Sold my soul to Florida and now I'm Gator not that this is a bad thing. Gator Grad student, not on campus, but on a satellite campus outside Gainesville. Leading a sizable portion of our cohort to go to Gainesville for a game likely UCF vs. UF and getting a block of tickets in the student section. For tailgating for the game what's the experience like tailgating at UF? Not sure if we need a permit to set up a tent or if its first come first serve across campus or if you can tailgate where you park. Help a Gator out to maximize the experience.

P.S. Spare me the OSU hate. I guess go Gators

Welcome aboard!

One favor to ask, can you bring Mark Pantoni with you to replace Scott Stricklin?

That’s hilarious! Great troll job! Probably would have been the kid to go up and kick Albert or gave him my OSU scarf. I feel old AF looking at this since I remember 15th and High very well and we lost to UF before my freshman year. I needed this laugh. Thanks!

to be fair he started here before he went to Columbus

I think you’ll notice as a Buckeye fan that the AD there is much better run then the Uaa and you will be shocked at how bad our Uaa is

In fact they actively try to sabotage the football and basketball program in favor for women’s basket weaving and fencing

To ur question, it wouldn’t surprise me if the Uaa outright bans tailgating in the next year or so as they hate the idea of people not eating at the stadium concessions and once they build Chip Howard’s $500 million dollar kitchen it wouldn’t surprise me at all if they outright banned or made tailgating really difficult to do on game day so that the fans are forced to eat there shitty overpriced hotel convention food At the swamp

I haven't set up on campus in a few years but it used to be first come, first serve, with a lot of longtime spots sort of "taken"

You'll get a lot of cross-traffic from other tailgators, drop-ins, etc. If you're wearing your OU stuff like any other fanbase (other than FSU, Tenn, or Miami) you'll get some gentle ribbing and then probably some drinks and friendly banter.
