[QUOTE="AlabamaBuzz, post: 273571, member: 906"] I know a lot of folks did not like Dave Braine, but I wanted to share a story about the 1999/2000 Gator Bowl. My family and I had ordered tickets through the school. At that time, we only had my salary, which wasn't huge, and our family budget was extremely tight. When I got the tickets, I saw that my myself, my wife, and my 2 small kids would have to sit in nosebleed seats. It was kind of understandable, but frustrating all at the same time. We were not fund donators or season ticket holders, so I understood getting not so great seats from that perspective, but when I looked online and saw how many of the better seats were still available, it was disheartening to a dad who wanted to give this experience to his young children. I sent an email to the AD, and he worked with the Athletic office to get us tickets at the will-call when we got to Jaguars stadium that put us at the 30 yard line in the lower section. My children had a blast, even though we lost to Miami that day, and I was so appreciative of what he had done for us. He even checked up on us at some point to find out if our seats were acceptable, which he did not have to do. I was a very, very young alumni at the time, and I will never forget the great time we had, and of course, I have the photos of my children with Buzz that day. Merry Christmas everyone. I won't be there this year, because my son is only home for 2 weeks from the military, and he is disabled now from a bad accident last year, so hopefully, in the near future I can go to another bowl game.
