I am bursting at the seams in excitement for this weekend! I
can’t wait to head up to Gainesville for the first game of the season! I have
missed the town and my sisters greatly and can’t wait to be “home” again.
Growing up, Florida football was a tradition I came to love
and cherish. As the product of two UF alumni, the orange and blue flows through
my veins! It is so amazing to see everyone at the games, from the 85 year old
college sweethearts to the infants of parents that can only dream of the day
their kid is a Gator, Florida football is something that we all share in.
One of my favorite recent traditions is when all of the
players run to the student side/ band at the end of the game and everyone joins
together singing the Alma Mater! Seriously, Y’all, I teared up when we sang the
Alma Mater to close graduation!
Neath the orange and blue victorious,
our love shall never fail.
There's no other name so glorious,
all hail, Florida, hail!
our love shall never fail.
There's no other name so glorious,
all hail, Florida, hail!
