The brand new football complex at UF. Top notch stuff, and we got a great tour.
This is the gator that we violated in our debut photo on The Sporting Blog. We've never ridden an alligator before, and we're hoping that we can put the incident behind us and keep working hard to earn our readers trust back.
Three Heismans. Pretty good stuff. Will any of them have a pro career to speak of? We will see...
We got to see a sample workout from the Gators head of strength and conditioning, Mickey Marrotti. He thought we might hurt ourselves on the power sled tackling machine. He was right.
Here's us with Mickey Marrotti, the head of the Gator strength program. He could literally snap the two of us in half, so I'm glad he's a nice guy. After getting our sprint techniques critiqued, I think we're both going to be running sub 4.4 40s. Or 4.4 30s.
You know your weight room is cool when you have your name on the weights. You know you aren't cool when you're holding 45 pound plates for a picture.
Phil doing his best Maxwell Award pose.
Flashing our East Side High sign with the East Side girls volleyball team at their charity car wash.
You can see Corso's spray tan from here. Very impressive.
We couldn't get a photo of the sign of the day: "Lee Corso, The 70 Year Old Virgin"
This was the most room I got all night at "The Swamp," a popular Gainesville bar right across from the real Swamp.
We were relieved when we ran into Bri, a senior at Miami who studies Meteorology, who assured us that we'd be safe from Hurricane Hanna and Ike. Got a feeling she might be on TV after she graduates...
The dancing scene at X-S, the 80s bar that's attached to the even more crowded Gator City.
The RTGD team dominating a dance-off on the stage. Our competition is crying in the bathroom.
Gator Orange clutch? Check. Form fitting Dress? Check. Gator fan? Check.
Ending Friday night with free hot dogs and water from the Campus Ministry team just off University Ave. Just what the doctor ordered...
Apparently this guy is a local legend... He looks one part Flava Flav, one part King James. He would only pose for pictures, he wouldn't give us his autograph.
Our tour guides for Friday night: Nicole, 23, a Gator grad back for her first game post graduation. Taylor, a 21-yr old UF student who used to play D-1 volleyball, and Amanda another UF co-ed.
This guy is really excited that they're making another Ghostbusters movie. Resale value for his paddywagon just sky-rocketed.
Phil, fully lathered and sweaty at The Swamp.
The Road to Game Day stops in Gainesville. Electric atmosphere, even in a boring game.
Drinking while operating a motor vehicle: Bad. Drinking while on top of a motor vehicle: Genius.
There's no such thing as a bad tailgate location.
Bourbon Meyer. Get it?
The scene on University Avenue.
Inside Gator City, two hours before game time.
RTGD, celebrating actually getting a seat.
RTGD, really celebrating after trading those two seats for a photo with these two ladies. "It's niiiice."
