It is almost game time and the excitement ahead of Florida football’s meeting with the South Florida Bulls has been a rising crescendo all morning. While the weather is a bit soggy in Tampa today, a bit of inclement weather will not dampen the zeal of the Gator Nation.
Ahead of a matchup that favors Florida significantly, the university and its fans have jumped to social media and shared their sentiments as their beloved Orange and Blue takes the field for its second game of the 2021 campaign. Below is a healthy sampling of the many tweets sent out in the 24 hours preceding game time as the fanbase gets hyped. We will continue updating until kickoff.
