That's right OUTTA here.
Starting Thursday night, I'm taking a leave of absence from the VS.
I'll be in New Orleans, getting loaded and having a good time. Why? Because I'm following my FLORIDA GATORS out there. They are MY Florida Gators because they are who I root for. The team I was raised to love, for better or for worse. They aren't MY Florida Gators because I donate 'x' amount of dollars. They aren't MY Florida Gators because the internet allows every idiot to email the athletic director, his momma, and his sister.
Sure I want UF to win in the worst way. But I'm not going to turn in to 'that guy' that shows up to every game thinking that, because I bought a ticket, the team owes him something. If you want a perfect show, buy a ticket to the Cirque de Sol. Maybe Zook isn't right for the job. Maybe he can be. But I'm still going to be in Section 59, screaming and yelling like it's the Sugar Bowl regardless of how good or how bad we look. And in LSU I can be found somewhere in the East Upper. Wherever the hell that is. But I know that from this East Upper section of the stadium, I can see the kids in orange and blue, and realize that this sure beats the hell out of work.
I'll be back from my LOA Sunday afternoon, hopefully to find a board that doesn't resemble the Osbornes.. or the UCF board for that matter.
Go Gators, dammit!!!!
