Last weekend the family and I went to the Florida vs. Alabama game in Gainesville, Florida. We tailgated across from the stadium and got to see the players show up and the Gator Walk. Florida is celebrating 100 years of football and as such was playing in their “throwback” uniforms (uniforms from “back in the day”, with just an F on the helmet). The game was in the Swamp, as always, and was a great game. The game was in doubt until well into the 4th quarter, when Florida finally broke the back of the Crimson Tide. My little brother is still attending Florida (until he graduates in December with his Masters in Comp Sci), and our cousin Jennifer is also in school there. She is a very big Florida fan and attends every home game.
We wound up on the East side of the stadium, near the student section, and as such had to stand up on the bleachers for about 95% of the game. The only time you got to sit down was when there was a timeout or halftime. It was a great game and I was very happy to have been there. Much fun was had by all.
