    Police escorts?

    Who is it that gets the police motorcycles and cars escort, followed by about 5 yellow buses, followed by more police on the I4?

    Seen it twice in a few days now.

    And just to add to the intrigue.....I saw the motorcade go in to Gaylord Palms and police outside.
    Wonder if the teams for the FSU and Notre Dame are staying there, or around??

    It is the Champs Bowl at the moment, and these buses are for the teams. We saw the Florida State Seminole's cavalcade yesterday ... quite an impressive site ... for College Football - yes, that's correct, this isn't even yet professional football and this is the treatment the college players get. In saying that, these buses carry the future Pro football players.

    The game itself is on the 29th, so you may want to avoid the Citrus Bowl area on that day!

    In the American South, college football is "the" sport. People tend to follow college games as intently as any professional sport. One of the most interesting invitations you can get from a local is to be invited to a college game. Really entirely different atmosphere than professional sporting events.

    Have to agree with you our sons are avid college sports fanatics (it drives me mad when they get together) they both still support their American univiersity teams and no longer bother with supporting any UK football or sports teams.
