Been in Gainesville since Thursday. Heard on the rant that Gator fans were the worst. As usual not true at all. Fans were great everywhere we went including last night after the game.
Was at the Swamp bar on University all day watching games and drinking. About split between Ags and Gators. Watching Stros, RR shootout, and Auburn shitting the bed on 3 TVs. Was great and then RC came and the Ags in the place went wild and chants of “RC...RC...RC...” broke out. He was super cool and took pictures with anyone and everyone. He stayed for 2 hours. Was very cool.
Game- we were 6 rows up from Ags bench and the one thing that surprised me was that the players never seemed worried about losing. They were calm and confident on the sideline. Most of them very relaxed and some were joking around. Did notice Mond never smiled and Z Henderson just looked pissed all night. He came to play and was vocal on the sideline. After the interception Henderson came back to the stands to do an emphatic gator chomp a few dozen times
Pretty confident team. Even the calls and penalties that hurt never seemed to really bother this team. Ags seemed to believe they were better and going to win They proved it at the end..
Gigem.

Ditto for us. Friendly fans and we had no problems at all. I've about convinced myself that those who complain about other fans were drunk and obnoxious whenever they had "problems". Well... everywhere except Lubbock.
Not a pretty game, but our guys never quit. I was proud of the effort.

Yep. Fans were great everywhere we went, and their crowd was legit loud all game long.

With the exception of the immediate aftermath of that 70 yard QB scramble (understandably), the body language was great all night long.

You take out that 70 yard run and the inadvertent whistle and it's a blowout

Question for y'all..
in your best guess, how many Ags were there? Y'all sounded loud as hell on TV.

Thanks for sharing.
Henderson & Keke were monsters, going to miss them on that line.

I'll post a pic later. We have a full corner (like a slice of pie) and then a strip of about 4-8 rows from 20 to 20 behind our bench. Then there was a speckled throughout, but not too many.

Whenever the Aggie defense was in that end of the field they were waving their hands for more noise from the Ags over there. And getting it. Could also hear the yells clear as day.
12th Man did work in the Swamp

Gator alums told us A&M purchased full allotment of visitor tickets. They also thought a lot of the after market tickets had been bought by Ags. It seemed pretty loud to us when Ags had the ball. Florida fans after the game said we brought a lot of folks and made noise.
From the front page of sports section in Gainseville Sun morning titled “Gators not quite good enough”
quote:
As soon as the ball nestled into the arms of Texas A&M defender Tyrel Dodson, a tremendous roar went up from the corner of the end zone where Aggie fans were enjoying their first trip to the Swamp. It was so loud it was almost startling.
We brought the fans and the noise. Gigem!
