Finally!

So on Saturday I g0t this call from a familiar voice. It was Katie asking me if i would like to join her to go to the Florida Football Fan Day! After much consideration i opt to go meet the players and coaches and get some autographs. in order to prepare for this event i read in the paper to see when the event started to find that it kicked off at noon and ran till two but they have been known for closing the doors and leaving hundreds outside in the heat empty handed. So the plan was to get there early. Katie calls me and tells me it starts at one, so i told her what i read but she was so adamant that she was right and she had read the paper as well. So I keep my mouth shut and don't argue with the locals and start to second guessing myself that what i read could have possibly be wrong, considering my head was throbbing at the time and much was going on while reading the newspaper at Starbucks. So we both agreed that we would meet up around eleven and casually walk to the non crowded lines to meet the 09' Gators. NO!!! I wake up Sunday around ten about this time 4,000 people had already lined up outside the O'Connell Center (where fan day was held). I get ready, eat, and call Katie to see where she is at. She was on her way stuck in a little traffic since all freshman where moving in at this time. Meanwhile I went to my car to get my wallet when i come across Saturday's newspaper. I grab the paper to check to see who was right of course and well... i read and i quote... "Fan day will run from noon till two doors will open at 11:30 but many fans have been known to line up hours in advance." I looked at my phone checked the time and it was eleven. At this time Katie pulls up! Perfect timing Katie or not depending on how you look at it. I hand her the paper. She freaks out and we race to find a parking spot and run to the back of the line, the line that was wrapped all the way around the O'Connell Center. Thats right we where in the very back number 6,001 and 6,002. I hate to say it Katie, but im right once again! We must have stood in the line for a good hour with no hope running through our mind that we would be able to meet the 09' Gators. Luckily they let everyone in at once and made you choose which autographs you wanted. I raced to the coaches line considering i already have Tim Tebow's autograph (thank you Emily). The lines where stationed by position and each line would take an hour plus to get through. After meeting, talking, and receiving the coaches autographs we ran around like kids taking pictures of the players signing. Turns out we had a great time at Fan Day 2009.
