    Growing up watching all of those whoppings led me to believe that UGA was just some scrub team in the conference that we always played. I had no idea it was a rivalry until I began lurking on the boards.

    @TrueGator said : The downtown Orlando environment is terrible for a game. Too much crime on the streets, parking is a mess, and getting out of downtown after the game takes hours. The stadium environment is just as bad. It takes forever to get in and out of the stadium itself, and the concession lines are impossible. I went to the last two games we held there, and, I will never go again. And, hey, I lived 35 years in the Orlando area, so, I'm not being biased. Hard no for an Orlando game.[/QUOTE]

    Haven’t been there in years. Last I recall was a Miss St game in the 90’s. Drive by all the time and traffic does not need a game to suck..

    Yeah I was too until I read that.

    Although the UM game a few years ago wasn’t a bad deal.

    Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of nice areas in Central Florida like Winter Springs and Lake Mary. But, Orlando proper is a blue-hole. Another shooting downtown this week when a guy randomly shot eight people on the street.

    Huh, where's the puppy fan who insisted that since kirby wanted it to be home and home that it would happen because he always gets what he wants. ;)
