Garnet & Gold

Typical Saturday morning and the only thing that's guaranteed for me is college football. I'm half way through my FIFTH year of college and as frustrated as I am with still being a student and still having no income, I'm starting to see the little things that are coming from this extra year in Tallahassee. Florida State Football is one of them.

Growing up, no one in my immediate family was ever a big college football fan. The only game I faintly remember is the Florida v. Florida State game that falls after every Thanksgiving and living an hour from Gainesville it's was always topic of conversation. It isn't until now, my last and final fall in Tallahassee, that I'm realizing how much I really love my 'Noles. It really is something else when you think about the pride you have for your college team. A heartbreak can make me cry, and a bad loss can make me boil with anger, but it never fails that next Saturday I'll be coming back for more. As cheesey as those side-of-the-car-magnet's can be...I really do bleed Garnet & Gold.

Tonight we play at University of Maryland and next Saturday we play University of Florida in Tallahassee, which will be my last home game legally sitting in the student section. Every year I say, "As long as we beat Florida as my last game as a student..." It's about that time and I can't wait!
