It didn’t take long once word spread that there was a fire at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium for the same joke to bounce around social media.
Reports quickly surfaced that it involved a golf cart, dumpster inside the stadium and maintenance tractor. Regardless of the cause, and no one appeared to be harmed, college football fans let loose with the comedy.
Rival SEC fans, and Florida fans themselves recalling earlier moments in the program history, returned lobs to one another about the incident.

“Dumpster fire” and “Ben Hill Griffin Stadium is on fire” in the same sentence. Does anyone need to add anything to the headline? pic.twitter.com/nfndkA1dz3
