She can always make the 3 hour drive to the Northwoods Gator Club in Minneapolis! I am suprised that Des Moines doesn't have a Gator Club. I know of a few Gators down that way, I bet her best bet would be to try and start a new Gator Club. Locate a local sports bar and tell them you will bring 20-30 of your friends and they will be happy to set aside a place to watch. This is Big Televen country, it's not like it's hard to get into a sports bar on a Saturday... Ken Kirkley <mailto:k...@kirkley.net> MNGator

I will pass that on. She says there are die hard fans in Des Moines, take a look: When wearing Gator gear, I've been stopped, or stopped people many, many times here. I met one guy in the grocery store who bought a hat on campus and then got on the field and rubbed his hat on the turf! LOL! Now there's a serious fan!!

If she is rich enough to take out a color ad - tell her to move to Raleigh, NC and she can watch the games at my place ;-) 1. Contact the local sports bars to see which ones have a gator club 2. Contact the UF alumni association and tell them that you would like to to start a club and see if they will hel by sending out notices <http://www.ufalumni.ufl.edu/GatorClubs/find/> http://www.ufalumni.ufl.edu/GatorClubs/find/ -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [gatortalk] Des Moines From: "jfranl" <jfr...@earthlink.net> Date: Sun, July 26, 2009 10:54 pm To: <Gatortalk@googlegroups.com> I have a really good Gator friend that lives in Des Moines. Does anyone know if they have any watching parties and where they may be located? She already has a plan. I don't see any flaws, do you guys? Fran Football season....here's my plan: I thought I'd take out a color ad in the newspaper seeking Gator fans in Des Moines so we could start a Gator club here. Then I'd see which one of the "new members" that show up, has a large screen tv. Then the club dues could go towards purchasing a football package for said person and we could all watch games at that person's house. How does that sound? Think it would work, or do I have flaws in my plan? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
