The opponent was pretty irrelevant on a glorious Saturday night in the Swamp. Heck, the media members and UF staff workers are still arguing over whether to call it McNeese or McNeese State.

McNeese and McNeese State both offered that.
And after a week of the Gators and Billy Napier being treated like low-hanging fruit by the so-called experts, it was nice for UF fans to walk out of that building with a smile.
We also were not fooled. We know what is coming.
