Go Gators

At least after today's cringing game we can still say that with pride. Last week we did go tailgating at the LSU vs UF game on LSU's campus. (yes, I braved the campus after the goalpost incident of '97)

Mike parked the truck the night before and covered the Gator head decal, the next morning his coworker went out and set up the tent and we got there a little after 9AM. It was still drizzly and the weather man lied about the temperature (it never came close to 80). But all of us were out there in our Gator shirts and hats braving the taunts of "TIGER BAIT". They seriously they need to find a better taunt and stop stealing our chant. Many Tigers knew that they were not going to win and many just stopped by to see if we had any insight to the Tebow concussion situation. Around noon Van was getting tired (after a walk to go see Mike the Tiger who was not in his habitat) and the thoughts of "I am sitting outside in the rain under a tent in a folding chair to watch TV??? I could be doing this at home." was getting louder and louder in my head.

We left to go home to nap and be ready for our neighbor Austin's 3rd birthday party. Still in our Gator gear we braved the party full of LSU fans. I think Casey got the most teasing with the secret wispers in his ear of growing up to be a Tiger while he was passed from neighbor to neighbor.

We now have the bragging rites of winners for the next year which means a lot living in Tiger Country.
