The football gods have seen fit to hook me up with a ticket to the Bama vs. UF game this week, and I'm driving down to Gainesville this Friday.
I've never been to a game inside another SEC venue before so I'm pretty excited. Anyone got any survival tips? The ticket is in the UF student section so do I need to worry about getting shanked/pelted with things? What are some of the cool places to hang out at before the game?

Win the game and hook up with a Gator cheerleader. The experience is commonly known as "the Drunken Tebow"

Key the plaque that has Tebow's "promise" on it.

No, unless you intend on being an over-the-top, belligerent douche. There were plenty of TN fans in the student section two weeks ago, and they were fine. I can't speak for the ACRs and sidewalk fans that are out and about, but the actual students love a good game and getting loud, but aren't particularly violent.

Good advice.

how'd you get a UF student ticket? Do you have a Gator1 id card? cause you'll need one to get in....the ticket won't get you in alone.

I've been to every SEC stadium except Arkansas and Florida (and now Texas A&M!). Some general suggestions;
- You're in their house. Act like a guest. Cheer for your team, but don't be an arse.
- There will likely be some super assholes, especially if they win. Ignore them with a "good game" or something. They go away quickly.
- Scout out their traditions. I like seeing what each school does, even if it's just for message board smack later.
- Find a local place to eat and wear your shite. You'll usually get some good football talk.
- Walk through tailgating areas, but with a good attitude (no chip on your shoulder). Some of my best times have been bs'ing with the other guys.

Stay at the knight's inn...
do a lot of drugs...
go visit university club after the game.
When you wake up next to a man with his junk taped up in his butt, you'll know you just spent the weekend in Gainesville.
Now GTFO.
