On the contrary, I chose my words exactly as I wanted. Since "online" clubs aren't sanctioned, I can call it whatever I want to. If I want to refer to it as the "Global Swamp", I can do that, too. J As long as I don't start charging a fee for membership or marketing the "GatorNet" name, they don't care. Yes, they probably ignored it for the reason you mentioned.

We are not a Gator Club. The University of Florida authorizes and receives dues from Gator Clubs. UF was just protecting their intellectual property. They did it kindly by just ignoring the claim. A.

At the time, I had a Tampa Times afternoon paper route, and they were running a new subscriber contest for the paper boys. The winner received a trip to Gainesville with a chaperon for a football game. I won and my branch manager accompanied me on the trip. The exact second I stepped out of the shadows and into the stadium, I was so overcome with the moment, the crowd, and the experience, I became a lifelong Gator. I am now the administrator of the oldest (since 1989) and largest (over 750 members) online Gator club in existence - GatorNet.

Some may have to have the names hid to protect the guilty.

It is a nice little story about winning a contest for paper delivery boys to go to a football game in Florida Field, and that moment of first entering into the light of the stadium was when he became a Florida Gator. as the subject. -- 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 To unsubscribe from this group, send email to gatortalk+unsubscribegooglegroups.com or reply to this email with the words "REMOVE ME" as the subject. -- 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 To unsubscribe from this group, send email to gatortalk+unsubscribegooglegroups.com or reply to this email with the words "REMOVE ME" as the subject. -- 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 To unsubscribe from this group, send email to gatortalk+unsubscribegooglegroups.com or reply to this email with the words "REMOVE ME" as the subject.
