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!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
