#1 Florida Gators vs Arkansas Razorbacks

#1 Florida Gators vs Arkansas Razorbacks
Saturday 12:30 PST
Spitfire Only


Howdy Gators:
We have decided to view the Arkansas game together at Spitfire this week. We look forward to having our Sideline Gators visit our Seattle Swamp. It's an exciting place to view the game and we will have a fired up Seattle Gator crowd.

We will be raffling off the Urban Meyer autographed football at halftime. Tickets are $2 each with a maximum of 320 tickets to be sold. Plenty of tickets still remain. The ball and trophy case will be on display at the game. All proceeds from the raffle go to the scholarship fund. Bring your Alumni membership cards to the game. We will have a special raffle for our Alumni Members to thank them for their membership. We received a check in the amount of $513 from the UF Alumni Association as a rebate from their alumni membership dues. The money we receive from the Alumni Association is used to run the club and pay for the picnic, young alumni events and other Gator Gatherings.

Gee, It's Great to Be a Florida Gator! and that was especially true last Saturday. It was a very sweet victory over a good LSU team. I don't think we have ever seen such a conservative Gator offense. It was so conservative that it made Rush Limbaugh look like a left winger. Where have the days gone when the Old Ball Coach played conservative in the second half with a big lead only to let the offense score touchdowns at will? When the Old Ball Coach was asked why he ran up the score, he replied "It's not our job to stop the Gators from scoring; it's their defense's job." Maybe Urban Meyer should show some film of those old Spurrier game blowouts to the offense to get them going? Charlie Strong showed the defense film of how they played last year and they responded with the best defensive effort I can remember since the 2006 National Championship game.

Arkansas is fresh off their victory over undefeated Auburn at home last week. They thoroughly dominated Auburn and deserved to win the game. I don't expect to see another conservative game plan this week from the New Ball Coach (may be the words Ball Coach will fire up the offense?). Last week, our receivers blocked and ran short routes to protect Tebow. Now that number 15 is healthy, they can light up the offense. The Razorbacks will be in for a good whopping thanks to a stingy defense and a new 90's attitude on offense.
I look forward to seeing everyone at Spitfire on Saturday.

Go Gators!
