For the empty and quiet Swamp? Some said it wasn't about the **** soup coach we kept for waaay too long and the way he made our kids play? It was about wifi, lazy kids, hdtv and ac?

How bout that rockin' Swamp?

A kid from Montana said this is cool.

The students didn't show up for the TN game. What did the student section look like last night? Anyone?

You just can't help yourself can you? :facepalm:

Move on and just enjoy the win, the new coach, and leave chimp where he belongs. The past

Just from the higher shots they showed they were really late to show up again...looked like about mid to late 1st quarter it was finally filled in but never looked completely full...maybe a few empty seats towards the top. Sqautch and Queenie could probably tell you best as they have a pretty good view of it. I will say though that that sounded like the loudest i've heard the stadium on tv in a long long long time...that place was rocking.

Not a good picture, but here is the student section long after there was any doubt as to who would win. The ole piss fans who traveled were already back in their hotels.

From my vantage point the only seats that were never fully packed were the sunshine seats.

My ears are still ringing. The Swamp was alive last night. The sustained noise from the first kick to the final whistle was outstanding. The students took their time finding their seats, but it filled in really well. Couple empty seats in the very top of the student section.

The very top seats always look empty in big games because students always move down and cram additional people into lower rows. I used to do this all the time when the weekly lottery gave me horrible seats. Besides, the Swamp was rockin - the legally deaf were complaining from all the noise last night.

Wonder how much of the student section issue is the students or the policy. Used to be back in the day you could drive over to Gainesville and pick up a student ticket cheap. Think you need to have a student ID to accompany a student ticket nowadays. Sat in the student section MANY times back in the day.

I don't think the Captain and Queenie were able to make it.

Like Red Skelton said at the funeral of a MUCH hated movie director (attended by thousands) "WHen you give the people what they want, they show up"

I was 30 rows up southwest ten Yardline section 4. The usual 50 Yardline gap was at the top on the student side till about 10:00 left in the 1st quarter, maybe till 7:00. Even the top of the north side was pretty packed in.

This was the red pompom people just before the last TD to make it 38-3

Looks like we kept him just long enough. It's good to be the guy who follows the guy who follow the guy at UF.

I think the student section started filling in after the first td and it looked like it could be a game...

A top 5 opponent and the stands were filled, not really surprising. Now when FAU arrives and we still have full stands, then we can say there has been a change. Much like Ferg and his love of Freeze, there is not enough data to say there has been a change in people showing up.

Sunshine Seats still weren't full, top of student section eventually filled in. Lots of people still left early when the game was in hand.
