Gator game day

Like so many others over the years... waiting for the hour of start time to arrive. Is it as important as our declining education system, child abuse, middle class woes, climbing homelessness rates, low supplies in the charity pantries, terrorism threats and actual deeds, politicians who kiss butt more and more with all the bailouts -ahem loans, animal cruelty, high prices of groceries lately, high insurance costs, medical costs, low minimum wage, etc?

no, it isn't. I can't do alot about those things today. We all have to prioritize and be efficient with our money and our time these days. We'll donate some cash and food and maybe some hours to a charity this year for the holidays...we usually do the turkey dinners but too much going on this year. There is always an excuse for us to use isn't there??

What game days give us sports fans is a chance to be competitive- something that is looked down upon the past few years...especially by "sensitive" parents who cater to their children's every whim. It also gives us a chance to be around friends and family and just have fun. We are still allowed to do that aren't we?? These days are so serious, and I agree there are some issues but the media and politicians make it seem like the sky is going to fall on our heads any day now.

I say...relax, we'll all be ok. Take some time to have fun, laugh, smile and throw crap at your tv if you're not happy tonight. At least Hillary isn't President (for now) and hey-
at least the Gators will win.
