No time for school - there's football on Saturday


We're only a few hours from kickoff for this year's Georgia - Florida NCAA football game, but yesterday students in the Clarke County, Georgia schools got an unexpected day off when the school district cancelled school because so many teachers had called in sick so they could go down to Florida for the big game.

On the other hand, maybe the school cancellation wasn't that unexpected, because it is on the Clarke County School's schedule, and they have also cancelled school Monday and Tuesday, as well, for something called Fall Holiday.
