GOT SWAMPED IN THE SWAMP! NOT GOOD
Well that wasn't too hot. Auburn was ready for us. Too many mistakes on special teams. You can see why Coach Meyer says how important special teams is. It constitutes 1/3 of the overall game. Maybe this could be a wakeup call for us going into LSU. A few years ago the Gators with Coach Zook went into Baton Rouge. We had lost a couple of games, Zook's job was on the ropes and LSU was undefeated and ranked near the top and we upset them 19-7. I was there as that was my away game to fly with the team. Coach Zook asked Danny Wuerffel to speak to the team for breakfast the day of the game and to do a little prayer. Well it worked that day. I passed this on to Coach Meyer this week and maybe he will try to do the same thing. We will need something a little extra as LSU is real strong in all phases of the game.
Congrats to our Fan of the Week Tom Bradley from right here in Seminole, Fl. His Gator claim to fame was that he had the oppurtunity to kick a 40 yd. field goal at Florida Field for his daughter who even held the ball for him. Gator Trivia was won by Team URG8RB8 (you are gator bait) and guess the points $100.00 was won by Angela Munson. This week we will be giving away some tickets to Gator Growl for our homecoming during the Vandy game, along with some Bucs Tickets also. Well I gotta get going as I need to gather up my MOJO stick, get it all rubbed up and ready for LSU as I have been invited to fly with the team to this weeks game. I guess the University felt that maybe we could use a little MOJO for this game so I get to go back again. The best way for a Gator fan to go into Coon Ass territory is with a police escort with the team. I think the only thing they know how to do there is to shoot the "One Eye". I gotta go now so like King Gator says: "YA GOTTA GO TO GATORS" King Gator

4 - 0 and 8 TO GO! LET'S TAKE IT TO AUBURN WE WANT REVENGE!
It is always good to get a real wake up call and this last Saturday was a close one. I know Coach went to the offense at the end of the game and told them that you guy's have to run the clock out as I don't want our defense back out there. And guess what? They did exactly what he told them. That is a beginning of a championship team. We need to keep it rolling. Everyone will be gunning for us and don't think Auburn won't be ready.
Gators was hopping, even though it was a early game we filled up and the overflow went into the big tent, with big screen T.V. and Mixing Gator our live DJ keeping things pumped up. We will be having the tent open for the rest of the season and King Gator will be down there for a couple of games (FSU and SEC if we get there ). Congrats to the following winners: Mary McDonald for KG's Trivia, Denise Webb for Fan of the Week, Shane T. Hill for last weeks Fan of the Week, Happy B-Day to Holly again. JR. Gator set a new record with the ladies singing " We Are The Boys" behind the Saloon bar with 47. Seacoast Airlines showed up and gave away a round trip ticket to Key West from St. Petersburg/Clearwater airport. They will be back again this weekend. They are a new airline starting up. Only 80 minutes to Key West. Also for the first time a fan won a Queen Gator autographed purse and gator from the Queen herself, Mrs. Rice. I can tell there are not many of those around. So get there early next week and try to get your's as it will be a full house and the game has been moved to prime time ESPN 8:00 pm kickoff. Also since it is a late game we are going to set up a couple of Prime Rib carving stations and feature our famous Prime Rib with a baked potato and all of the fixin's. We thought this would be a good idea to get some meat and potatoes into our Gator Bellies so we will all be able to last for the whole game to cheer out Gator's on to victory. So like King Gator says: "YA GOTTA GO TO GATORS" KING GATOR

3-0 and 9 TO GO FROM ROCKY FLOP TO MISSISSIPPI NEXT
Well Fans that was some show put on by the Tebow/Harvin combo. They both look like Heisman Trophy caliber players, especially if they both keep playing like that. If Tebow can continue making plays like that and keep the defense guessing who knows how far the Gators can go this yearas long as our defense shows up. That was some offensive power show. Gators was rocking and it all got started with the annual SMASH,TRASH,CRASH the car. King Gator and his cohorts absconded this car from the Tenn. Chancellor's garage a couple of weeks ago and secretly shipped it to Treasure Island so we could dispose of it properly. Congrats to Lisa Nolan as she blasted the car so hard withthe sledge that she broke it and we had to get to the nearest Home Depot to get the bashing back on track during the pregame. Junior Gator has started his new One on One interview and it went real well so it will be a pregame feature from now on. We will be asking fans to come on up and talk Gator Football with JR. We also will continue with the expansion of the tent at the west end to help accommadate late arrivals. You can join Mixxin Gator our DJ down there along with King Gator and Junior Gator beginning 2 hours before kick-off. JR broke his 3rd quarter We Are The Ole Boy's Of Florida ladies sing-a-long record(of course that is unofficial until we review the video tape to verify the head count) behind the Saloon bar with 35. We had to chase our great bartenders out to make room. Our next game will be a real test to see if we can stay focused as Mississippi is a descent team but not in the same league as LSU. If we can keep on track the upcoming matchup with LSU will be one of the games of the year to watch in college football. King Gator is working on a Special Event for the FSU game. It has something to do with a DROP, FLOP, and POP. Stay tuned for upcoming details. Gotta go so like King Gator says: "YA GOTTA GO TO GATORS"

2 Down 10 TO GO LOOKING TOWARDS A ROCKY FLOP!
Look out SEC here come the GATORS! We open up our defense of the SEC crown next week with Tennessee. Our victory against Troy didn't come out unscathed as we had a couple of injuries. Caldwell and James being the most significant. Hopefully they will be able to bounce back.
We had an electric crowd for Troy. JR. Gator was able to set a new record for the ladies singing We Are The Boys behind the main Saloon bar with 27 ladies participating. Also our Fan of the Week for opening game was Dennis Shaeffer. He was the first one in and the last one out during our victory against W. Kentucky. Thanks to all of the fans that stopped by King Gator's Bead Boy stand and donated money in exchange for some of those unusual beads. Rumor has it he may be back for Tenn. Speaking of Tenn. we have a few things lined up for pregame. 2 hours before kick-off the first keg of beer is on me in the big tent on the east end of Gators along with our traditional SMASH, CRASH, and TRASH the Tennessee car. Come out early and help us decorate with proper game day slogans so we can set up for you fans to bash the car to oblivion. Looks like it may be a shootout at the OK Corral unles Coach Strong can get his defense to play a full game. We should win this game as we have much more firepower than Tenn. Congratulations to the winner of our Fan of the Week John Reese, he was nonstop cheering right up there with KG. We will probably let him take the first swing at the Tennessee car this Sat. Also the guessing of the total points scored is now up to $100.00. See you all there and like King Gator says: "YA GOTTA GO TO GATORS!" King Gator

ONE DOWN 11 TO GO! TROY STATE NEXT
Well for beginners not too bad. Sure would have liked to played the last few minutes to get the young guys some more playing time. Who says TEBOW can't throw. I think Coach Meyer wanted to put those rumors to bed and he sure did. Tebow finished with the 2nd best passer rating in the nation in 1A behind Brian Brohm of Louisville. We sure have a lot of offensive weapons. Defense does need some help and they had better get organized to get ready for Tenn. but Troy is next and they are no slouch.
I was a little confused when I saw # 12 on defense but evidently there are 2 or 3 duplicate #'s on the roster. Joe Haden and Johnny Brantley both wear #12, both are true freshman. Look this week for Coach to get Fayson and Riley Cooper more involved. Congrats to D.S. our secret fan of the week. He/She will be announced @ this weeks game. He/She was the first one there and the last one out. I will have our P/A system glitches worked out. No more feed back. You got to let the King talk to the fans and get them oiled up for the action. If you weren't there this past week you missed King Gator presenting Junior Gator with a authenic Florida Gator football jersey with the entire coaching staff autograph's. To say the least JR was very excited and his award is well deserved. Don't miss his pre-game show and all of his predictions. Time to go see you at Gators this weekend and like King Gator says: "YA GOTTA GO TO GATORS" King Gator

06 NATIONAL CHAMPS OPEN AGAINST W. KENTUCkY
King Gator here to tell you that I can't wait for some football. All indications are that we will be right there with the rest of the pack but for us it is just a little more special as we are the defending National Champs and as you know they all will be gunning for us. When Coach Meyer visited Gators oveR the Memorial weekend with his entire staff for King Gator's Annual Coaches Party he was very excited about the new class coming in and felt that he will be able to put up a good team with a lot of new faces and to follow in the footsteps of last years National Champs.
We have a great amount of special activities lined up for this year such as Our Fan of the Week, JR. Gator's pre-game show and predictions, Gator Trivia, introducing Miss Gators Bikini contest winner during the Fla. vs. Troy Sept. 8, Sept. 15 FLAvsTENN. Kick the Keg 1st. Keg FREE! under the Big Tent along with our annual "Smash-Bash-Trash" Tenn. car. Auburn (SKIN THE CAT) Sept. 29. LSU paint your game day face so while the King is away you all will play(I'm flying with the team to Baton Rouge, last time I was there with the team was when Coach Zook beat'em for their onl;y loss of the year 19-7, so Coach Meyer wanted to keep the winning streak going.) Hopefully we can put a damper on their National Championship Title hopes. For further details you can get on our web site and next week we will have all of the activities posted for you. www.gatorscafe.com. We even have a Poker Run coming up Oct.. 6. Now that is a site to see over 60 Hi-Speed Go-Fast boats all tied up at Gators for lunch. Well FANS that's all for now. Will be back on Monday with the results of our opening game. Keep an eye on Fayson, He will be having a coming out party this year. My prediction is that he should be one of the top picks for 1st or 2nd team ALL SEC if he doesn't get injured. and remember like King Gator says: 'YA GOTTA GO TO GATORS! KING GATOR
