We went to Florida for Mommy's big 3-0 birthday weekend.  We left Friday evening and spent the night at MeMaw's house.  We drove the 68 miles from her house to Gaineville at lunch time.  Kick-off was at 3:30 p.m. so we got to walk around campus and have some pre-game fun before filing in with 90,100+ other fans for the big game! Our Gators won 17-16 ... WOOT! Here are the photos and videos from the weekend.

90,100+ fans lulling her to sleep ... Bella fell asleep during the fourth quarter and REMAINED asleep during the thrilling finale ... amazing.

The final play of the game ...
 
Florida is ahead by one point (17-16) with 22 seconds to go... USC is moving the ball down the field and is in field goal range.  A three-point field goal would give the Gamecocks -- and Steve Spurrier in him first trip back to the Swamp's sidelines since he left Florida -- the upset.  They could knock Florida out of the National Championship Game hunt ... and could return to Columbia with their heads held high.
 
They kick the ball with 8 seconds on the clock ... (the yelling is all me...) This is what happened and the aftermath:
