Homecoming

From A:

It's homecoming weekend in Gainesville, and the crowds of alums in orange and blue apparel have descended upon the city. Since it's such a special weekend, Mother Nature has decided to treat us to come cooler temperatures. For this afternoon's game against Arkansas, we can expect it to be about 68 degrees at kickoff and 63 degrees once we've won the game. Should be a beautiful day!

Our tickets this week are on row 20 of the end zone near the band. Here's to hoping we're in a location where we don't have to hear the full force of the band throughout the entire game.

In a barely related side note, J saw an extremely cute sight while he was at the stadium picking up football tickets. There next to him, on a leash and harness, was a pet rabbit out for a walk with its owner. This picture isn't the actual rabbit, but it gives you an idea of the cuteness:

After seeing the rabbit, we learned some interesting facts about rabbits as pets (house rabbits):
1. Since their necks can break easily, they need to use a harness with a leash instead of just a collar. I'm not sure if the rabbit in the photo has a harness or not. This might explain his expression.
2. They can be trained to use a litter box and come when they are called.
3. They are social animals that like companionship, but don't like to cuddle (which is very disappointing since they are so cute!).
So, now you know a few things about rabbits that you might not have known otherwise.

If you plan to watch the game today on CBS, look for us in the stands. We'll be wearing orange and blue.
