The anticipation for the weekend in Jacksonville was tantalizing. Everyone was itching to see the Florida Gators back in action after the LSU game that felt like it happened ages ago. As a first-timer to the famous matchup, Saturday could not come soon enough.
What added to the already high levels of excitement for the weekend was that my roommates and I decided to make a Gator Halloween costume to parade around the tailgates. This was no ordinary gator costume by any means; we decided to create a Chinese New Year dragon inspired mascot, complete with a Bulldog puppy getting chomped in its mouth.
