I once went to a game in Gainesville, playing I believe Auburn, and a group of 20 or so fraternity boys grabbed a sweet elderly couple, who had just been honored at halftime for having met as undergrads at UF and married 65 years ago.

The frat boys took these two, lifted them up crowd surfing style, and overwhelmed field security. They then took that pair to the 50 yard line. Him, they had horses and drew and quartered him. Her they doused with gasoline and set her on fire.

It was a grand time and Gators won by seven thousand points.

I have been twice; once in the mid 90's and again in 2005. Last time I went me and a buddy went to the Swamp (Bar) pre-game and everyone was cool. I didn't have a problem with any of the opposing fans either trip. Walking into the stadium in 2005 a gator fan pulled out a gallon zip-lock bag and filled it have half-full of Crown for us to take into the game. And yes UF does have some mighty fine women also.

I don't know if I have ever heard of someone having lampshades made out of them, but I was there in 2001 and 2007. I still don't know if a gator has tackled Travis Stephens yet or if he is still running. My most memorable moment from that game was when everyone was cheering as Grossman made a pitch to Kelvin Kite. The air was knocked out of the stands (and Kite), when Eddie Moore absolutely destroyed him. In 2007, we got our tickets from my brother and his son and sat in the student section with him. We got spit on leaving the stadium, but thats okay. It gets pretty loud there, but not as loud as Knoxville. In 2001, I actually wish we would have played Florida at home because it was played in December and I think the gators may have frozen.

I was there in 2001, and it was a blast. The fans were extremely cool to me, and I didn't have a single person give me a hard time.
My friends and I went to a place called the Purple Porpoise to hang out on Friday night. We had Florida fans invite us to chill with them, and we talked football all night. They even played Rockytop on the sound system, and all the Tennessee fans got up on the stage to sing. It was fun.
After we won the game, I had Florida fans congratulating me (like I had anything to do with the win), and patting me on the back. We even had a UF fan buy us a pitcher of beer while at a bar celebrating the win.
That's when I noticed David Keith was there. I went to talk to him about how Maryville High School had just won another state title (he was a MHS fan too that year), so then he too bought us a pitcher.

Yeah, you forgot to mention they also lit the winning cigar for you and decided you were so special that you should just stay at their place for the night and will be willing to sing Rocky Top at there house with you and all their other Gator fans as you all went to church the next morning together. Get a grip. I was there also in 2001 and I will say I also did not have any problems at all with any of the fans - a little ribbing back and forth and the "Swamp" bar throughout the wknd but that is expected anywhere you go - you have your drunk dbags in every college town and as long as you dont instigate or antagonize then you should be fine. I have heard stories, but they are in every SEC school not just UF.

Gainesville is an undeniable hellhole of a town, but Knoxville ain't exactly a peach either. I was talking to someone today who was trying to get a travel partner for this weekend and I found myself trying to talk him out of going. It's going to be ugly down there. No good can come to any UTK fan in Gainesville this Sat. no matter what the outcome of the game is. This is expecially true if you are a young man with any semblance of a chip on your shoulder. You're better off selling your tickets to a Gator at a mark-up and just driving on over to St. Augustine for the weekend.

If the goofball stays another 7 yrs. at UF... he will have a .500 record against "us guys"; but that's a BIG IF. When Timmy leaves, the saloon doors will look very inviting for Coach goofball to ride out of town and off into the sunset. :eek:k: Oh, btw...what the Gator fans will be experiencing at the end of the game Saturday, are the sights and sounds of the last time you have Ole Timmy "Two Guns" to save his goofball. :dance2: The Lane Train is coming down the track...WOOOO ...WOOOO, and "Dasterly Dan" Monte Kiffin will thereafter tie the goofball up on his tracks while the goofball cries and wails "where or where has my little Timmy gone?"

They don't want to read this. They want to read stories involving tossed excrement and little old ladies being hurled to their deaths from the top row of the east stands. They want stories of being kidnapped and held prisoner in abandoned well under a single wide and having their back skin made into "Go Gator" lampshades.

THEY? What's all this THEY? YOU asked the question. It's you that wants to hear that.

I have visited your lovely state on 7 different occasions
(4-3) and have had a wonderful time which is why I continue to go back. This is not to say however that I haven't been cussed at, had beer thrown on me, spit at after the Gaffney "catch" game and so on. When you get 85-100k people in that type atmosphere there are going to be some troublemakers, but c'mon nobody has a bunch of choirboy fans. If you're coming down have a great time.
Oh, I also have seen some jorts up there:):)

I sincerely hope your livelihood doesn't involve fortune telling or comedy because you would be homeless and posting this from a compter at the public library..

Sarcasm is a form of humor that uses sharp, cutting remarks or language intended to mock, wound, or subject to contempt or ridicule. Hostile, critical comments may be expressed in an ironic way such as saying "don't work too hard" to a lazy worker. The use of irony introduces an element of humor which may make the criticism seem more polite and less aggressive but understanding the subtlety of this usage requires second-order interpretation of the speaker's intentions.

My horror story is taking my girlfriend, who is a Gator fan, to the Hawaii game last year.

It was bad enough driving five hours with three Gators in my car, but worst of all was having to hang out in Gville for five hours waiting on the game to be (I didn't waste and of my precious money on a ticket). That place sucks!
