Florida tops Vanderbilt ...







I had the opportunity to watch the Florida /Vanderbilt game yesterday at the Stephen C. O'Connell Center (the O' Dome). I have bought tickets before from the Gator's ticket office so if any become available, they email with the opportunity to purchase them. I sat 10 rows from the court behind the basket. Really a great seat. It's about a 2 hour drive but well worth the trip. If you ever have the chance to eat at a McAlister's Deli, Please try it, you won't be disappointed. I stop when I go for football or basketball in Gainesville. http://www.mcalistersdeli.com/. With less than a month to go, college basketball is heating up as teams hope to go to the "big dance". Another thing I like about Florida basketball is when you leave the building, sort of like Elvis did, it's fairly warm as opposed to those northern cities. Upper 60's yesterday. Jack Youngblood, all pro NFL was also there yesterday. Send me some news, notes or nonsense.
The pictures above are the campus, basketball dome, and the student section waving their pom-poms.K

FM Basketball Coach

I just thought you may be interested in this article if you were a player or cheerleader or just attended the Friday night basketball games at the Manlius Military Academy back in the sixties. Or, perhaps you played a little "hall ball" at IC Church!!!
