It's 4:00. Time to start cooking for the living room tailgate.
I am nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. I had forgotten what being nervous over a football game was like. The last time was the '99 National Championship. Seriously. After we lost the 2000 MNC to Oklahoma, I got the que sera, sera attitude. Finally, changes were made. New attitudes formed. And tonight, we get to see if any of it worked.
I know miracles don't happen overnight, and right now the old boy's school in Hogtown has the recruiting edge. I know Death Valley is a helluva place to play (sorry Kurt, BR and TFT - it IS louder than Fla Field, albeit not by much). I'm not looking for another dynasty. All I want is for there to be hope for the Garnet and Gold.
Should we lose - and it's a VERY real possibility, no matter what my buddies at The Territory say - please let me console myself with the fact that it is just a game, and at least our uniform colors aren't garish.
Should we win, no need to call the cops, as they will know where all the noise is coming from anyway.
Anyway, Scalp 'Em!
I'm going to go throw up now. :blush:

I hear ya, ShallowsNole! Not certain about the noise level.;-)

Now if you are betting your salary on the game, you should be nervous, but otherwise, drink some vodka and all well be well.

Now if you are betting your salary on the game, you should be nervous, but otherwise, drink some vodka and all well be well.I am TOTALLY serious about being nervous before games. I have been since the 70's when I was a student at UF. The problem is that (a) I really want UF to win, and (b) everyone will razz me if UF loses. Maybe it's been too long since Georgia has been in contention for you to remember how that is?;-)
Of course, this will come back to bite me. All good teams have their ups and downs. But while the Gators are on a roll, I like enjoying the ride.

Clemson is a neat place and a great atmosphere. I have been to games at both and you are mistaken. No doubt anyone else will tell you the same.
I'm afraid it will be a long, long, long time before Seminoles are truly happy again. It will really be tough to watch a Bowden lose tonight. 😀

I remember not being able to get tix for a really big Clemson game and just listening to the game on the car radio while sitting outside Clemson Memorial Stadium. My godchildren went to Clemson, so I guess I'll be for them.

The problem is that "B" happens because of "A". ;-)

Just kidding. All in fun. Like I've said, most of us in the SEC have had our ups and downs. Hubby said that Michigan's loss on Saturday to Appalachian State (hello?) was a wakeup call for the Gators vs Troy on Saturday. "Stuff" can happen.

The former president of the company for which my husband works is a huge UT fan. We have gotten into the habit of teasing him and other UT fans we know. As Gators, we've had our share of harrassment in the past. Nothing personal.😀

Just razzing you, too. I figured that is what you meant. I won't hold it against you unless TN beats FL then I will remind you. :rolling:
But that ain't likely to happen, so I think you are safe.
