Mr Smith Goes to The Super Bowl...Courtesy of Rio/Skybook

Journeyman · Jan 31, 2005

We should most definitely get a question and answer with Mr Smith of his journey to the Super Bowl...

He is still going correct?

For those that do not know, Mr Smith won an Rx sponsored contest and won a trip to the Super Bowl, would be nice to track his trip...

I moved here about a week ago. I was living in Connecticut, but our company has moved to Ponte Vedra, FL. Which is a nice suberb of Jacksonville.PGA tour HQ is here, it's a nice place to live. I like it so far. Eagles are staying just a couple blocks from me.

I'm staying in an apartment until I have time to find a place to live. Its really weird that this happened right before the trip I won, but that is life. I lobbied hard for our company to move to South Florida, to no avail.

Skybook gave me an extra dime cash since I told them I dont need airfare or a hotel. Its really a bummer. That prize package was going to be SO COOL. Airfare, limo pick-up great hotel, limo to the game.

I really wish the NFL would have put this game somewhere fun like New Orleans. Why they stuck the superbowl in Jacksonville I'll never know. I honestly thought about asking Skybook to postpone this trip for one year and I'd take it next year, but the game is in Detroit next year. Detroit? In January? Sounds like oodles of fun, but no thanks.

Boss did not like the VERY COLD winter in New England last year and wanted to get the hell out of there. They got their house sold and we got out just before the blizzard hit.

We had moved to CT from Atlanta a year before. I told them before we moved not to move there, they wouldnt like it, but they DONT LISTEN to me!!!!!!

ParkCityRep · Jan 31, 2005

what company Mr. Smith, and what part of CT, I live in BPT the largest city in CT

Mr.Smith · Jan 31, 2005

its a small family operation my brother in law owns. my stupid sister was the one who wanted to move to Connecticut since we lived there until we were 7 and she has always been dying to go back.

I tried to tell her we have changed a lot and would not like it there. It was crazy moving there, but no one listens to me. We were in Simsbury.

Thanks guys!

Maybe the game will be a real thriller this year...............

Journeyman · Jan 31, 2005

Mr Smith do you know who you are taking yet?

To the game and who you are playing?

Mr.Smith · Jan 31, 2005

taking my dad.

have not handicapped the game yet. probably will take the eagles +7.5

I am looking forward to attending if Fishhead has any events in Tampa I can get to.

I bought a couple tickets to see the World Champion Red Sox play at Tampa in the second week of the season. For a bad team, its surprising to see how much the Devil Rays are charging for tickets.

I'm not a patriots fan though. In football, having grown up in south florida, I am a dolphins fan. We used to have season tickets when Marino was in his prime in the eighties.

At least they finally dumped Wannstedt, maybe they can get things turned around.

CoachLT · Jan 31, 2005

Mr. Smith, I live in Jax on the southside. Been here since 59. If you would like to correspond my email is LATSR@AOL.COM Would love to hear from you. I will also be going to the RX Bash in august. hope you have a great time at the game. LT

Mr.Smith · Feb 1, 2005

have not had a chance to see much around here yet, been very busy. But it does seem like a nice place to live. I always liked living in florida and by the beach.

will be better around here when it warms up. compared to connecticut, I aint complaining, but it sure isnt warm lately.

Journeyman · Feb 1, 2005

Good Luck Mr Smith, give us a full rundown when you get back...
