Keys to The Contest

Probably a little of both.

sadlerdawg, how 'bout a lot of both (giddy, excited, tense, uptight, focused, etc.).
A couple of my rich HS classmates have season tickets; they take their BIG RV's to all the games, both at home and away. THIS GAME is of course the biggest of the year. In years past they have always had a great area in which to park their RV's together (they take at least 3 RV's).
For some reason, this year the city of Jax kicked them out of their spot, so they can't do the big giant all-week tailgate thing at the stadium. They are all pretty bummed out about it. Since some of us live just across the state line in south GA, they are going to have a party at one of the classmate's houses on the river. I got invited, so I'll get to mingle a little w/ the big boys on Friday night. It's always a little interesting going to parties similar to this when you don't use alcohol. We love our friends, and we always seem to have a great time anyway. As I tell them, they can always use me as their designated driver.

That blows, dawgspeare, I wonder why they got kicked out.
And yes, I'd say the Dawg nation is definitely running the gamut (?sp) of emotions this week.

My brother is having a huge tailgate party in Valdosta Friday. Probably not too far from where you guys will be. Stay safe and have a great time with your HS buddies, DawgSpeare! Same to everyone else heading south to the game! Shout a loud, \"GO DAWGS\" as you pass mi familia in Tifton!

Ok dapolla, you are going to have to meet up with sadlerdawg, averagedawg and myself at the UK game. Who else is going to that game?

Why dont we just score more than they do, and keep them from scoring more than we do. Dooley found a way to do that every year with what was traditionally one-dimensional I-formation power running football and killer defense......Of course, that sure as hell aint no Erk Russell in charge of our defense, now is it, LOL???
