Florida students begin camping out at popular bar before national championship game

Florida students are ready to watch the Gators play for a national championship. Some might say it just means more in Gainesville less than 24 hours before tipoff in San Antonio.
Some UF students did not need long to decide where they want to watch Florida take on Houston for the national title. Numerous tents have popped up outside of The Swamp, the iconic sports bar restaurant that has been a popular spot with students, alumni and campus visitors for decades in multiple locations.

Those camping out will have to be a bit patient and will have to wait until Monday afternoon to get situated at The Swamp for the title clash.
Plenty of fun was had on Sunday, when Florida defeated Auburn to secure a spot in the championship game.
The party will kick into high gear if the Gators secure the 3rd national title in Florida basketball history. UF last won the NCAA Tournament in 2007, completing a back-to-back run under Billy Donovan.
