Lamical Perine says Florida 'might have the most bipolar fans'
Florida RB Lamical Perine is in Hoover on Monday as part of the Gators’ contingent at SEC Media Days, and he’s wasting no time making waves.
Usually, teams try to avoid saying anything controversial at Media Days. Sometimes, they’ll needle a rival or opposing fanbase.
However, Perine went in a different direction, calling out his own fans. Per reporter Nick de la Torre, Perine said Florida fans might be “the most bipolar” fans in all of college football:
Lamical Perine: “Honestly, Florida might have the most bipolar fans. When we’re winning games everyone is happy. When we’re losing everyone is getting bashed from the coaches to the equipment guys, even kickers.”

To be fair, most fanbases are happy when their team is winning and mad when the team is losing, but Perine seems to think Florida fans take that to a new level.
We’ll see how this comment goes over in Gainesville.
I’m pretty sure he just described every college football fan in the country. As a Gator fan, I don’t disagree with him. Win and the fans are happy, lose and they’re not. Not sure what’s so crazy about this statement.
You are right of course but maybe he’s still mad at the fans booing Franks after the Mizzou game and in the first half of the USC game. Maybe he’s buddies with Franks and took exception to that. Whatever the case it really doesn’t matter.
No doubt. I’ve never seen a fanbase excited about losing.
