Giving myself the game ball

When Steve Spurrier roamed the sidelines for the Gators, he had certain games where he could just feel that he was in a coaching groove. The ball plays were strung together flawlessly, the game management was crisp, and the score was lopsided.

In those moments, he was known to pull a peculiar move: awarding himself a game ball for his contribution to the team’s victory.

So the Lindsay S. Memorial Tailgater of the Week Award for Week 12 goes to … (drumroll) …

ME.

Even after 20 years of hosting home tailgates in Gainesville, the playlist still slaps, the jambalaya still smacks, and the bourbon-gingers are as strong as ever.

Life is good in Sims City.

(Lindsay would’ve rolled her eyes before laughing at this.)
