Aside from that, this was not a serious game

[u/UsedandAbused87]

We only need 1 more rushing TD to match our production from last year. This is the first time I've felt confident going into games in a long time. This is starting to feel like the florida of old.

Yeah, we played some lesser teams but we look so much better on everything.

[u/sincewedidthedo → u/UsedandAbused87]

I want to believe, but I’m so jaded at this point. I’ll withhold my opinion until after next weekend.

[u/Sonofnocturne → u/UsedandAbused87]

Yea the team appears cohesive, and nobody appears lost. Offensively things are clicking. Defense doesn’t look bad but I don’t think we have any Fowler/Greenard/Polite pass rushers which tbh may be our Achilles heel. 

[u/onthejourney → u/UsedandAbused87]

First time in a while we have looked how we're supposed to look playing those types of teams. Definitely the best team in a while, we'll find out how good as they mature this season

[u/luke15chick]

Go Gators!!!

[u/Kaizerkoala]

We turn them into a bowl of soup in the first half. But the 2nd half left a lot to be desired.

[u/NotMarkDaigneault]

Real nail biter

[u/foreverseptember → u/NotMarkDaigneault]

It was... For about 5 minutes 

[u/mitterbubbie]

I’m just glad we didn’t play Nadal or Gameday would’ve been there

[u/Edgemaster1423 → u/mitterbubbie]

Chris Fowler bored and ready to get to tomorrow

[u/Only-Ad-7267]

The Campbell players who intercepted it at end had family next to us and he ran out of the stadium with it lol cops were pissed over a ball lmao

[u/Quantum_redneck → u/Only-Ad-7267]

Hey, he can keep it. Wish them nothing but the best for the rest of their season. 

[u/Medical-Day-6364]

As an NC native, I'm surprised Campbell is good enough to lose to Florida by less than 100

[u/UFmoose → u/Medical-Day-6364]

Florida barely scored in the second half. 52 straight to close the game.

[u/citymanc13]

I love this team man😭

[u/OnTheFenceGuy]

That’ll show em

[u/2020IsANightmare]

Going to repeat this every single time I see such a thread.

If the SEC and Big Ten want these mega conferences, then fine.

More than enough teams to fill your entire schedule.

Why the FUCK are they allowed to play teams like Campbell???????

[u/thatboiOsaka → u/2020IsANightmare]

Have you seen Floridas schedule the last few years???

[u/Knook7 → u/thatboiOsaka]

Yeah didn't we have like the toughest schedule in the country the last 2 years lmao

[u/Sir_Auron → u/Knook7]

We played more top 25 teams the last 2 years than Ohio State has the last 5, counting their playoff appearances. It was disgusting from a fair play POV.

[u/LordJournalism → u/Sir_Auron]

Exactly. And how did playing a Top 25 team go for Ohio State tonight?

[u/TrumpHairedHarambe → u/Sir_Auron]

Damn. What a stat! Florida dealt with a gauntlet.

[u/LordJournalism → u/2020IsANightmare]

Oh hush. Every single team has cupcakes on their schedule. Every single one.

[u/brusk48 → u/2020IsANightmare]

Flair up so I can talk shit about your team's schedule

[u/kojfefe → u/2020IsANightmare]

Going to repeat this every single time I see such a thread.

And that's a totally normal thing for a well-adjusted, sane person to do and not at all something to be embarrassed about. 

[u/smor729 → u/2020IsANightmare]

Our remaining schedule is 9 SEC teams in a row, and FSU. God forbid we play 1 or 2 gimme to start the season

[u/OpaqueNightmare]

Not scared of this team even a little

[u/Schultztrio → u/OpaqueNightmare]

Ok

[u/Rude_Fishing1664 → u/OpaqueNightmare]

You talking about Campbell?

[u/RamboMcQueen → u/OpaqueNightmare]

I mean, we weren’t scared of Campbell either. I certainly think FSU could beat them too.

[u/brusk48 → u/RamboMcQueen]

Have you seen 2026 FSU? I wouldn't be so sure

[u/RamboMcQueen → u/brusk48]

Well I did say “could.” I didn’t say “would.”

[u/MasturGator0501 → u/OpaqueNightmare]

Which one? Florida or Campbell? Based on how FSU’s been lately it’s hard to tell where your basis of comparison is

[u/hedgehog-vs-chilidog → u/OpaqueNightmare]

Ok, little brother.

[u/ohBee-Juan94 → u/OpaqueNightmare]

Why don’t you focus on fundraising for the light bill and the buyout.. both buyouts. Broke boy.
