.....the first was a full-body hug from SPS user Brianthedawg that must have lasted 30 seconds, right before the final knee.
The second was one from Megan Mullen. When she and Dan were walking out, Dan was talking to some people and getting pictures, and I tapped her on the arm and said congratulations. She came and gave me a hug and said "Thank you for letting us come to Mississippi State. This is awesome." I said "No, thank YOU for coming to Mississippi State." Nice lady, I really believe the stories now about how happy she is in Starkville.
Great day...among other events:
1. Had lunch at Satchel's Pizza.....the place Todd Blackledge used for Taste Of The Town last week. Best pizza in the SEC. I will never come to Florida again and not eat at Satchel's.
2. The UF bookstore was selling these white shirts with orange and blue Albert the Gator, saying "Beat Mississippi State". I want one of these shirts.
3. Got my cowbell taken at the end of the game by a security guard. It wasn't my good cowbell, it was the one whose clapper gets stuck. Handed it to him happily. Went down to him a couple minutes later and he gave it back and took a picture with me.
4. Chest-bumped Joseph Iupe after the game. The awesomeness of this need not be stated.
5. The Florida team leaves out the same entrance as the visiting team. Most of them ride out on these little scooters, so they all left to gator chomps, cowbells, and cheers from a HUGE throng of MSU supporters.
6. We also got to take care of Urban Meyer as he left. Pretty sweet.
7. 123 games in a row now.....this was the best one yet. The 600 miles back will feel like 60, I'm quite sure.

re"> because he rides a scooter all over campus</span>. I hear a bunch of the players ride them. I guess schools are now giving players scooters to ride around campus on, so it isn't obvious that they actually got an Escalade parked back at the dorms for date night. <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space
