It was indeed nice to get to spend a few minutes with Paula and Leon yesterday!
As far as having an "off-year" GatorTalk get together (the next "official" picnic is scheduled to be held next year) the Alumni Association tailgate is a nice and easy option - it's air conditioned, food and drink are available, and there are big screens airing other games/ESPN Gameday in conference rooms, but unless you're a "card carrying" UAA member there is an admission fee. If I knew who was coming and for how long (I'm sure that many on here have their own tailgating traditions) I'd be willing to bring a grill and cook burgers, brats, dogs, etc. at some TBD on campus tailgate spot as a prt of our normal game day. The only game that I don't have tickets for is Saturday's UT game (at least as of right now) so if any of you decide to meet up for that one I'll have to be there in spirit only. If we want to emulate last year's picnic with a post-game cookout the FIU game could provide an opportunity to do so - it's a likely candidate for a noon kickoff, it should be a little cooler/less mosquito friendly, and ticket availability probably won't be a big issue. Absent any of that, I'll be glad to provide my cell # by request in private email, and if you happen to find yourself on campus with time to kill, any of you can call me and I'll let you know where we're at and what we're doing in case you'd like to stop by and say "hi".

To: gatortalk@googlegroups.com Date: Sunday, September 13, 2009, 9:54 AM Paula and I enjoyed running into Steve McKibben at the Alumni Association Pre-Game Gathering. Steve made a good suggestion: GatorTalkers could agree on a meeting spot and time prior to one of the up-coming home games. Anyone interested? Paula and I attend all of the games, so make suggestions if interested. A.

I enjoyed the game tremendously from Helen's seats (Thanks Helen!). I'm glad I brought a change of clothes and a towel with me. I didn't have a pancho, not even a Sear's one! --- On Sat, 9/12/09, Arthur Polhill <lpolh...@bellsouth.net> wrote: Yes, thank God for the poncho. It wasn't heavy, but it was steady and long.
