do realize that the posters of volnation are not players, we are fans. exactly how do we beat the hell out of them? unless you're talking about me sticking a boot up a gator student's a$$ if i ever have piss thrown at me. but seriously, i've been to neyland stadium a number of times and i have never seen fans act in the manner that a great percentage of gator fans act.
I have never been to Neyland, but would like to. Do you really think that I would not be worried if I were wearing Gator gear?
If you guys come to Gainesville for a game, try riding one of the GatorAider buses. They run from most of the mall parking lots right up to the stadium, and are waiting to load when the game lets out. Having to park and then walk a gauntlet of drinking boozing tailgaters, especially after dark would bother the hell out of me, too. I used to try and park close to the stadium and then walk to the game, but once I found the bus service, it was well worth the $5 to ride, and those that usually ride the buses aren't drunk and unruly, as these aren't tailgaters and tend to be older fans - of both teams. Besides, I usually take one of my boys when I go to a game, and like any parent, I try to set a good example. There are ways to get to the game and avoid the bad fans, if you know how.
Also, I guess I may different from most of the obnoxious fans you may have seen, as I haven't seen very much of what you guys have, and that may because I don't associate myself with those who exhibit the bad behavior.
You want to see some really bad behavior, go to a FL-UGA game at the Gatorbowl. I have had bottles, pizza, drinks, and lots of other stuff thrown at me - while I was sitting in the stands at the game! UGA fans have to be the worst of any I have ever seen, even when they won all the games. The most obnoxious fan I think I ever saw at a Gator game in Gainesville, had to be a Kentucky fan, who was drunk, sitting outside of the southendzone before the game, who screamed and hollered profanities and gatorhater epithets at every Gator fan that walked by. He kept up the harrassment, even as he went to his seats. The only thing that finally stopped him, was the extreme heat that is there in the visitor stands in the afternoon, and the guy finally fell out from the heat and rescue had to come to his aid.
