When my daughter was 5, a friend at UF took us to a State v UF baseball game in Gainesville. His wife worked in the athletic department, and he worked at the Musuem of Natural History. My daughter got royal treatment from the UF baseball team and tennis teams and they hooked her as a fan. It was all UF. She even wore Gator clothes to the 2010 football game in Gainesville. Have a great post game pic of her and her maroon clad little brother making fun of her after the loss. Kids are kids. They like who they like. My only rule is not a penny would go to buying Ole Miss gear or Ole Miss tuition.

That little Gator fan is now a freshman at State, and a maroon blooded bulldog.
