[gatortalk] Re: We're the #1 team in the nation ?!?!
That's fine with us, Mary; but, we may have better options. Entrance to the Alumni Association at Emerson Hall is free for members but costs $20 for non-members just to enter. If you are a member of your local Gator Club you may be a member of the UFAA. A single annual membership is $40, family $50. You must have your UFAA membership card or photo ID to enter without paying the $20. Once inside, you find air-conditioning, immaculately clean restrooms, several areas with large projection screen TV's, and a lunch which is for sale at a reasonable price. This opens 3 hours prior to kickoff. If that is everyone's choice as a meeting place, I suggest we meet at 12:30 PM. Paula and I will leave at 1:30 PM to attend the Gator Booster Pre-Game Reception in the O'Dome. If we have enough Gator Boosters in attendance we can all go over to that with the non-members going as guests of the members present. That way, no one would be charged for anything. A free lunch is served. If that works out, we might want to skip the Alumni Association gathering. A.

[gatortalk] Re: We're the #1 team in the nation ?!?!
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.

I did, and the only comment came from a Texas fan. He believes we'll be playing them in Pasadena, so he smiled broadly and said we're still #1 #2!. All the Tenn fans either dropped their eyes or looked away, but a few of them growled. Our pastor is a rabid vol, and when they win, he always mentions it in his sermon.

[gatortalk] our seats this year
So... my husband found a way to get season tickets last year and this year - eBay. Our seats last year were fabulous... seatbacks in the north endzone, section 326, 3-4 rows from the last row of seatbacks, surrounded by enthusiastic, non-obnoxious Gators. The story from our eBay seller last year was interesting. He and his wife were getting a divorce and couldn't agree on who would get the tickets... so they were selling them and splitting the proceeds. The people around us were nice enough, but they seemed to be a bit resentful that the couple they had been sitting with for years wasn't there. Hmm. I kept meaning to ask here if anyone was close to us, but I also kept forgetting to do so. LOL. This year, I'm remembering to ask! :-) Our tickets this year - from another wonderful eBay seller. His story is that he's in Pennsylvania, has been battling an illness and isn't able to make it to the games... but, of course, he doesn't want to lose his seats! We're in the south endzone, section 53, row 81. We like the people around us, and they've been pretty congenial to us so far. The only down side of these seats is that the opponent's band is so close, they drown out the Gator band. I was keenly aware of Troy's band's continued goal of playing over the Pride of the Sunshine all day yesterday. I guess they were trying to make up for the way the Gators were stomping the crap out of their football team. ;-) Is anyone else close to that area?

[gatortalk] Re: our seats this year
My mom's tickets are in the south endzone. I know what you mean about the band. I have wondered about piping the band into the stadium speakers instead of any recorded music. This would drown out the opposing team fans and band altogether - that might be cool, but I digress. I can't remember the section right now, but the row is the 2nd row of chair backs, just under the overhang. I plan to be there for the Vandy game, will get exact seat locations then.

[gatortalk] RE: [gatornews] [News-journalonline.com] Gator football fans, this book's for you
Amazon has it for $28.76 plus a couple of other historical books on UF. Original Message Subject: [gatornews] [News-journalonline.com] Gator football fans, thisbook's for youFrom: "dbadr...@gmail.com" dbadr...@gmail.comDate: Sun, September 13, 2009 6:29 pmTo: gatorn...@googlegroups.com SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2009 September 13, 2009 Gator football fans, this book's for you By MARK GIBBINS Special to The News-Journal The timing of this book could not be more fortuitous. As the defending National Champions and winners of two of the past three BCS titles, the University of Florida is enjoying success on a scale unprecedented in their history. If that isn't enough, fan excitement may be at an all-time high because the Gators enter this season as the No. 1-ranked team and the odds-on favorite to repeat as National Champions. Add to that the prospect of UF's first undefeated season and the cult status of quarterback Tim Tebow, and most would agree that in 2009 it is great to be a Florida Gator. "Historic Photos Of University Of Florida Football" by Kevin McCarthy is a coffee-table book that pictorially depicts Gator football throughout the years. It contains more than 200 oversized pages and includes many never-before-published photos. The book is organized chronologically, as one might expect, from the founding of the University of Florida to the present day. A brief narrative and an 1884 sketch of Gainesville cover the period from 1853 to 1899. From 1900 on, black-and-white photos with accompanying explanatory information trace the progression of time. Interesting tidbits are sprinkled throughout the book, such as the 1922 team's trip to the White House and meeting with President Warren G. Harding. Or, that the announcer for the first game at Florida Field was Red Barber, then a Florida student. The captioning is occasionally cheesy, however, as in this bit of hyperbole: "The cheerleaders were usually skilled gymnasts who could leap and do breathtaking cartwheels." Breathtaking cartwheels? Not all years are equal and one might expect memorable years to receive more attention than not-so-memorable ones, but that is not necessarily the case with this book. The content often seems to be determined more by the availability of photos than the relative weight of the subject matter. Inexplicably, there is only one post-1996 photograph. It isn't as if there were no Florida football milestones after that point; say two National Championships (2006 and 2008), and a Heisman Trophy for a certain Mr. Tebow (2007). Another puzzling characteristic is the absence of color photographs. The bright colors and pageantry of college football would have added excitement to the pages and visually accentuated the transition from the primitive gridiron battlefield to the lavishness and spectacle of today's Coliseum. After reading the book, I don't feel greatly more knowledgeable about the subject matter -- I feel like I've learned the answers to a lot of trivia questions -- but it was an enjoyable read nonetheless. While "Historic Photos Of University Of Florida Football" may not be compelling, it is interesting. Die-hard Gator fans (are there any other kind?) will enjoy it.

Oh, he will have to pay for it, I think the bill is coming due in 6 days In fact, he was downright tickled when he heard the Gators had put his words up in their football complex. He actually said, Beautiful. Awesome. Wonderful. They even put our logo on it. Free advertising and we didn't have to pay for it.

All we need to remember about the enormity of the UF-Tennessee game next weekend is a little quote the Tennessee coach said after he was hired. You remember the one: I'm really looking forward to embracing some of the great traditions at the University of Tennessee, for instance the Vol Walk, running through the T, singing Rocky Top all night long after we beat Florida next year. It will be a blast. The Gators blew it up and posted it in their football complex in the spring, though it is no longer up now. So there is no need to buy all the politically correct statements coming out of The Swamp after the Gators' 56-6 win over Troy. UF-Tennessee is always a big game. But this is sure to be one of the most anticipated games at The Swamp in recent memory. Surely, it's the most anticipated in the rivalry since 2001, when No. 5 Tennessee beat No. 2 UF in a game postponed until December because of 9-11, denying the Gators a shot at the national title. Now, the Gators would love nothing more than to shut Kiffin up. The Gators have won four straight in this rivalry. And let's be honest, the game was starting to become a dud, what with Tennessee falling from the top tier of the SEC East as the Gators made their ascent back. Along comes Kiffin to inject the right spark at the right time. Not only did he make those inflammatory remarks, he then accused Meyer of cheating during the recruitment of Nu'Keese Richardson, who switched his commitment from UF to Tennessee at the last possible moment. A brouhaha erupted. Kiffin had to apologize for the false accusations, but he repeatedly has said he is not sorry for poking the bear. In fact, he was downright tickled when he heard the Gators had put his words up in their football complex. He actually said, Beautiful. Awesome. Wonderful. They even put our logo on it. Free advertising and we didn't have to pay for it. Gator fans have wanted a merciless beat down ever since Kiffin started fanning the flames. A company started printing T-shirts in April that read, Memo to Lane Kiffin. Be scared. Very scared. The beat down is near! Message boards have been filled with fans urging Meyer to run up the score, to make Kiffin pay in the only real way he can. They want a record-setting trouncing. Tennessee struggled and lost against UCLA on Saturday, so it could happen. The largest margin of victory the Gators have posted over Tennessee is 39, in 2007. They scored 62 in a win in 1995. Fans want blood. Guarantee the Gators do, too, even if nobody will say it. Jeff Demps and David Nelson both gave tepid no-comments when asked whether there would be extra motivation for the game this week. Meyer addressed the start of Rivalry Week in the locker room after the game, where players emphatically said the season begins now. Meyer said practice Tuesday would be the hardest practice we'll ever have. In the spring, Meyer did acknowledge that Kiffin's comments were enough to fire him up. But now that game-time is near, he refused to pull a Kiffin and start talking trash. I want to make sure this game is about the Tennessee football players versus the Florida football players, Meyer said. The thing that will never happen around here is it's about coach or coaches. I told them this is preparation for playing a game. Period. Linebacker Ryan Stamper admitted he was already thinking about Tennessee, but said nothing more of the game. Tim Tebow was asked how long it took for Meyer to address Tennessee in the locker room. It took a little bit, he said with a sly grin, ducking out before he could be questioned any further. Nothing more needed to be said, really. Come next Saturday, the final score will be enough.

His story is that he's in Pennsylvania, has been battling an illness and isn't able to make it to the games... but, of course, he doesn't want to lose his seats! We're in the south endzone, section 53, row 81. We like the people around us, and they've been pretty congenial to us so far. The only down side of these seats is that the opponent's band is so close, they drown out the Gator band. I was keenly aware of Troy's band's continued goal of playing over the Pride of the Sunshine all day yesterday. I guess they were trying to make up for the way the Gators were stomping the crap out of their football team. ;-) Is anyone else close to that area?

Our two permanent seats are Section 55, Row 88. In fact, we are the third and fourth seats to the east of the big SEZ tower, two rows from the top. We've been up there for 24 years. - Original Message - From: Cecilia gator...@bellsouth.net To: gatortalk@googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, September 13, 2009 9:20 PM Subject: [gatortalk] Re: our seats this year Not too far away. :-) Cee - Original Message - From: gogat...@esn.net To: gatortalk@googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, September 13, 2009 9:17 PM Subject: [gatortalk] Re: our seats this year Section 65 row 60 GoGators!!!
