It’s a nickname given to people who would “jump the gun” during Oklahoma land rush events, back when they were selling off plots of farmland.
The Gators, The Sooners, The Volunteers, and The Wolverines are all US college basketball teams. I don’t follow college sports so it took me a second too.
Ok, that green one really had me mad. There were a couple yellow ones that fit.

I’m pretty familiar with markdown formatting. I use it everyday in my Sysadmin job. :-).
I just forgot what the character was called.
Note- I don’t know what this ` is called. My lemmy client on my iPhone has a “Code” button to automatically type the six of them and then I can paste inside the two sets of three. You can also find it by holding your finger on the single quote ‘ key and then picking it from the pop-up list.
Yikes…
