I'm sure I've told that story here before. One of the girls had some pompoms and kept intentionally (obviously intentionally) shaking them right on my head when Bama had one or two decent plays at the beginning of the game. Finally, about halfway through the 2nd quarter, my inner Gator Bad Grrrrl stood up and said, "Girl, if you hit me in the head with those @)#$(#$% pompoms again, I'm gonna take them away from you and kick your @$$." She looked quite stunned that a nearly 40 year old woman would say and do such a thing, but... well... there it is. LOL. It's a good thing I hadn't been drinking. At halftime, my 15 year old daughter and I went to the restroom and stopped to look at some of the Gator memorabilia. Pompom Girl's boyfriend approached me and started chastising me for "cussin' at his girlfriend". I turned my back on him and told him he'd better leave me alone. Fortunately, my sister had seen him leave his seat right after we did so she came looking for us... with a policeman. She had already told him the whole story so he was watching the confrontation at the souvenir table and came over and told the guy to leave me alone. LOL. Little did he know. ;-) It was all a moot point anyway because they got really quiet after halftime... and left well before the game was over. I don't think Pompom Girl picked up those annoying things again for the duration of their stay.

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.

I don't remember seeing you there, Randy! ;-) Cee ----- Original Message ----- From: Gatornet Admin To: GatorTalk Sent: Friday, December 05, 2008 1:02 PM Subject: [gatortalk] Re: [gatornews] [SUN]: Florida fans outnumbered (Crabbe) 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.
