Welcome to Florida! Joe Dees and I should hold a ceremony to add you to the
Florida contingent (over some fine English beer and gator tail?)
Be sure to get familar with the Miami Hurricanes and the Florida State
Seminoles. Chances are that you will be hearing about them a lot there
around "the Swamp". Be sure to ask your colleagues about the "choke in (or
at?) Doak" and if they are familar with "Saint Bobby" ;-)
Seriously, the Canes, Gators, Noles triad has been a dominant force in
college football for quite some time. Just look at the Top Ten over the
years.
