SIDE SALAD - Everything crunchy is good.

THE FLOWER OF VICTORY

The afterglow that came with the University of Florida's win in the national championship game on Monday night has yet to subside.

Least of which for my Uncle Pete, (yes, the one who was in the paper posing with a potato he grew that was shaped like a moose.) He's a massive fan of the Gators. Even has great affection for Steve Spurrier.

Uncle Pete, who breeds hibiscus hybrids, went so far as to create one in honor of UF.

He writes:

"Here it is - GATOR PRIDE.

Beautiful. I will try to get a cutting started for you.

[As for the game, there are] Two sides to every story. I'm glad we are on the right side this time. The GATORS destroyed them. Why??? HEART---COACHING--MISTAKES--No question,---- GATORS-----all of them-----not just one------TEAM-TEAM-TEAM. All this and Ohio thought it would be a breeze. Once again, it was all of the above.

The more I see of Meyer, the more I like him. As they say, Life goes on.

I still love Spurrier... wish him the very best... it is time to move on, GO GATORS!!!
