Escambia94, (laughing)
Damn--is there already a "Hurricane"? OH--THAT SH*THOLE DOWN SOUTH!!! I should have figured that...but regardless, I was just "going with it", since the idea had been raised, and was TRYING to come up with one-of-our-own...BUT I AM WITH YOU, E-...Not only "Nothing that reminds us of our rivals...", but really, NOTHING that has ANYONE on our TEAM standing out, for any reason and/or in any WAY other than by how they play when they're in there with their TEAMMATES, OK?!!
How does THAT sound? That's how I REALLY feel, when I step back and think about it...Sorry, I just lost sight of all that for a moment.
From now on, I go back to using "nicknames" as MY way of making fun of and/or putting DOWN players, mostly players (and sometimes coaches, of course) on other teams. Yeah, THAT'S where MY wise-ass creativity is headed back to from now on--in fact, I'll try to infuse everything with some bit of THAT kind of fun, wherever possible if I can...God knows we all could use it--between personal boredom, and:
NO GATOR FOOTBALL!...For weeks' 'til just the one game that is "Win, of course--or you're ALL a bunch of losers!" and no real larger reward for Victory--Gee, that sounds like fun--and then, well, sweat out the last month before NSD (more important than the "Plus One" Game , from our POV, let's face it OK?), then what, Dead Time of rumors and 3rd-hand "reports", Spring Football not much better--WOW, SECOND-hand reports until "The Orange and Blue Debut" (sounds like a suburban dinner-club's musical, don't it?), then no one but Dillman knows what's going on from April-to-June...
Hmm...I feel better already...How about you?
Escambia94, (I've added quite-a-bit to this, below AND above here, and thought I'd let you know, in case you'd already read the much shorter "Version 1"...)
(This upbeat, "have some fun with it!"-stuff is gonna be tougher than I realized...Maybe once we get through and PAST 12/21/12 will help somewhat, anyway--and Gators: Try to spend next Friday with someone or ones you most wanna BE with or, failing that, at LEAST other humans that day, just-in-case..."You get the reality you deep-down expect"--and it is shared-expectation that most influences "Shared Reality", that quantum-construct that we all create inside that "Big Schroedinger's Box" that we pick and, in so doing, "collapse the Big Waveform" (Does ANYONE follow ANYTHING I am saying here, at this point? Do
I?)...
...Me,
I expect the Gators to win the 2013 National Championship--and the one AFTER too: Yes, to begin a period of dominance that will have us involved at or near the top for a time that will come to be seen as a "Golden Gator Age", we will take the LAST "Plus One" and the FIRST "Four Team Playoff" to announce our "Return" in an amazing way--
SO this DAMN well better NOT be "The Friggin' End of the World", see what I'm sayin'? Now, WHO'S WITH ME ON THIS?!!)
