Thanks!!! (From a visiting FL fan)

I posted on here prior to my visit looking for advice. Got overwhelming response, mostly sincere. Thought I'd give quick update on my visit.
I came down with 7 guys from work, none of whom were either UF or LSU grades (I'm UF grad). I have to tell you we had a great time and that there are now 8 more bigtime LSU fans on the this earth (though for me it's only when UF is not playing).
The LSU fans we encountered from the Limo lot (lot W where we parked) to the RV lot to various tailgating sites around the stadium we got to were ALL ABSOLUTELY AWESOME. I cannot begin to tell you what a positive impression you all left on our group. Yes, we got Tiger Baited (though it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be), but that was part of the fun. The fans were just fantastic and almost all treated us all like we were long lost family. I'm embarrassed to say, the only idiot fan we ran across was a UF fan in the RV lot that only seemed to want to harass people.
The food was awesome and when we ran out of beer far away from our tailgating spot, there was always someone volunteering to give us some of theirs. Everyone we met went out of the way to wish us well and tell us they hoped we enjoyed our stay. It really was amazing.
I will be back for sure and next time I'll be bringing my kids (3 little boys). The game day atmosphere was awesome, the stadium is great and you could not ask for nicer people. Amazingly enough we didn't even encounter any jerks (drunk students must be on other side of campus). My 7 buddies are all converts for life.
Thanks everyone. You all are welcome at my spot in gainesville any time and if I ever see anyone in gainesville harassing a visiting LSU fan in a manner inconsistent with how I was treated in Baton Rouge, I'll be sure to set the offending UF fan straight.
Thanks again!!

just another sign than LSU fans are getting weak.

Glad you enjoyed it (though I wish you'd not enjoyed the ending quite as much.) Aren't you glad we saved the piss balloons for Bama?

Jrzl, Thanks for posting your response. I'm really glad you enjoyed your visit. It just goes to show that we still have classy fans who greet the visiting fans with open arms. I hope that you can continue to have this experience.

Glad you had a good time. Good luck the rest of the season, unless we make it to the SEC Championship against Florida.

Exactly what I was thinking, they are taking on the personality of the head coach.

Ya'll aint so tuff....(though I'd be happy to tell people we were showered with piss bombs and batteries if it'd make you feel better)

Don't know what the hell this place is coming to... You could only barely here the boos when JJ through that interception.

Good game. We keep our idiots locked in the basement of Tiger Stadium for the games.

Glad you enjoyed your stay. You have a great team to pull for. Florida is one of the programs that rep the SEC well year in and year out.
