Is it a current fad to wear hair long? I could see it as an advantages, now that I have little hair left, to have a lot of hair in winter. Only speaking for me, pixie hair cuts are still cute. I do believe the lousy and undependable play of the football team has cast an aura of malaise over the athletic program. Hopefully, we will get over it because we have a lot of other great athletic teams. We are having fantastic low humidity, cool nights and perfect days in Florida great for doing anything outdoors. Paula and I will take your advise and walk the Withlacoochie trail. We try to do at least 10,000 steps a day, same as Randoo. A.

The basketball team shows a lot of promise. After starting out on a definite cold shooting streak, the Gators got it together and played a very good game. The freshmen got significant minutes and Scottie Wilbekin in particular is one to watch. I doubt that they have the firepower to beat Ohio State, but they could prove me wrong. Chandler Parsons' effort was very impressive. The basketball team wore five different styles of shoes. White with orange trim appears to be standard issue. Alex Tyus stands out with all orange. Vernon Macklin's are the best--combination orange and blue with white. The Gator Dazzlers must be required to have long hair. Shouldn't short-haired girls get a chance too? The fan support for bb is disappointing. The season opener for a team that could very well win the SEC should have been close to a sellout--especially when you consider all the fans in town for the football game the next day. Tuesday's game against Ohio State is still not sold out. Do Gator fans not care about basketball any more? Are we unwilling to support a team unless it's national championship material? In a bad mood because of football? Speaking of fan support, I predict the bowl game will cost UF money because they won't be able to sell the required tickets. We happened to see the football team buses leaving the stadium Friday night and on their way back into town Saturday. Looked like they were about 20 minutes late arriving for Gator Walk, which maybe was a bad omen. The last two games, in lieu of tailgating, we have eaten at Gator Corner, the campus dining hall southwest of the stadium. It's a mob scene before game time and there are lines at the various food stations, but at $6 a head for all you can eat, you can't beat the price. I had some very tasty shrimp grits last night. I don't quite get the new "card" section. They've got a group of students (below the Work 'em Silly sign and to the south) who wear what appear to be large bibs--orange on one side and blue on the other. A leader down on the field holds up a "Get Ready" sign and then switches to "Go" when they are supposed to do something. It looks very cool when they wave the bibs around. However, when they (apparently) are attempting to form letters, it rarely appears clear to me (across the field) just what they are trying to form. Sometimes it might be an F and sometimes it might be a D (for defense), but it doesn't look that great. Anybody know anything about what's going on? It was a beautiful day in north central Florida. My day included a walk on the Withlacoochee State Trail in Citrus County, which I definitely recommend to you bicycle fans.
