Florida Gators Get Their Own “Snow Days”

Posted by Stiletto Jen 181 views

I doubt anything will top this during the actual game so I’m going to consider this my fun, Fascinating and just plain weird fact of the game:

A lot of schools in the Northeast had Snow Days this week due to the icy slushy falling around them.

Here in Florida, our schools had Football Days where kids don’t have to go to class because of the Championship football game!

From ESPN.com:

Florida coach Urban Meyer basically said Wednesday that his team has blown off the books all week: “We’ve asked our players to focus on the task at hand, to win this game, and then everything is in place once we get back to catch up. … We just don’t have time with all the functions and practice going on. We’ve discussed that, but we’ve made the decision that we accelerate the process once we get back.”

In other words, no annoying academics have compromised the Gators’ preparation.

No school, no school, la lala la lala!

I am so proud to live in this state sometimes. And we wonder why the state’s the state’s average SAT score is below the national average!

I just hope the basketball team gets the same consideration!
