Guy on the left is exactly how I pictured you, right down to the Tevas and turning in at 8:25. Glad you’re enjoying your trip. Gainesville is a great college town . My 7 years there (undergrad, post-grad and work) were very happy.
Soak in The Swamp. Note how steep the stands are, on top of the field and holding in the noise. That and the rabid fans are why it’s the loudest stadium in the country.
Consider the grind of playing in the SEC in venues like that almost every week against programs like Bama, LSU, UF, Auburn, Georgia and Tennessee which have all won national championships in the last 25 years. (Pac-12 has had just one.) A win over Alabama 14 years ago doesn’t begin to approach it.
Now consider that over the last 10 years we’ve been, on balance, better than Utah and fired 3 coaches because they weren’t good enough. Your peak is our valley. Be glad you’re catching us at the outset of a rebuild. It’s on now.
