I am planning on going to Gainsville........

I live in Jacksonville and from my past few experiences in Gainesville, it can suck. Overall worth the trip, but be careful, they can be jerks. Strip of bars right off of campus aren't too bad. If we win, we usually take over the Swamp.

maybe I can try and get Tim "the" Tebow's number again and ask him where he goes after the game...LOL

I might have to bake some purple and gold ammo then!

I went in 2006; the worst we got was that I was called a "****" by a middle-aged man for wearing purple and gold baseball socks, and their student section started chanting "Tulane rejects" and jingling their keys in our faces towards the end of the game. Then we got gator chomped as we were driving towards the interstate leaving Gainesville.

I have a pretty thick skin for that kind of thing (most Tiger fans can dish it out too) but I was still kind of taken aback being on the receiving end of it. Losing didn't help.

Its called 'The Swamp', and its right on the corner of University and 17th across from the Smathers Library.

I went a few years back. I was really disappointed in their tailgate scene. I never really found a large open spot full of tailgating, we just found parking on locals' yards. We kept getting th chomp but that was about it. Enjoyed seeing a game in the Swamp but the tailgate was kind of lame.

its gonna be my first trip also. are they like tiger fans and give beer and food to the visiting teams fans.....if they dont it really doesnt matter b/c were bring a crap load of cajun food anyway. i was just curious if other sec teams did this or just the tiger fans

i will say, uf is horrible at tailgating and don't expect free food like at a tiger home game. it's just not really part of the culture.

we'll buy you a beer after the game so you can drown your sorrows though.

if?

shite, come by my keggar and you can have a dozen.
