Happy Valentine's Day to UGA fans! A win over the Gators is even much appreciated here in Tallahassee!

Basketball: The FSU Victory Over Ga. Tech

Now on to the sport that apparently they do get excited about around here-basketball! It might also have something to do with that they are winning and making a run at the ACC right now. So last week I attended my first FSU basketball game because they were playing-yep you guessed it- Ga. Tech. So I had to go do my duty as the Dawgs ambassador and cheer against the jackets. Now we all know the state of UGA basketball this year so this was a much improved basketball atmosphere than what I am used to!



So I do not know any of the player's names so I cheered for them by features. To the right is sock boy



Just for you guys - below is a picture of the Nationally 2nd place FSU Golden Girls (who knew they ranked that kind of thing!)






And here we have the Tech bench looking dejected....






And the last shot to seal the 62-58 win!

Football

Well as I found out during the fall that football is not the sport they get excited about here. I was really surprised too. The traffic, tailgating and everything was like a ghost town compared to Athens on game day! There was finally a weekend that we had an early game and FSU had a late game so I was off to experience some ACC football. I mean FSU is supposed to be a big football school right?

Even for a key ACC matchup against Boston College, a night game on espn, and was their version of "the blackout" the crowd was sparse, no tailgating in the sense like I am used to in Athens. The fans in the section where I sat were making fun of their own team and got more excited and paid better attention to the bobblehead race on the big screen than they did the game.

We just have no idea how lucky we are in Athens until we have to do without!
