Football season

Well, my big sister has been bugging me to blog for a month now, but I didn't really have anything exciting to blog about (it's not like I live in Europe or anything...) until this weekend. Sarah provided me with one of the all time greatest topics to talk about: she got me a subscription to see ALL of the UF Gator football games online!!!! I have been looking forward to football season since....well, since the end of last season, basically. I've had a knot of excitement in my stomach for 2 weeks now. Saturdays are my day off and I had been planning to bus into Belfast for the day and walk around the city and go to the movies until I remembered that Florida was playing Hawaii at 5:30 (my time, anyways). I immediately scratched all my plans for the day. At 5:30 I sat down at my computer breathless making all sorts of excited squeals and ooohs of anticipation. I almost died of happiness at kick-off. I LOVE FOOTBALL. The first quarter was fairly disappointing with no score and lots of penalties, but I had faith in my Gators. Things started happening in the second quarter and the third and the fourth until we ended with a blowout of 52-10. I am so excited for this year. Not only do we have Heisman winner Tim Tebow at quarterback, but did you see Jeffrey Demps? My word! That boy can run! And he's not even supposed to be our best receiver. We still have the porcelain doll that is Percy Harvin waiting to heal up (AGAIN) before he goes out and does his crazy-speed thing on the field. Our young defense now has a year of experience and held up against a solid Hawaii throwing game. Oh, and Brandon James- who is MY size- will be out there to run every punt back for a touchdown. It was a little bittersweet doing the Gator chomp alone, but it will make it that much more thrilling for me to do it with 90,000 of my best friends when I visit Gainesville in October for our homecoming game against UK. Well, there's my first Hendley family blog =) Go Gators!!!----Booboo ;)
