I actually wrote Star at the UF Alumni Asso and asked about a new club. Facebook might be another angle and also the GNN part of the UF Alumni Association, which is like a social networking site, I think. Hey, this is the way clubs get started. She is my Ex's little sister, and the poor girl has been a Gator fan for about 20 years or more and had never been to a game. Two years ago I took her to FSU game. I thought she was going to pass out when they ran on the field. She stood up in the middle of the first quarter and spread her arms and said, "I have met my people" . I love to take people to their first game, it is an experience of a lifetime.

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 -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
