The Editorial Board understands that college students will be, well, college students come Thursday evening.
Two days from now you will diligently trade in your notebooks for Natural Light, and laptop for lemon drops.
Unless you go to UF, how often does your football team make the championship game, anyway?
While we’d all like to be in Miami to see the game in person, staying local is easily the second best option.
From beer pong to ice luges, Gainesville (sorry Norman) will prove to be a mecca of partying, debauchery and if things unfold as we expect — celebration as the Gators take home the BCS championship.
We realize everyone celebrates in their own unique manner. Many students will descend upon University Avenue for peaceful rioting, while others will gleefully buy rounds of shots for complete strangers at Gator’s Dockside.
The Editorial Board asks that you pay careful attention to Gainesville’s laws and refrain from relishing the victory by starting a bonfire. Don’t end your night early by getting arrested for having a 12–foot–flame burning in your backyard. Even worse, we would hate to see you make a poor decision and ruin everyone’s fun by spending the evening in the hospital.
Run around campus proclaiming your love for Tim Tebow or ascend upon Florida Field and pretend you are Louis Murphy catching the game–winning touchdown.
You still have a hankering for fire? Tune in Thursday to see Percy Harvin burn corners and Jeff Demps smoke safeties — a bonfire for Oklahoma’s BCS chances.
