I am a Florida alumnus and have attended Gator Growl for the past 11 years. This year I left sorely disappointed. My first and foremost complaint is that there were no fireworks. This is a tradition that we look forward to every year. Not to mention that the marching band didn't march, and the cheerleaders didn't cheer.
There were hardly any student skits and only one segment of the Gators "news." This year, the sound system sounded great, but there were hardly any skits to hear. The highlight was Danny Wuerffel, who stole the show and was funnier than the comedian. I hope next year is much better.
