For most of my life, I never understood, nor cared about, the game of football. Then Dan enrolled at UF and joined the Gator marching band. Of course, we traveled to Gainesville to see him on the field with his trumpet. I endured the blazing hot sun to get a glimpse of him in his uniform blasting out the strains of the fight song, and We Are The Boys of Old Florida. And guess what?!? I enjoyed the game! Since then I've become a huge Gator football fan, and when the whole country thought that my Gators didn't have a chance against Ohio State, I held firm that my blue and orange reptiles would win the BCS title. Only, I was wrong about the score. I predicted that it would be a very close game, and my Gators would be victorious by one or two points. Man, was I WRONG! UF totally trounced Ohio State! What a fun evening it was. Even though I was alone to watch the game, Mike and Dan and I kept the phone ringing through the evening. After major plays, I would wait for the phone to ring, or I would hit speed dial and connect with my fellow Gator family! Now we will all suffer gridiron withdrawal as we wait for the 2007 season to begin again in the fall.

GOOOOOOOOOO GATORS!
