The most important regular season football game for fans of the Florida Gators and Florida State Seminoles arguably is tonight’s end of season battle between the two franchises.
No matter how it ends up between the not-yet-bowl-eligible Gators (who need to win to have postseason hopes) and the unbeaten Seminoles (finishing out their season with a backup quarterback after Jordan Travis’ injury), one very prominent Floridian is ready for any given outcome given his choice in footwear.
As he told the Heritage Foundation, the boots delight fans of both the Florida Gators and Florida State Seminoles, albeit for different reasons.
“In Florida we have some rivalries with college football,” explained DeSantis, a graduate of Yale University and Harvard Law School, back in October.
“So these are authentic Florida Gator boots. Now, the good thing about these is that Florida Gator fans love it because it’s the Gators. But, you know, Seminole fans also like it because someone had to kill a Gator to make those boots,” DeSantis said. “So that’s the only way I found to be able to please both sides.”
The Seminoles are favored by roughly a touchdown — those interested in those kinds of investments are encouraged to shop lines accordingly.
But when it comes to Ron DeSantis, it’s clear he is able to play both sides here.
DeSantis’ footwear has been a topic of fascination in recent months, extending beyond his special gator boots.
Asked about another pair during a recent interview and whether those boots offered a boost, the Governor told PBT Podcast listeners that he’s wearing “standard off the rack Lucchese” kicks. He said that because he is just 1 inch shy of 6 feet tall, he doesn’t need extra height from footwear.

I just knew you libs would have fun with this. He is still an excellent Governor and it just burns you wackos. Thank God your boy Andrew Gillum lost. Just imagine how screwed up this state would be with that drug snorting, cork soaker in charge.

I voted for Gillum, but you are right, it’s a good thing he didn’t win because he had/has his problems that may well have eventually forced him to step down if he’d won.
That said, you could make your point without mocking another man’s problems (you have no problems?)and using homophobic slurs. You might find yourself in meaningful dialogue with people here if you could just stick to your points. You might have pointed out that this obsession with DeSantis’s boots is boring and repetitious, and I would have readily agreed with that, because I don’t give a darn about his boots.

All is fair in politics and of course I am by no means perfect. People and writers on this message board are completely focused on discrediting and attacking our fine Governor of Florida. I am merely giving back a taste of the medicine dolled out on this board on a daily basis.

Well said, and I’m glad you responded. I don’t believe all is fair in politics, it seems like that’s a notion that pops up from time to time, generation to generation. Roger Stone has advocated that philosophy since Nixon ran in ’68 (or ’72, not sure when Stone showed up in Nixon’s life). And Nixon’s belief in it may have led to Watergate.
But that’s beside the point. The point is we are having a good dialogue, and for that I am grateful. You believe our Governor is doing a good job and that’s what you have every right in the world to do. As they say (as a friend recently reminded me), you be you and I’ll be me, but no need to get upset about it.

No need to get irritable bowels over it, but from the sound of it, that’s all IBS got. Irritable Bowels.

DeSatan can lick my boots and eat pudding with his nasty fingers too. Floridians are worse off with him as governor.

Rhonda says a lot of dumb shit, but this is the dumbest yet. Rhonda is 1 inch shy of 6 feet. Because in Florida, one foot is just 6 inches and 6 inches are a mere 3.
Is Jill also nearly 6 feet tall? Because Rhonda is maybe one inch taller than Jill, and she was on TV, so you know she’s like 4’10” because they hire tiny people for TV and movies because that saves on set building expenses when everything can be two thirds normal size.

Ron’s campaign reboot is replacing their white boots with some gator boots in the news cycle? That will work. LOL
