FSU vs. UF

The game started good for both teams. UF scored (BOO!) but FSU followed quickly with a FG (YAY!). It kind of just went downhill after that. We (FSU) did ok keeping close until the second quarter and then it was disappointment after fumble after dropped pass after interception. You can't win a game with FGs when the other team is scoring TDs. I thought things would get better after halftime but I was very wrong. The conditions were very rainy but the ball was wet for both teams and yet the Gators actually held onto it. According to ESPN, "The Gators pretty much ran out the clock in the final quarter and a half." So there ya go...

On a positive note, a good friend of mine from high school stopped by on her way back to her home in B'ham. She was able to watch about 3 quarters of the game with me and we talked about how everyone is doing now and plans for the future. Did I mention that she is a Gator fan?? Buck was not there in person but he was certainly there in spirit. Even though he did get to watch it in Iraq, I got to hear it from her :) Hopefully I'll make it up to B'ham to visit her and go to the zoo or see some sights. BTW - the final score was 45-15 - BLEAH!! ... and then Buck called ...
Added 12/1/08 - I forgot to inform everyone that at intermittent points during the game, Bucky would say "touchdown" and throw his hands up in the air. At other times, he simply did circles or his impression of a Sumo Wrestler.
