Frustrated fan in the 3rd level, UF alumnus

I have one question - whatever happened to the Rowdy Reptiles?

When I was a student at UF, the O'Dome was electric. It started when the doors opened and we raced down into our seats two hours before the game.

It didn't matter that we had to wait a while for tipoff; we just had to secure our seats in the front row.

A couple of times I think I even knocked over a couple of people racing down the bleachers!

We always had fun. We would razz the opponents during warm-ups and Lee Humphrey used to let us shoot three-pointers before the game.

Simply put, the experience was the absolute best.

Now that I have graduated, I still make it to every game. I leave my job and race to the arena, only to see empty seats just 45 minutes before the game. I can't believe the "House of Horrors" has sunk to this level.

It is terrible. We have a great team that already has 18 wins and we're currently leading the SEC East.

What else do the students want Billy and the boys to do?
