Diehard tailgaters undeterred by Gator, Bulldog losses

Diehard fans began arriving and setting up Friday at RV City outside EverBank Field, even though the gates didn't open until Wednesday and the Florida-Georgia game is played Saturday.

JACKSONVILLE -- They call themselves diehard fans, with good reason.

They started arriving Friday at RV City outside EverBank Field, even though the gates didn't open until Wednesday and the Florida-Georgia game is played Saturday. The struggles of both schools' football teams didn't deter fans from making an annual pilgrimage that helped give the game its "World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party" nickname.

"These people are diehards," said Patty Wooten, 60, who has been parking there for 15 years. "It doesn't matter if they're winning or losing."

Yet the presence of several empty spots in the usually packed lot suggested that something was different from previous years. Some fans conceded the Gators' three-game losing streak and Bulldogs' four losses on the season were a factor. Others put the blame squarely on the economy.

"I think it's a little of both," said Rick Sharp, 47, of Jacksonville.

But Sharp was undeterred. He's one of about 50 people in 11 motor homes who return annually to the same area in the lot, which they've dubbed Alligator Alley.
"The diehards - we're here every year," he said.

Her Diary.......His Diary

Men and women.....are just different.   Period!

From GaPeach913:

Women and men are so different. 

________________________________________________________________________________

Her Diary:

Tonight, I thought my husband was acting weird. 

We had made plans to meet at a nice restaurant for dinner.

I was shopping with my friends all day long, So I thought he was upset at the fact that I was a bit late,
but he made no comment on it. 

Conversation wasn't flowing, so I suggested that we go somewhere  quiet so we could talk.  He agreed, but
he didn't say much. 

I asked Him what was wrong;  He said, 'Nothing.' I asked him if it was my fault that He was upset. He said he wasn't upset, that it had nothing to do with me, and not to worry about it.
.
On the way home, I told him that I loved him.  He Smiled slightly, and
kept driving.  I can't explain his behavior I don't know Why he didn't
say, 'I love you, too.'  

When we got home, I felt as if I had Lost him completely, as if he wanted nothing to do with me anymore.  He just sat there quietly, and watched TV. He continued to seem distant and absent.

Finally, with silence all around us, I decided to go to bed. About  15
Minutes later, he came to bed.

To my surprise, he responded to my caress, And we made love. But I still felt that he was distracted, and
his thoughts were somewhere else. 

He fell asleep - I cried. I don't know what to do. I'm Almost sure that his thoughts are with someone else.  

My life is a disaster.
 


His Diary:

Boat wouldn't start today.  Can't figure it out, but at least I got laid.  

Hard to Kill

Getting rid of the .....New York Yankees.....is no easy task.

Just ask the Texas Rangers.   With a 3-1 lead in the best of seven......Needed one more win to send these "pinstripers"  packing.......

The Yankees......rise up......and win a game.

Go figure.

Texas' 2 step: Win at home, get even with Yanks

Roy Story 2: Philly sequel is light years better

After a deflating loss in Phillies ace Roy Halladay's NLCS opener, Roy Oswalt penned a magnificent mound effort and ignited a seventh-inning rally, highlighted by Jimmy Rollins' three-run double, to tie the series at 1-1. Wrap »

David Gilreath outruns the Buckeyes as he goes 97 yards for a touchdown on the opening kickoff.

America saw the Wisconsin football team coach Bret Bielema and his players envisioned back in preseason camp in August. UW gave Bielema his first victory over Ohio State, which has won at least a share of the last five league titles, and perhaps ruined the Buckeyes' hopes of winning a national title. »Read Full Article(155)

New NBA Rule...."No Complaining"

The NBA had better seriously look at their new rule on players complaining about officials' calls.

Have you ever watched an NBA game.....in which no player complained?

Come the regular season......if the new rule is followed to the letter of the law....No teams would have enough players left......to finish the game.

Here's an example from the other night.

NBA Players To Sue League, Say New Technical Rules "Harm Our Product"

Dashiell Bennett | Oct. 15, 2010, 8:21 AM |

 

The NBA players association is considering legal action against the league over their new enforcement policy regarding on-the-court complaints.

 

This season, players are subject to technical fouls for "unnecessary and unwarranted overreaction" to calls made by the referees or even "overt gestures" directed at other players. Since they also raised the fines for receiving technicals and the accumulation of T's can result in a suspension, players are understandably upset about the assault on their pocket books.

But the union is also worried about the effect on player psyches, arguing that the rules are "stifling the players' passion and exuberance for their work" and generally making the game really boring watch.

Referees called four technicals in sixteen seconds during an exhibition game between New York and Boston, and Kevin Garnett was ejected for complaining a foul called on a teammate. It will only get worse when the games actually matter.

Our thoughts.....exactly.   These guys play hard.  They can't turn on and off....their emotions.    They are not ....."robots".

We're thinking......the NBA will re-visit this rule......before the regular season.
