It has been over a month since the Gator Nation has been able to watch its team play in the Swamp, and let me tell you, it was a rough stretch for the Orange and Blue to say the least. Nonetheless, the Florida faithful remain committed to the best school in the nation and continue to root for their beloved gridiron gang.
UF has lost three-straight games to fall below the .500 mark for the first time in the Dan Mullen era coming into Saturday’s matchup against the FCS Samford Bulldogs. However, these tough times are not quite as evident in the excitement that has been building up on social media ahead of the game, which despite an early start has been hopping all morning.
Here is a look at how the Gator Nation is getting revved up on Twitter for Saturday’s midday matchup in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium using the #GoGators hashtag.

Been a disappointing season, but still no other team I'd be behind. I'm going to continue to support these guys on the field and hope they finish out strong.
