Sticks of Fire: a Tampa blog

I’d like to announce a slightly belated welcome to all students, fans, alumni and football players of the Wisconsin Badgers and the Georgia Bulldogs. Both schools’ teams are in town for the annual Outback Bowl. I hope everyone enjoys the great hospitality that Tampa Bay has to offer. This week the players enjoyed a great steak dinner from Outback Steakhouse, and visited the kids at St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital. They also had a day of fun at Busch Gardens. Yesterday’s weather for the Clearwater Beach outing was beautiful, but it seems that Georgia might be more focused on football. The Wisconsin Cheerleaders won the tug of war, and Badger fans took the top spots in the sand castle building and the Key lime pie eating contests. The Outback Bowl parade is Friday night, and the game will be broadcast on ESPN on Saturday morning. Welcome all of you from Wisconsin and Georgia – have a great time!
