(Me in "The Swamp" UF-FSU 2009)

I finally made it up to Gainesville this past Thanksgiving weekend to see the first live college football game, since my days at K-State as i watched the KSU Wildcats run the Big12 (yeah… its been a while). The Gators were playing interstate rival FSU and im sorry to the fine people at Kansas State, but the whole “Gators” thing was kind of a spectacle like i have never seen. I am not sure if it was the whole Florida Interstate rivalry, or it being Tim Tebow’s last game at home as UF’s Quarterback, or if it was Southern SEC Football or even just how enjoyable my girlfriend and her brother made Gainesville itslef, but i was quite impressed to say the least. Just wanted to thank Aileen’s brother Shane again for hooking us up with the tickets and both of them for a truly great experience up in Gainesville.
