I would not go back to that hell hole if you gave me free tickets.

The cops are total dicks and would write their grand mother a ticket if she was on the side walk with a beer.

I don't disagree with you, but on multiple occasions (while speeding) I've been passed by LSUPD to go pull over someone with another schools logo on their car.

My point being most cops everywhere are biased and douchbaggish.

I had a great experience when I went for the first time 2 years ago. We took a shuttle bus from our hotel and it dropped us off and picked us up right outside the stadium. It helped too that our seats were on the 50 yard line, row 5 (I still don't know how we got those tickets). But I definitely agree to keep your mouth shut after the game! I had a very uneasy feeling walking out of the stadium. They were some of the most unfriendly fans I have ever come across.

I have been to the Florida game in gainesville every year since 04 and its all about what you make of it. Tailgaiting is not all that great just walking around but they have a cool bar right down from the stadium called "the swamp" ( former professors house turned into a bar) that is pretty legit. We always have a nice sized crew with us and LSU fans take it over fairly well so its usually a good atmosphere.

Also the fans can be A-holes after if they win but they are quiet if they lose. Nothing new on away games but you will
notice they are very much like this moreso than any other fan base. We have had girls getting up in our girls face unprovoked after 08 loss stupid stuff like that

I have been to gainesville many times it's poop! No Hotel rooms, can't party on campus it's almost as bad as a PAC 10 school for tailgaitong. I would reccomend going to Pensacola and partying with the panhandle bayou bengals there good tiger fans and throw a nice party!
