#1 Florida Gators vs Florida State Seminoles
Saturday 12:30 PST
Happy Thanksgiving Gators:
Hope everyone is enjoying the holidays and spending some quality time with family and friends. I am going to make this mail short, as I still have lots of preparations to make before the big meal this afternoon (the Swanson’s Hungry Man Dinner still hasn't fully thawed yet!).
Normally I would wax on ad nauseam about the big Florida State game, detailing the bitter history between the two teams and all that's at stake in this annual contest. However, given the Seminoles decline of late, it's difficult to sell this game as anything more than a superior team (although often fallible) facing off against an overmatched opponent (i.e. the Garnet and Gold). Yes, I am excited to watch this weekend and am fully aware that anything can happen in a rivalry matchup, but the mystique of the game has diminished over the years (the Gators have won the last five meetings), as FSU is now a shell of their former greatness.
Shake yourself out of the tryptophan coma and watch the Gators close out the regular season against our intra-state foe from Tallahassee. This will be the last home game for Tim Tebow (and perhaps the final regular season game for Bobby Bowden), so expect a very energetic performance from our quarterback. Let's hope Florida can put this game away early so we can rest up for the monumental challenge next week in the SEC Championship.
Go Gators,
Courtney
