#12 Florida Gators vs # 9 LSU Tigers
Saturday 4:30 PM PST

Howdy Gators:

Courtney is taking the week off. He's trying to get over our loss last week to Alabama. He took it pretty hard like most of us.

This week, the Gators are looking to their senior leadership to get them on the winning track. Since I'm a Senior Gator, I'm going to try and put the Alabama loss in perspective. This loss doesn't even rate in the Top 10 of all losses. How about when our quarterback threw the ball out of bounds on 4th and long to stop the clock in the waning moments of the Mississippi State game with the Gators behind less than a touchdown? What about the time they decided to switch the offensive and defensive coaches before the Georgia game? The result was a 35-0 first quarter score and one of the worst losses ever to the Dawgs. These losses don't even compare to the Alabama loss. We'll have another chance to beat Alabama again in a couple of months.

Last year at this time, we were wondering if Tim Tebow would be able to play in the LSU game after sustaining a concussion in the Kentucky game. Brantley is banged up but should play in this game on Saturday. He had a tough game last week and is looking to redeem himself to the Gator Nation. He'll have a lot of his teammates trying to do the same. I think the defense can contain LSU and make it a long day for their quarterbacks. I have a good feeling that the offense will shine in the Swamp this Saturday. Everything is going to come together offensively, center snaps, Oline, running backs, receivers and Brantley and Burton will be unstoppable. This game will be reminiscent of the days of the Old Ball Coach. Bring lots of Touchdown Dollars, I have a strong feeling that this game is going to be a blow out.

We were advised by Spitfire that we will not have the backroom this week. They booked a private party for 6:00 PM which will interfere with our viewing of the game. We'll be watching the game on the South side of the bar. Spitfire will be providing free appetizers since we won't be able to watch the game in the backroom. Kelly and company are looking forward to seeing you at Spitfire. We'll also be viewing the game at our Eastside location, Sidelines. There won't be a UFC fight on Saturday night, so come on over to Sidelines to view the game. Rose Marie and Cathy will be your hosts for the game. And don't forget to bring lots of Touchdown Dollars, you're going to need them. Go Gators!
