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!

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.
