Florida State Information

Hey everyone, Linette O’Neil has done her research and has shared some really helpful information about the Florida State Game. She told me I could pass it on. She has organized a bus leaving from Orlando. Right now she has 26 people signed up. The game is Sept 18 @ 3:30 ET. She is working on getting group tickets. If you are interested in being a part of her ticket group please email her at Redsnapper73@aol.com Payments for tickets are due no later than July 21, 2010 in order to qualify for group ticket pricing. Tickets are $30, normal ticket price is $55. Sections for the visiting team are 14-16, 117-122, & 220-222 the sooner we order our tickets the better the guarantee we will ALL sit together! She is selling T-shirts if you are interested and will be $6 sizes S-L. Larger sizes will be $8 XL-3XL. Bus will be $50 pp round trip and the payment is due July 29, 2010. Just let her know.

Proud to be an American and a Cougar

Still just counting down the days. Only 32 until camp starts. We also want to welcome home Austin Holt. He got back from his mission on Wednesday. Go Cougs.

Football season is just around the corner, in fact, let the countdown begin. Fall Camp is in 37 days. It is not too early to start planning your trips. We have a home game first with Washington on September 4. We are trying to put together a tailgater for our families. There are many different governing bodies so keep your fingers crossed. We are making some progress but still have more work to do to get us a spot. After Washington, we are off to Air Force and Florida State. I have gathered some information on those locations. I don’t claim to be the travel know-it-all so please let me know any information or recommendations that you would like to share. We are in this together.
