I am just happy that I don't have to lost any cigars in this deal! LOL I had to put my faith is Florida but I did that with ND, and it cost me...fine by me since I don't and won't bet on LSU, but go GATORS
Melly
Congratulations Melly! Only person with enough faith to place a bet (without whining for points)! Smokes are on the way!! About the only good thing in Glendale, AZ. was the weather!!
Great facility for a game, just too bad there wasn't one!
The BCS does know how to throw a party, and the entire Phoenix area made fans from both teams feel very welcome, but like most cities, it was very hard to find to find a place to enjoy a cigar. Several of the bars and restaurants, while having smoking sections, did not allow cigar or pipe smoking, except on the outside. Before the game, the BCS throws "The World's Largest Tailgate" party in the parking lot, so I was able to enjoy a couple of cigars before the "route"! And after the game, had another with a bunch of extremely happy Gator fans, but must admit, it didn't taste nearly as good as the pre-game smokes!!
As others have so eloquently pointed out, with the exception of Ginn's kick-off return (and then he hurt his foot celibrating :whistling: ), Florida dominated every aspect of the game, on offense, defense, special teams, and coaching, it was a "woodshedding"!
Congratulations Gators on a well deserved National Championship!
For those of you who had to have points in order to bet, I suggest you wager cash with a bookie or an offshore site, but I doubt if they will take a cigars as payment, as points and cash are what guarantee those who make a living on gambling winning in the long term. A friendly wager of a few cigars, in my opinion, is about the passion one feels for his/her favorite team, and, despite the odds, for or against,
knows that their team is going to win, and is willing to risk a few smokes with someone who is equally as passionate about their team. Although I must admit, I'm glad that Melly was the only person on this board with enough "stones" to take the Gators, as it could have been an even more expensive trip to Glendale!
Congratulations, again, Melly and enjoy your smokes!!
Go Bucks!!
