Matthes clear on where loyalty lies

Siesta Key Village Association President Russell Matthes was in a jovial mood early on the morning of Jan. 3 as he convened the organization’s monthly meeting at the Daiquiri Deck Raw Bar. Before getting down to business, Matthes made it clear he’s a Gator fan by pointing out that Florida beat Ohio State the previous night.

Appropriately enough, the Gators won the Gator Bowl by a score of 24-17. Well, technically, it was the Taxslayer.com Gator Bowl, but we’re purists when it comes to college football.
