  Florida vs Miami

The last time the Gators beat the Canes, it was September 7, 1985. That's way to long ago. So let's all come out and watch the Gators finally show the Canes who the best team in the state really is!  This game is so big, ESPN's College Football Gameday will be broadcasting all day from Gainesville! Action starts this Saturday, September 6th at 5:00 pm. The games will be broadcast at all our locations (Hooters of Burbank, Costa Mesa, and Ontario Mills, Tony P's of Marina Del Rey, and Big Wangs of Hollywood). Click here for directions.

We will be raffling off some special, season long prizes. They are a signed Billy Donovan basketball and a signed Tim Tebow poster. Tickets are 1 for $3 or 2 for $5. If you have questions, let us know at socalgators@gmail.com
Go Gators!
