Gatorbowl Game Day

Wow....what an exciting game!! Was there to see it and had a great time! I am in Florida right now at my friend Chris's. Also joining us is our friend Paul from Ohio. I was hoping to post some pics of the game and surrounding area but Chris's pc can't handle the memory card my camera uses. I will post as soon as I get home.
Shortly after my plane arrived and my friends picked me up, we did a little pre-game celebrating at the Orlando Brewing Company. I hadn't eaten all day so I was feeling no pain when we left. Today we hit the road around 8:00am and arrived at the stadium in Jacksonville around 10. Great time to get there as we beat a lot of the traffic and it gave us time to roam around. Paul found a bar/restaurant across the street that served 44 ounce beers in a football mug. Tons of people there (over 67,00 in attendance). Pretty much even on Husker to Clemson fans. Both sides very friendly to each other. We sat on the Nebraska side and had 3 Clemson folks sitting along side of us. Congratulated us on the win and shook hands after the game. Great fans! Hit the streets of downtown Jacksonville after the game just to walk around and see some sights until the traffic let up. Beautiful developed downtown area. Reminded me of the Omaha riverfront renovations going on. You will see what I mean when I post my pics. Til then.... Congratulations to the Huskers & Happy New Year!!
