Oh Florida–Georgia weekend. How I remember those days and those sweet southern belles (Lady Bulldogs) that manage to wear black/red dresses all day long for a 3:30 game, and then continue to wear the same dresses that night after the game as well. It’s a wonderful sight and often quite amusing after several cocktails have been consumed. The annual battle between the Georgia Bulldogs (5-2, 4-1 SEC) and the Florida Gators (4-3, 2-3 SEC) is always set to take place the weekend before Halloween. Unfortunately, this match-up is a little bit less critical than both teams are used too as Florida isn’t even ranked in the top 25 and Georgia is towards the back at #22 . Nonetheless, it should be exciting. Both teams are coming back from a bye week and had some time to get healthy. We have been told that John Brantley will be making the start this weekend and is good to go. Thank God, because if we had to endure another offensive display like we witnessed during half of the Alabama game and all of the LSU and Auburn game, I may start trick or treating a day early.

Okay, so here is where my ADD kicks in…I love Halloween. It is a fun time for kids and adults. If you are a parent of a young child, then you are very lucky, because you get to witness something great during Halloween. A complete and utter shocking display of emotions that are all kick started by a sugar induced rage that usually ends with the kid passed out on the couch with a half eaten laffy taffy sticking out of their mouth and the dog licking their fingers hoping for an extra treat. It’s both amusing and frightening. How could something that small inhale so much sugar and not go into a coma or diabetic shock? How great it is to be young. Nonetheless, here is where we come back to football. Most Gator and Bulldog fans will be in similar positions Saturday night after a long day of consuming beverages and rooting for their teams. The only difference is it will be a half a piece of pizza hanging out of their mouth and a random person trying to lick the remnants of food from their stained clothing. Ok, I know that sounds totally creepy and weird, but if any one of you have been to a Florida/ Georgia Weekend in Jacksonville, you would agree that stranger and weirder things can happen.
