The Gators are Elite!

Gator Basketball vs. Louisville (Elite Eight)
Saturday 12:30PM (1:30PM tip-off)
Buckley’s in Belltown
2331 2nd Avenue Seattle, WA 98121

Seattle Gators,

Yesterday roughly 40 Gators and friends shared in the Sweet 16 experience, and how sweet it was. Buckley’s in Belltown was electric and intimate as chants of Orange and Blue and Go Gators echoed throughout the venue. Good times were had by all (except for the Marquette fans and Gator haters) which is a precursor to another epic showdown. As you may well know, there is a long history between Coach Donovan and Coach Pitino. Donovan was an assistant on Coach Pitino’s staff. Billy the Kid is also 0-6 all-time against his mentor. But this is a new day and a focused Gator team. The implications for this game are huge:

· Teacher vs. Student
· Big East vs. SEC
· Dieng vs. Young
· Zone D vs. Full Court Press

Although the turnout was great for the sweet 16 match, I know we can flex Gator Nation’s
collective muscle and draw even more fans for the match. Ideally I would like the entire venue in Orange and Blue.

There will be sections available for kids as well, so if you are interested and would like to bring children, let us know in advance so we can request the right number of tables!

The game starts at 1:30PM, but please arrive an hour early if possible so we can make sure to shore up as many tables as possible. Accurately predicting the turnout is an inexact science, so the earlier you arrive, the better we can assist you.

Go Gators!
