I Heart Gainesville #2

TOP TEN REASONS WHY I LOVE GAINESVILLE:

2) FOOTBALL SEASON - With a seating capacity of 88,000, and record attendance levels over 90,000 fans, the electricity in THE SWAMP during a home game cannot be beat.

The University of Florida will open its 100th year of collegiate football [today] when the Gators host the Southern Miss Golden Eagles at 6 p.m. [EST]. Coach Urban Meyer begins his second season in Gainesville trying to build on last season's 9-3 record -- which concluded with the Gators winning four of their last five games, including a 31-24 victory over Iowa in the Outback Bowl. Two major areas of concern for Meyer and the Gators this season are -- winning road games and establishing the pecking order at the running back position. With games at Tennessee, Auburn, and Florida State it will not be easy, but Meyer feels his team will be up for the challenge. ---Matt Lowe, LindysSports.com
