Florida-Georgia Game Day Watch

Today, at 3:30 p.m, the Florida-Georgia Football game is played in Everbank Stadium in beautiful Jacksonville, Florida.  My Florida Gators have had a tough season this year (2014).  We've lost some tough games and some of our stars haven't reached their potential.  Our coach Will Muschamp is definitely on the hot seat.  However, I hope that the Gators can overcome their problems and come together for an upset victory over the Georgia Bulldogs.  It would be a stunning upset and there's nothing more fun than upsetting a football rival.

My official watch for today's game will be one of Game Time's with our toothy logo front and center. Amazon.com has a ton of them!


However, Bulldog fans shouldn't fret.  They can get a wristwatch of their own.  Of course, they may need to get someone to help them learn to read it.

How did the 2014 Florida-Georgia game turnout?  The Florida Gators surprised Georgia with a fake field goal for a touhch down and then chomped down on the Bulldogs.  They never let up with an amazing running attack and beat them 38-20.

As a English major who graduated from Florida in the late 80s, I know victory doesn't make the hero.  Overcoming adversity, facing challenges, suffering set backs and then rising to victory makes heroes.  I hope that the team enjoys the winning feeling.  If they persevere, fight hard and win many of the remaining games, they'll be bowl bound!

Today (August 31st) is College Colors Day!

College football season is starting again!  According to ESPN, today is wear your college colors day. For me, that means digging out an orange and blue polo shirt and finding a Florida Gators watch.  I might wear this GameTime Agent watch . . .


As I update this post in 2025, I've got to say there are plenty of great collegiate watches available today. One of my favorite is this Timex Collegiate Tribute Citation watch. You can read my full review of the Timex Citation watch here on the blog.
