It wasn't quite that bad. But, it was bad. Florida fans comprised roughly 5% of all those in attendance last night.

It’s not the Wildcat fans or the SEC. It’s the scalpers. They are making a killing here because Kentucky fans are attacking the streets in droves. The loudest roar for the opening game came when the big screen showed Kentucky players watching from the stands. In order, here’s what I have seen as far as the most fans in Nashville. 1. Kentucky fans with tickets. 2. Kentucky fans looking to buy tickets. 3. Kentucky fans who can’t afford tickets but want to be here anyway. 4. Tennessee fans. 5. Vanderbilt fans (it is Nashville after all). 6. Everybody else. Truth is I have yet to see a Florida fan that is not employed by the University Athletic Association or related to Billy Donovan. I’m sure they’re all waiting for game time. Not. That said, tonight’s game is vital for UF. The more I talk to people and watch the results of other tournaments, the more I’m convinced Florida is in the NCAA Tournament with a win tonight. We’ll see. -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us
