First off, this was the most fans I have seen travel yet this year. There is no doubt we had more fans in Gainesville than we had in Baton Rouge. Our fans completely took over"The Swamp"bar across the street from the stadium. Florida fans could not get over how well we traveled, and I heard quite a few say "Damn, LSU didn't even bring this many fans last week". It was very impressive and made me very proud of our fans.Props to the drunkfans at the bar for starting the "Hey, Go State" cheer numerous times... it was loud and obnoxious!!!Great day to be a dawg!
Also, our fans were very vocal at the game. Very odd that the UF players and coaches came out the same gate as our team after the game. The look on Meyer's face driving through the 1000+ State fans waiting on our team after the game was priceless! Enough can't be said about the passion and enthusiasim of Coach Mullen. He took time to take pictures with all the fans, and just thanked us for our suppport.He just continously kept thanking fan after fan. He is a class act.
One more thing, we stopped by Florida State on the way back to Biloxi. It was my first time to tour their campus, and I must say it was VERY impressive. Doak Campbell Stadium looks like a freaking gothic Cathedral from the outside. Evidentally most of their administration offices are housed in buildings that line the perimeter of the stadium. I was also told that it is the largest brick structure in the United States. Must say, despite being a bit ghetto on the outskirts, FSU's campus is one of the nicest I have seen. (Notre Dame is still tops in my book though.)
Great weekend for the Maroon and White! HAIL STATE!!!
