Will do. It's at home. I'm at work. Later.
Also, another sartorial component. Being Jewish, I go to synagogue in the morning (remember, our Sabbath is on Saturday), and of course watch the game on TV (unless we actually go, which we did in 14 and 16, both wins). Unlike churches, most Jewish men who go to synagogue services wear coat and tie (women wear dresses). What do you think I wear on THAT morning? That's right, my Orange and Blue striped tie. My Orange and Blue yarmulke (the skull cap we wear).
Now get a load of this - my brother-in-law (yes, I know I've probably posted this before) was the "Jewish Bulldog." Louis Freedman played starting DT for Erk Russell and Dooley in the 77 and 78 seasons. I actually saw him play before I met my wife, and didn't know he was even playing. So on the day of the 06 game was his son's Bar-Mitzvah. Everyone in synagogue was handed Red and Black yarmulkes. Being a sport, I wore that on my head. But I wore my O&B tie. Everyone, from the Rabbi on down, got a kick out of that.
That night was Matthew's Bar Mitzvah party. It was billed as a "Red and Black tailgate party" at our Jewish Community Center here. Naturally, a lot of the Bulldogs in attendance (and there are a LOT of them) were a bit downcast because we had won. Since I didn't own anything Red and Black, and we had won, I wore my Blue Gators sweatshirt. My niece (daughter of my wife's other brother) also went to UF, she wore the same. I remember my late mother-in-law criticizing me for having the nerve to wear O&B. Although my younger son was a freshman Bulldog, I didn't own anything Red and Black, so I told her since we won, I was going to wear my sweatshirt. Since I teach at what was then Armstrong State University (we have been consolidated into Georgia Southern) I guess I would have worn my ASU sweatshirt (maroon and yellow, kind like Arizona State - same initials) had we lost. But I also wanted to rub it in.
You're a Gator mensch.

One of the members of our Savannah Gator Club, Tom Buttram, had a post that included a long article about the game. I'll have to find it. Tom has since left Savannah and moved to Crawfordville, FL. As an aside, he DID evacuate b/c Crawfordville was in Michael's path and he's OK. I think his home is OK, too.
Friends with Tom on Facebook. He made a post the other day and it didn't sound like his property was in great shape, at least his property in Port St. Joe. But he is ok.

I just feel like this season will be a success if we beat the dawgs. A season with wins over Vols, Puppies & Noles would be great.
After we beat the Dwags, this should be the title of its own thread the week before Thanksgiving - with full credit to Bruce.

Who are these “dawgs” you speak of? Join us in spelling the name of those leg humpers as d-W-a-g-s. Dwags.
Pretty sure our tickets would be on StubHub otherwise.He booked a place while I was sleeping. Smart move
We are playing with house money and we really have nothing to lose (other than it being UGAy). We should be looser than t-gator's mom's vagina. However, UGAy has to win this game. Their entire season rests on this game. They are gonna be playing tighter than... Gern's vagina.

That's the one!
Actually, on a personal note, Herschel running all over our butts, man about boys those few years, was quite depressing viewing. Lindsey was the dagger, that sudden death. I have an aversion to black and red polyester. An ambush by us would be nice. The great talent recruiting discrepancy takes center stage. We have enough weapons, the D has it in them, STs stay clutch, Go Gators!!
This was the play that relieved all the ill of the Walker era, even sweeter that it was same direction on the field the Scott play went.....
