Gator Bait


Take a good long look at this photo.

Me (in disbelief): "Did you do that on purpose?"
Local (drunkenly): "Shoooit, yea. It's a great convuhsashun starter."
Me: "..."
Local (gleefully): "But, you know... if you look at 'em right, they ain't the wrong way around!"

All things considered, Gainesville was very fun. I'm somewhat embarrassed to admit that we (i.e. UK fans) seemed to out-hillbilly the locals, at least if the belligerently drunk crew we joined up with for tailgating was any indication.
Pros: The surprisingly upscale 'Mid-town' area, congenial locals, low prices for drinks and cigarettes ($3.50/pack), flask-friendly stadium, and clear weather.
Cons: The heat (it was crotch-pot-cookin' hot), lack of Hooters (for Dwayne), late-night dining options, and the stone mattresses of Days Inn.
