Ever been to Gainesville, FL?
Posted by Lmeye15 on 9/11/12 at 10:04 am00
Me and my buddy are going down to the swamp in October. (both LSU students). Neither of us have ever been. Wondering if anyone has any tips/places to go/nightlife or info about tailgating. We usually have a huge tailgate group but we know no one in Florida and no where to tailgate. Should we just pack an ice-chest and walk around or what?

Went there once in the Spurrier era. Not a pleasant experience as far as the game goes. We should have brought earplugs. It was freakin loud in the Swamp then. Maybe not so much now.

Prayers sent. Been there twice. Worst road trip in the sec. Be sure to hide any alcohol.

Been too long ago for me. Purple Porpoise was the hot spot and had to witnessed the TT jump pass and LSU loss.

Went twice while in undergrad at LSU. It was awful. Swore I'd never go back.
Planning on RVing there this October.

If you like corndog and katrina jokes you'll love gainesville.

I'll be in Tallahassee. Considering driving down for the game for the hell of it. I'll be alone though :/

I tend to agree.
Tailgating sucks, cops are dicks, and their fans are mean as f*ck.

This. Heard em both years I went. Don't go with people that are either underage or like to fight. Likely both bad things will happen to them.

Six times-- I am 6-0 in the Swamp. Obviously, I skipped the Spurrier years. Walk around. You may well be invited to a tailgate.

I'd bring a bubba keg as well so they can't see what's in it. And don't stumble, ever. The cops are selective with their enforcement: purple/gold only.
It's the worst place to go for an SEC Game. The toothless unwashed come out of central Florida, and they ALL want to fight. We have people at LSU that never went and dont have a degree, but not nearly to the extent of the Florida fan base.
F that place.
