I sat in the middle of the Bama fans. My daughter and I were a constant
irritation to them by our whooping and hollering and high fiving. I'll never
forget the woman in front of us who stayed seated the entire game with a
worried look on her face and kept rubbing a little plastic elephant with her
thumb. She (and her party) vanished at the end of the game. I REALLY enjoyed
walking down the ramp and chanting "It's GREAT to BE a FLORIDA GATOR!" with all
the gators afterward. :-)
Ah, memories... Wish I were going to be there tomorrow.

Although I've been to a lot of SECCG's, the only one I've been to where we
played Bama was in 1994. It was an absolutely fantastic time, but one thing I
DO remember is being outnumbered by the Bama fans. It was easily a 3:1 ratio or
maybe even worse.
My opinion is that the Bama fans snatched up the bulk of the SEC's tickets
(not the tickets that go to the schools) in '92 & '93 when the game was in
Birmingham and has renewed their order each year, thus holding onto the ticket.
I used to be one of those, but I missed renewing my order one year (I had moved
and my form was lost in the mail) and have been trying to get back in the
rotation ever since.
