What's "Go Gators" in French?

Haven't had internet access since last week. What a drag...thankfully, they came around today to fix it. Apparently, our cable hookup outside was so bad that it was amazing we were evn getting cable...a really bad splicing job held together by tape and sheer will.
Kinda stoked that the Gators got into the championship game against Ohio State. No school has everr held the championships for basketball and football in the same year, and that will most likely continue as I fear the Gators will have their asses handed to them in shoe boxes.
My old college roommate and I, and possibly some others, are planning a trip to Europe next May or June. Sweet! I think the idea will be to visit the south of France and maybe Spain, hanging around the Mediterranean coast. I plan on being a typical tourist, as whenever I head back to Europe, I usually do family stuff. (It's kinda like going to my brother's in Clinton, but instead of a car, I take a plane to get there, and I have to pretend I understand more French than I really do. "Malhereusement, je ne vous comprends pas. Vous parlez plus vite!" How's that, eh?! That's my entire allotment of French for the year, mind you.) Not that I mind the family stuff...I get totally immersed in the culture, and of course, I get to hang with my oldest sis and the fam. Getting immersed in the culture is what most visitors strive to do, so I'm fairly lucky. Nevertheless, I still want to be a tourist.
I went to see Borat this weekend. Weird. Also, trauma inducing in certain parts...Overall, though, it was very funny!
