Saturday night was the start of college football season and after a great game between the University of Florida Gators and the Miami Hurricanes the ugly side of college athletics reared it's ugly head.

According to multiple sources the University of Florida Gator Band was in their parade order marching to their buses after the game outside of the stadium when a group of University of Miami fans tried to push their way into the band block. The Director of the Gator Band, Dr. Jay Watkins, saw the group and ran towards them to help stop the altercation.

The Miami fans then attacked Dr. Watkins placing him in a choke hold and slamming his head to the concrete. A member of the band reportedly was punched in the face and had a bloody nose.

Dr. Watkins saved multiple members from worse injuries by stepping in to stop these fans and in turn put himself in harms way.

This type of behavior directed towards bands is truly unacceptable and unfortunately it happens too often.

We wish the Gator Band and Dr. Watkins a quick recovery.

When I think of Miami fans, I think educated and classy.

Miami’s O-line was probably guarding the UF band.

The only time I've ever been scared walking back to my car was an away game I attended at Miami. Those fans are straight trash.
