I've been lurking for years. I usually don't have much to personally contribute to conversations and I don't enjoy trolling or randomly getting into e-fights with people, so that means my post count here is abysmally small. I am okay with that.
As far as posting, I tend to post more on a Gator-specific forum. Otherwise, I talk football with friends and family more than folks on the Internet. Most of my online activity is in video game forums, honestly, because I'm a gigantic nerd.
Also, to the people saying UF fans were in FSU gear recently... bite your tongue. Maybe some of the FSU fairweathers jump on our bandwagon, but no real diehard Gator fan would ever be caught dead in FSU gear. I don't even engage in game bets with coworkers because I will burn in the firey depths of Hell before I will let anything FSU touch my body. Ever.
I was raised a Gator fan and have been one through the good years and the bad. There is no such thing as "fair weather" in my vocabulary, unless you are speaking of a beautiful Florida day where the heat isn't too oppressive and it's fair weather to go out and go fishing.
EDIT to add: As far as game attendance, we had 10 season tickets in our family. Then the booster fees got up to outrageous and most the family let them go, one by one. It was really sad because I usually got to go on someone's ticket every home game growing up. Now, as an adult, I can't get in on that since they are all gone and I can't be grandfathered in. So, instead, I pick up tickets to a few key SEC home games when I can. I show up before the game starts, scream the whole time, and leave long after the clock hits 0:00 in the 4th quarter.
