I'm torn as well! I agree the bye week has more to do w/UF's recent dominance than the venue itself, not to mention superior coaching in the evil genius era.
Jacksonville offers great tradition, a great atmosphere, great weather (usually--calling for some rain this Sat.), & a great venue for tailgating & the game itself. Nothing like seeing a stadium 1/2 red & black and 1/2 blue & orange.
That said, I do think that anybody who doesn't acknowledge that UF has a slight home field advantage given the proximity to the campus in Gainsville (75 miles) versus the campus in Athens (360 miles) is on some really bad meds
C'mon now GATOR fans, admit it, you know it's true!
Regardless, I'm so excited about getting out of town come Friday that I am honestly happy to be heading down to Jacksonville once again!
Sorry, but I can't say I'd be very thrilled to visit the mullet-infested Swamp down in Gainesville
