Gators are National Champs once again

There’s nothing like waking up at 2:30 AM to watch your alma mater become the greatest team in the college football. Yeah, that’s right, 2:30 AM. So what that it wasn’t on TV and I had to watch it over the internet. I got to see the Mighty Gators take on a team that was favored by 12 points and absolutely destroy them. What a great game! I really don’t think I’ve ever seen the Gators play that good before. They were so consistent, they were so fast, they were so smart, and they were simply unstoppable. I’m a little bummed that I wasn’t able to be back in Jacksonville with all my friends to watch the game and share in the glory with them, but it was still a joy to watch the game here in Africa and cheer on my team while eating some chips and salsa at 3 AM in the morning. Good times!
And in case you were are wondering, the game ended at 7 AM and I decided to go to work the next day without any sleep. Yeah, it was a long day, but well worth it.
