I was going to gleefully share with you my joy at watching the Gators in unprecedented clarity, when I noticed a lot of empty seats in the stadium. I couldn't go to this game, but what about my decision for Lousyana or Jax State? If I elect to stay home with my new best friend, LG, and there are empty seats at those games, am I any less a "loyal supporter" of the Gators? If I have the time and money to go, and don't, will that be a reflection of a lack of Gatorness (Gatorhood) on my part? I was a lot more comfortable with watching from my living room when every home game was sold out. Now, I'm not sure what to think. Advice? Opinions?
