I bleed Orange and Blue

I have had sufficient time to recover now from our win over Ohio State last Monday. What a fabulous game! It was simply amazing to watch the Gators dominate a team that everyone thought was unbeatable. I feel that this truly shows that the SEC is the best conference in college football and the Gators are the best team.

Grant and I made the trip down to Gainesville to watch the game with some of our good friends. If we couldn't go to Arizona the next best thing was to watch it at UF. We left Jacksonville at around 5PM and met our friends at the O'Connell Center to watch the game surrounded by 10,000 Gators. Everyone was given a free "It's Great to Be a Florida Gator" tee-shirt, size large of course!



Before the game the crowd was quite lively. But after that first play, with the blatent hold and OSU touchdown, everyone was silent. That did not last long, however, as the crowd was completely into it again on the next Gator drive.



After the game Grant, me, Erin, Beau, Ashley and Charlie, along with every other Gator in Gainesville, found ourselves on University Avenue. We were all taking photos and screaming! It really is Great to be a Florida Gator!!
