Taking a family trip to Disney and meeting up with some family from WA state and old friends from Fla. We decided to do a "guys day" on Saturday and make a run to the UF/Vol game. Any must see's or do's around campus? Any "hot spots" that y'all recommend?
It'll be different being at a game that I don't have a dog in fight but should be fun nonetheless. Should be a good break from tinker bell and Minnie Mouse.
Thanks for the link DD. You ever been there? Is it comparable to Baton Rouge or Tuscalousa?
Have not, but I've heard they party SEC style there, so it should be interesting.
Yea that's what I hear. My wife's cousin (WSU fan) has been wanting to do a SEC game. Should be a fun day.
Were going to have quite a crew. 2 UF fans, LSU fan, Bama fan, OR Beaver fan, and a WSU fan. I'll leave my body paint at home this week! Haha
I'll be in T'town in two weeks for the Ole Miss game with my son (student at Ole Miss).
I had a blast @ the Lsu/Bama game in t town 2yrs ago. I'd defiantly geaux again. Great people, great food and some good times.
Practice up on the Gator Chomp and get ya a cap with an F on it. My son and his wife went to a game down there a few years ago and came back talking about how the Gator fans were less than hospitable to their opponent's fans. Have fun!
That's sad. Nothing wrong with a little good natured razzing but it shouldn't get carried away. Have never been a FL fan for that very reason.Quote:

Fin, I can promise you I won't be wearing no orange or blue. I'll be in neutral colors, no need to bring unwanted attention to myself. I've heard that before about Oxford DD. I'd like to go there and College Station.
Screw 'em. Wear your colors proudly. Guarantee you I would. But then I like to poke the lion in the ribs.Quote:

With all of us together in that environment and booze, we could find trouble. I gotta behave so I can enjoy Disney with my lil one. I'm sure I'll let it be known that when Driskel comes to BR his ass better be ready!
Gainesville is not a friendly place for visiting teams. also had a bad experience with LSU fans in baton rouge.Quote:

Yep Stik, We all have those fans that want college football to be more than just about a game. I pull Crimson, but some of the jokes are so hilarious, no matter who is the butt. Football, being a game, is much more about fun than attitude. We moved to Chicago from Alabama when I was 6. Real sports town. Loved their Hockey, Basketball, Football. My elementary grade class mates had a difficult time trying to understand this little hillbilly boy. They knew all about Alabama And Auburn. Knew the names of their Coaches, players; 'stats and history. I really didn't. And I had never met The Bear!
I was told early on to hate Auburn early, and hate them often. Then we moved. When you get away from Alabama, all you really ever hear, is what two great schools you got yourselves down there. It is just a game, and we love it.
