So as some of you undoubtedly know, the Florida Gators won the 2006 NCAA National Championship tonight (for the first time). This rocks. While I stayed sober for the first night in months (exam tomorrow, among other things), I have never seen this city get so insane; it was like Mardi Gras. I watched the game initially downtown to avoid the massive crowds in Midtown (where the more popular bars are), but afterwards I went out to investigate...
...what I found was a 6-block stretch of University Avenue blocked off by police, with half of the population contained inside. It was insane--this 4-lane street was packed with students and alumni alike, with barely any room to move. People were climbing light posts, starting mosh pits, throwing around rolls of toilet paper...and, from the window of an upstairs bar called Grogg, girls were flashing their tits and making out with eachother (ew, right?)
I only managed to snap two quick pictures from the street with my phone, but here they are (this is a picture from an intersection):
PS how the hell do you upload in SMF?
