I don't know if we can quote or reply to comments below our post, so I'm doing it this way. Yeah, I was at the Swamp before the 2011 Alabama game as well. Ridiculously packed as always on gameday. Not sure if you remember, but there was a former Alabama DB (late 90s teams) hanging out and drinking there. Super obnoxious, tons of smack talk, and just generally a drunk d-bag. Long and short, he apparently decided to continue his activities after the game at the players tunnel and was the guy Easley punched. Fortunately no charges or suspension, and DE did what all of us had wanted to do the entire afternoon.
Ben Hill Griffin Stadium will always be a very special place for me. There really is nothing like a Gator game day in the Swamp!Mudd said:NavetG8r;n47284 said:Driving down from NC for the game. Will be the first game I've been to in over 20 years. Really excited to experience the Swamp again!
Wow Navet I'm jealous that you get to walk into that place for the 1st time in a long time. I remember when I was in my teens I didn't get to go to the games for years between 9-17, so when I did get back to a game that 1st time feeling hit me again as I walked out in the stands. OH MAN!!! I miss that feeling the chills, goose bump, sights and sounds. If you walk out a few mins before the team runs out of the tunnel and see all that orange and blue with lights on and the sun setting, wow it's like heaven on earth. I only go once a year but I love every min. of that 1 day.
