Support for the (1) Florida Gators (36-2) has been strong throughout the season and especially the 2014 NCAA Tournament.
It continued on Saturday after the team advanced to the Final Four for the fifth time in school history and first time since 2007 with a 62-52 Elite Eight win over the (11) Dayton Flyers (26-11) at the FedEx Forum in Memphis, TN.
Check out the pictures, tweets and videos below for a comprehensive look at what former and current Gators had to say before, during and after the game. OnlyGators.com has also added a few other choice contributions that fit in with the overall theme.

I’d like to see more of that Charles Barkley clip. He’s not much of a Gator fan. Was he being a smart ass or something?
That’s the whole thing. No, he was picking Florida.
Wouldn’t expect an Auburn grad to be a Gator fan but he kept saying all along that Florida was better than Dayton and there was nothing the Flyers could do about it.
Hey Adam, thanks for all the coverage! You do top notch work. Has this current run with our bball team caused any ripples in recruiting? Any chance we pull a big name down the stretch?
Hasn’t made much of a difference yet. And thanks.
Ironic how the week that a judge allows players to unionize (bad decision IMO, but beside the point), how quickly the NCAA got out its registered t-shirts/hats/etc. to make as many $ off of the moment as possible.
