    "You know I flipped the cameras. It was a beautiful thing, flipping those cameras. You're welcome."

    Glad they went. Sounds like the president actually watched the game.

    I was there. TG was fantastic and so was the Prez. The Prez said Haugh had beautiful hair. It was hilarious. Tebow is still a massive star when he walks in the room. We waited in the East Room an hour before the Prez showed and people were yelling ORANGE…BLUE and singing We Are The Boys.

    They had a classical duo when you first walked in and they were playing Won’t Back Down. I could go on but don’t want to bore. It was a great Gator Day.

    I’m glad Zel was there. If, as noted elsewhere, he didn’t join the team in the Chomp that shows his awareness of what he once was but no longer is.

    Why wouldn’t he have watched the game? It’s a team from his home state who won the natty!

    I don't think this counts as Trump using it.

    I just saw it on YouTube last night, it was special and the team looked great, happy, composed. Holden spoke a few words, as usual, he was gracious and said the right things. I thought Walter looked distracted or out of place or I dunno what, just off - unlike the rest of the team. Richard, Martin, and Haugh looked happy and smiled a lot. Now, on the video, Clayton was behind Trump so it was hard to see him like some of the others.
    Don’t know if I’m allowed to say this and don’t want to stir up the TDS, but the president was friendly, gracious, respectful and hilarious!

    Oh, he was backstage, adjusting the ceiling mounted flood lights. He did a good job!

    I noticed that from Walter as well. He had his game face on. I was thinking maybe he has some strong feelings about Trump that are best left unsaid. Who knows?

    I read they were having a hard time getting the 15” Sony Triniton television at Mar-a-lago to tune in properly; apparently, they recorded the game on Betamax for later viewing.
