As is the tradition, the Florida Gators will meet the Florida State Seminoles on the college football gridiron today as the two schools continue a storied rivalry that has been in decline over the last decade. Still, this is a game that both fanbases have circled on their calendars, and regardless of where either team sits in the standings, is almost always a tough matchup.
Last season’s game was canceled by COVID but UF and FSU resume the series this year in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. Two years separated from the last meeting, the Gator Nation is champing at the bit for a shot at their in-state rivals from Tallahassee.
Here is a look at how the Orange and Blue faithful are revving up on Twitter for Saturday’s noon game against their in-state rivals FSU using the #GoGators hashtag.
