FSU Scrapes By Boston College 24-19 - And We Got to Sit in the President's Box

Florida State Football improved their record to 6-1 today as they barely got by Boston College 24-19. Quarterback Christian Ponder threw three inceptions in a row followed by a fumble - but near the end the defense clamped down and insured the victory.

Lulu and I were invited to sit in the president's box today and got to meet the new FSU president - Eric Barron. Before coming to FSU he was a professor at Penn State for many years. The honor of sitting in the president's box is given to large donors and faculty that do something special - place your bets on which one we were.

While watching the game in the President's Box - almost any food and beverage is available. This was the second time we have watched a game from there. Yes - the seats are far from the field - but you do have comfortable chairs to watch the 4 hour games. Also - during inclement weather it is ideal. In Tallahassee - we have plenty of wet games and hot games - sometimes even some cold games - but today the weather was perfect and we had the windows wide open.
Quite frankly - I was surprised at how often I watched plays on the monitors for more detail - must be my eyes.
