Cincinnati Gators

...is the title of the blog by John Wise (pictured with Rick).
ONE GREAT SEASON

Back in June 1994, Wise compiled a list of what he thought were going to be the biggest games of the upcoming college football season and sent letters to the athletic departments of all the host schools requesting media access. He said if he didn't get a job before his birthday (July 30, thank you!), he'd set out to drive around the country and write a book about America's greatest sport. Not knowing what his address would be after his sublet ended on Aug. 1, the gutsy graduate directed the athletic departments to mail all correspondence to his mother's address in Cleveland.

A large number of us were on hand to witness the beatdown of the Wildcats at the hands of the Gators. Pictures are up on the photos page (thanks Ali!).

A BIG THANK YOU goes out to Michael Pardo at the National Exemplar for supplying the great food for the event! The next time you go out for dinner, treat yourself to some fantastic food while patronizing one of our sponsors at the same time.

George Henry Volker VI, born on September 24, 2009, 10:09pm, 7lb 12oz, 20.75 inches. He and Misty are doing great and should be going home sometime today.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Let's hope he is ok!

We are parked at the corner of Nicholasville & Farm roads. Look for a tour bus and a Gator decorated RV.

This doesn't look promising...

No. 1 Florida Gators kept six more players out of practice Tuesday because of flu-like symptoms.

Gators coach Urban Meyer said starting linebacker A.J. Jones was among those feeling ill. No player has had a confirmed case of swine flu, but Meyer has expressed concern that the virus could ravage the defending national champions.

Receivers coach Billy Gonzales, who was sent home the day before because he had a fever, returned to practice Tuesday wearing gloves and a mask.

Also not at practice were defensive back Josh Evans, receiver Justin Williams, running back Mike Gillislee, defensive end Earl Okine and walk-on offensive lineman Shawn Schmieder

Bus will arrive ~11:30am and leaves at noon from BWW - DO NOT BE LATE! Better yet, be early

Leaving at noon allows time for delays with traffic and campus security. Be prepared to get back to BWW's late!

We'll have water, soft drinks, beer, and food (courtesy of Michael Pardo at the National Exemplar). If you want to bring a small, fold out chair, please do.

If you haven't picked up your game tix already, you can pick them up prior to the bus departure or contact John to make arrangements to pick them up from him beforehand.

If you purchased bus and/or game tickets and can't make it, please let us know. There are a few people on a waiting list should tickets become available.
