I haven't been able to see the gators in person since 2001 because I moved to Iowa. Well this summer me and my fiance moved down to tuscaloosa alabama and I went to Starkville last night for the football game..
When my friend and I pulled into town I was quite suprised how small it was. It reminded me of small town Iowa. We got to park for free at a church and walked about 1 mile to the downtown area. I couldn't find tickets online but I had to scalp them and got jipped on price but I wasn't missing this game for sure. I payed 160 dollars for 2 tickets on the very last row in the upper bowl.
Couple of things I noticed that GOD THATS ALOT OF GATOR FANS. I wasn't expecting that many. I was also worried about being stuck in a group of MSU fans but my whole section was nothing but UF fans and the section on the other side was nothing but UF fans and it was great. The MSU fans were GREAT. That had to be the best experience I ever had at someone elses home for a football game. The tailgating was good and I hung out with the UF Tailgators and drank some brews and had some fun.
The game was a good one but poor playcalling made me scratch my head alot. a couple that come to mind were the 3 short side passes at the end of the half that led to the pick 6. Also why in the world would you throw the ball when your up by 16 with 4 mins to go in the game and your on your own 2 yard line?
I was proud of how well the Defense played with out Spikes. Heck our D gave up 9 points and our offense gave them 13. Not bad but the offense has to protect the ball better.
But any ways here are my pics of the game. Some are not the best because I had to use the digital zoom but they looked okay.
I was soooooo happy I went to this game. I fianally got to see tebow in person. I'm going to try to make it to gainsville for the FIU game this year.
