re: Gator fan coming to visit, wants to maximize the experience.

I'm with you, nickelbeer. I live in Connecticut, and pick one game every year, usually a road game. I picked Baton Rouge for 2009 while in Jax last year for the cocktail party, knowing even then that this would be the Gators biggest test of the SEC schedule.

I tell you what, if I'm treated half as well on Saturday as everyone has treated me here, I know I'll have a great time.

To all those who've invited me to their tailgates, I appreciate the hospitality and will try to take you up on it. While beer is always a good icebreaker, does anyone have any requests for something stronger? I've always been partial to Southern Comfort or Jameson's myself, but if you have a preference, let me know.

Count Chocula, unless you are really desperate for tix, you wouldn't want mine. Section 633. We'll be on the 25 yard line, but may be looking DOWN at the light towers!!

For sure, a day of good weather, good food and good fun would be complemented with a Gator win, but would also ease the sting of a Gator loss.

Thanks again, everyone, hope to see some of you on Saturday, especially MIKE THE TIGER!!
