THE FINGER GIRL

It's 6:43 a.m. foggy out, 54 degrees, Patrick's on the side porch. The house is filled with sleeping party-goers from Junior's birthday bonfire out back, which we just put out.

The sixth ranked Gators defeated the 5th ranked Volunteers at Florida Field last night, 16 - 7. It wasn't pretty , but it was a W. Tennessee had its way with the Gators during the notorious "I'm going to hire my special buddy unexperienced Ron Zook to the Number Three college coaching job in the country at a million dollars a year because I'm an asshole and can get away with it " era. The Gators coverted two costly errors by the Vols into field goals--a bobbled punt return (Forced), and an idiot punter's pass on fourth down (Sucked in by the Gators). I haven't seen the stats yet, but the Gators may have outplayed the Vols. Unlike the Zook era, this team didn't fade in the fourth quarter, the defense stayed strong. If this was a Zook game, we would have lost 16-17, in the last few minutes. The Gators done good. Another highlight of the TV game coverage was a 5 second shot of an absolutely gorgeous blonde young Gator fannette, looking sexy and perky in a straw cowboy hat and, catching the camera's eye, arched her shoulders provocatiely, wiggled and held up her finger, signifying "NUmber One" with a big smile. The network showed the shot several times later in the show, I don't know, maybe it was a set-up, but either way, it ought to become part of Gator Nation Legend, it was that good. We're calling her the "finger girl". She was every bit as hot, if not hotter, than Christy of Pizza Hut!

On a related front, the ol ball coach was humiliated at home by the Crimson Tide--Aaawwwwww....{Will the Gamecocks destroy him like they did poor Lou? It didn't look to be the same team that almost beat the Dawgs...) It's a precarious path, but the Gators are on their way...One game at a time... GO GATORS!!!
