11 Emotions Every Gator Fan Felt During The Ole Miss Game

In honor of the Florida Gators beating third-ranked Ole Miss this past weekend and subsequently moving up to number 11 (that is right, that is higher than FSU), here are 11 emotions every fan in The Swamp felt during the game.

1. Overwhelming happiness for the family of Chief Warrant Officer Kristian Denkins. His family thought they were being honored before the game for Denkins' service to the country during his fifth tour of duty in Afghanistan. Little did they know, it was really a homecoming surprise. As Denkins' video finished playing on the big screen, he ran out in full uniform to surprise his family.

2. Excitement for each third down, because it was time for the "money down" dance.

3. Agreement with Gator great and Hall of Famer Emitt Smith as he questioned the referees on a penalty called against Florida wide receiver Chris Thompson's hit on an Ole Miss defensive back during a kickoff return.

4. Ecstatic when Gators wide receiver Brandon Powell caught a pass from quarterback Will Grier... and went 77 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter.

5. And all smiles again when Florida wide receiver Demarcus Robinson went 36yards for a touchdown off a pass from Grier.

6. Anticipation when it got close to half time and Gator fans everywhere started believing we would really win this game!

7. Joy when Florida defensive lineman Cece Jefferson recovered a fumble by Ole Miss quarterback Chad Kelly.

8. Awe when Gators cornerback Vernon Hargreaves III made an interception in the fourth quarter.

9. Unfazed by the misty rain that started fall in the Swamp towards the end of the game. All 90,000 plus fans stayed exactly where they were.

10. Elated when the clock ran down to 0:00 and the Gators had toppled Ole Miss 38-10.

11. Most importantly, proud to be a Florida Gator, because if you are not a gator... you are GATOR BAIT!

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:
