So for all of you who are not aware of my obsession with college football, well now you know! I grew up in a household that was filled with you gorgeous colors: ORANGE & BLUE!
My dad had gotten a few degrees there, one at the same time that Steve Spurrier was also attending the University of Florida! Although my mom wasn't crazy about me going to a large, public university I think she knew there was no hope in trying to deny me of truly becoming a gator.
My four years at the University of Florida were some of the very best for college sports, 4 national championships within four years! Let's just say I got VERY use to winning! Unfortunately my graduation day did come and I had to leave, but being a gator as the saying goes, stays with you for a lifetime!
When I came up to the DC area I was quickly welcomed with a large array of Gator alums and quickly felt at home!! Its nice to see the orange and blue even after leaving the state of Florida!
So this all being said..you can only imagine my excitement for this weekend! I will not lie and say there arent a few nervous bones in my body, but I am a Gator through and through and believe that we can win, even without Tebow, or Percy, we are the Gators and we WIN!!
For those of you who are not familiar with this epic game and tradition here is a great article explaining the importance of the game: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/columns/story?columnist=forde_pat&id=5633826
So to all my Gator fans out there.. Give me a ORANGE, BLUE, ORANGE, BLUE!!!
