#1 Tigers take on the Volunteers

It's been a great week in J'ville, at least from my perspective. With LSU still #1 and having defeated the Gators, things have been quiet from the normal braggarts. And I've made sure to wear something with LSU on it every time I leave the house.

This week, we face the Volunteers. Sure, they are not having a great year and just lost to Georgia. But the last time Tennessee played LSU when it was ranked #1, they beat them. So this game cannot be taken lightly.

Kickoff for this game is at 3:39 p.m. on Saturday. We will be gathering to watch the game at Hurricane's Grill and Wings (Baymeadows Road and 9A). I hope you can make it. It's always fun to have a big crowd when cheering on the Tigers.

GEAUX TIGERS. LOVE PURPLE, LIVE GOLD.

#1 Tigers v. Gators - Rival Time in the River City

It's that time of year again, when we get to tease our friends and co-workers, make ridiculous and potentially embarrassing bets and plan for an exciting Saturday. I know a lot of you are planning on going to B.R. for the game. Safe travels and remember, be good hosts to the guests in our house.

For those of you staying home, why not meet us at Hurricane's Grill & Wings (Baymeadows Rd. & 9A), to watch the game among friends and rivals. We know that there will probably be a big Gator crowd there, as anywhere in Jacksonville, but we should have a nice group of people to watch with. Safety in numbers. Kickoff is at 3:30, so get there early to get a good seat.

So let's get together and cheer on our #1 Tigers as they take on the Gators. It could be an exciting game. As someone keeps pointing out to me, the last time the Gators traveled to Louisiana to play a higher ranked Tiger team, with a brand new freshman quarterback, the Gators won. That was with Chris Leake. And as I point out, we won the National Championship that year. I don't think the Gators will have the same kind of luck this year but it should be fun.

BTW, this is the "Gold" game in Tiger stadium, so where your gold tops.

GEUAX TIGERS, LOVE PURPLE, LIVE GOLD.
