  3. Tailgate??? What are the plans? 1 p.m. kick. The area is extremely ghetto if we are unable to obtain a spot on property.

    The option of tailgating @ Chateau de Uhle and caravaning is out there. Discuss.

    As for New Year's Eve, perhaps Universal Studios City Walk. Honestly, Orlando is a crap hole and Universal City Walk is clean and a nice option. Discuss.

  4. Peacock/Uhle will be here the weekend prior to the bowl game if you would like to make an extended vacation out of it. Peacock has to work Mon. Dec. 31 and Wed. Jan. 2 and he sucks.

    You all are more than welcome to have a long visit.

  5. I don't see it on the Map.?

    Veena and I are looking into flights. The price will dictate our stay. We will at least be there from Sunday (30th) to Wednesday (2nd). We may look into getting there a day or two earlier.

  6. To vote against Tim Tebow in this year's Heisman race is to vote against all that makes America great.

    Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to turn this into some 1950s House Un-American Activities Committee Commie witch hunt. That might be how Fox News would run its Heisman watch, but that's not my style.

  7. Chris, Cassie and I need tiks. Not sure when we are coming up, probably won't come up until the morning of the game, but if we can come for New Year's Eve we will let you know.

  8. Parking is murder down there. I have already prepaid my parking. It was $18 and I am in Lot R.

    I would suggest prepaying.

  9. My buddy Jenny who used to work at for the Citrus Bowl has been told that Michigan sent back most of their allotted tix. Allegedly 2/3 of the stadium will be Gators. :)

  10. How many people are going to the game? My car can hold at least 7 people comfortably and more on an uncomfortable short drive. Do you guys want to split a parking pass for the game?

    ReplyDelete
  11. The count that I have in my car is 5. James, Veena, Jeff, Heather and Jordan.

    I have a parking pass already and can use my car for the game. R.A. and Chris make 7. I assume more people are going than 7, so a second pass would be needed.

    Dunno Rich' plans.

    Buy a pass if you can or are worried.

  12. Confirmations that I have so far:

    Jeff
    Heather
    James
    Veena
    Jordan
    Chris
    Ruth Ann
    Cassie

    Is that right? The G-ville trio coming New Years' Eve? Jordan is only coming for the day.

    I have no objections to one car and I already have the pass. Are these our final numbers pretty much?

    ReplyDelete
  13. I think that is the final tally at this point.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I concur- that is the final number. The G-ville trio are trying to come for New Year's eve. We have a babysitter just need to get Chris off call. We will hopefully know in the next week.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Sounds good. That makes a room for everyone. Cassie, your room is the living room, but it's got the bonus TV.

  16. Sorry to take Superman's name in vane, but Tim Tebow this is crazy!

    The Gator Booster priority point cut-off number established to fill ticket orders for the Capital One Bowl is 259.00 points.

    All season ticket holders who fall below this point total will be completely refunded.

    I'm not at home and can't recall, but I think I have under 100 pts. Not even close.

    Thanks Wallace!

  17. Scott Reese and Sak are coming also. Now we are all trying to figure out what to do New Year's Eve.

    I don't really care what we do. My input:

    1) Downtown sux

    2) Universal City Walk is an option

    3) Bobby's party? Location?

    ___

    We will prob. leave for the stadium no later than 10:30 or so on the 1st and we can cab it New Year's Eve.

    Let me know.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Cassie will also be coming New Years Eve and is not quite 21 yet. So she has voluntered to be DD if we want to drive.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I don't care what we do as long as Cassie is also allowed in.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I checked out the citywalk website- it costs $119 per person and has a 21 age limit.

  21. Good eye Ruth Ann. I just heard on the radio that they are having a concert, hence the cost. Eliminate that as an option.

    Bobby's house is about 10 miles north of downtown and about 20 miles from my house. James, figure out what he expects scene-wise. Get some ideas of what else there is to do, as he's lived here for a while.

    I forgot that they will prob. do a block party Downtown, which is actually pretty good. So my old version of saying downtown sux, needs some ammending for a block party. Cassie would be able to get in and you pay like $10/$20 and have entry to like 10 bars and they have a cover band on a set, etc... That might be the best option.

    Continue to brainstorm.

  22. New Year's Church Street
    Here is something on downtown, couldn't find anything else on it, and can't find an age limit, but it does seem like most places have a 21 limit. Dadgummit Cassie get a fake ID.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Damn R.A., you have found all the good stuff and you are not even from here. Heather was looking at that earlier and the $55 package looks to be the best. Just no imports.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I don't see why Cassie couldn't just pay the $40 admission, which just gets her in. Does not include an alcohol bracelet.

    ReplyDelete
  25. What did Rutlege get dismissed from the team for? Also, Hernandez to FB for Capital One Bowl. That's nice.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I can come down New Years Day if you guys want to go out. Not a huge deal to me. Or I'll find someone to make me a fake ID.. yea, right. Anyway whichever is okay with me. Thanks for thinking about me though!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Cassie, you are in it to win it. We have options that include under 21 so we will choose one of them.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I've asked Bobby if his party involves mashed potatoes. I'll post an update when I hear back.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Rutledge: one game suspension (10% of season) for a failed drug test. This amounts to the rest of his career unfortunately.

  30. So does Urban Meyer minimize C.I.'s touches to perhaps negatively affect his NFL forecast. Interesting call on that one. I'd have to say despite us wanting him to return, the guy did play a phenomenal game vs. OSU to win the NCG last year, so give him his due. That being said, all Ingram is gonna do in the NFL is be the equivalent of Donnell Harvey to the NBA, which isn't a whole lot at all. D. Baker hasn't even made the official Pittsburgh roster, albeit he left after his eligibility was done.

  31. Cunningham charges dropped. Should play in bow.

    Interesting that twice this year the victims dropped the charges against football players.

  35. I talked to Bobby and his party is still on so it is a definite option for us. He has a pool table and just got a wii for Christmas. He said he is grilling, but if we come to bring whatever we like to drink.
