Kickoff time TBA...I'm not looking forward to this one....can't wait to see the Rockets, but the heat and humidity will be brutal.

Plenty of nice cold beer before the game should rectify that problem. Come to think of it that would probably work for the fans as well.

Any idea at which hotel the Rockets will be staying?

I believe there is a UF Hilton Conference Center, I would be surprised if they weren't staying there. I'll try to check with some contacts.

I'm going to sit out at the beach and pool during the heat of the day to train for this one.

Not sure that helps Boca. I know a lot of places where I wouldn't be surprised they weren't staying at - like the Hilton in Toledo for example. Too long a drive from the hotel to the stadium...

Sounds like a normal day for you.

Not for a while. Between a new job for the last year, getting the oldest through her last year of college, etc. I've barely had any freetime, but I'm willing to try.

WOW 4 TICKET LIMIT.. THAT MUST MEAN UT IS EXPECTING A GOOD ROCKET CROWD.

...or perhaps it means Florida does not have any problems selling out the Swamp to their own fan base and they don't want to turn any more gator fans away than is necessary.

They didn't sell out last year against BG. I doubt they sell out after after their embarrassing loss against Louisville in last years Sugar Bowl.

They're #11 in the ESPN preseason poll and it's Labor Day Weekend.
An interesting thing is, this is UF's first season for a young alumni section in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.

Unfortunately I doubt that UT will sell out our section. We will not bring as many people as LSU, Alabama, etc. do the Florida.

I thought the turnout@FIU was decent. I would expect it to be 3-4 times as great. Alot of former Toledoans on the West Coast of Fl--Naples up through Inverness. Plus you've got about a dozen Fl players on the Rocket roster that will have family and friends turnout. I would
guess some Rocket recruits might also be in attendance.

No doubt that there will be a good size UT contingent. But look at the red sections at Florida's stadium (a couple rows behind the bench, then the upper right hand corner). UT will not bring that many fans.
