I personally have never thought the sun was yellow.... even before the Gator thing started! When I was little and would color pictures, I always made my sunshine ORANGE.... yellow was always too sissy for bright, bold sunshine..... heck, look at my ticker - the sun..... ORANGE!
3 degrees?!?!!?!?!? Holy bananas - yet another point that backs up the fact that Florida Gators are SMART! ....borderline GENIUS!

I live in Gainesville, and the Gators have some amazing sports teams.
While saying that, I couldn't give two craps about it myself. Whenever the Gators have a game, it takes 40 minutes to drive to what would normally be a 5 minute destination. This actually makes me kind of hate the Gators...
awww nightengale...going to stores is the best during games from what i've heard from my not so sports fanatic friends. They always wait until kickoff....and then as long as you aren't going to campus...drive all over town at lightning speeds with no waits. My friends who hated sports loved game day. The key is just to wait until the game starts then everyone is parked. And you are free to go whereever...you have 4 hours of no traffic.
yes london - 3 degrees (maybe not genuis...just nutz)...i got a bs in animal science and ms in animal nutrition and a DVM from the college of vet med. UF has many well known programs. Its a great educational institute as well as sports school.

Yeah gatorgal, I just seem to always get stuck when the games are letting out! Just my luck, eh?
My girlfriend graduated from the UF School of Journalism Class of 2006, so I have the tiniest bit of Gator pride by association... however, she is also the reason I moved down here, and I've felt pretty much ostracised in this town from day one since I'm not a student and this town is pretty much school obsessed.
yeah it is tough..the town is pretty much obsesseed...but you start looking you'll find people who aren't crazy for sports. Like i said...find out kickoff time...then remember a game is about 4 hours long...and actually once you learn a lot of the back roads, you can avoid quite a bit. I live by backroads. Always avoided Archer, 13th, university, and williston if possible. Even though the vet school is right off archer i made it work where i lived and avoided a bunch of traffic. Hang in there..there really are people who live in g'ville that actaully don't believe life revolves around sports. Not me though LMAO

LOL it's hard to avoid those roads when you live smack dab in that vacinity! (SW Gainesville, in a somewhat student-filled area)
haha, if life doesn't revolve around sports, it revolves around school and studying I'm trying to get a little more into the punk scene over here since that's more up my alley. It can be hard, though - I'm originally from the DC area - it's quite a culture shock down here for me, but I'm trying to make the best of it. The fraternity/sorority thing is not for me (no offense if you were in one, I have nothing against them, but usually nothing in common either ).

Reason: typo
Okay LondonJulz you knew I would end up here. I am a GATOR through and through. I'm even one of those that believes I can affect the outcome of a game. Maybe I wasn't cheering hard enough? I have signed up so I can check out scores on my cell. It just seems some seasons I am working during a football or basketball game or traveling. I had to remedy that situation. I was born to be a GATOR. First because I was born in St. Pete but also because I couldn't tolerate milk as a baby so the Dr told my mom to give me Gatorade. It is my alma mater. I graduated in 94. I went back a few years ago for Gator Growl and Homecoming with my freshman year roommate. It was an amazing time.
