Quote Of The Day
-
“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

Owned is a strong word – the only real beat down I can recall was 50something to nothing – but there were a lot of wins and they were fun games, indeed. Frequently some last minute dagger got plunged into the hearts of the Gators. Everyone knows “Run, Lindsay, run”, but for drama Appleby to Washington is pretty close. Too many recent games seemed like us losing rather than them winning. Just dispatch Mizzou as we expect and then don’t shit the sheets; that’s what I am hoping for.

Mayor, I was pointing out that we owned the Gators in the 70-80s, which was the question. But to play your game, I’ll point out that we’re 3-3 in the current decade and 4-6 over the last ten meetings. And I’ll go so far as to say our current team looks nothing like our recent teams.

The only blowouts from my childhood were ’82, ’85 and ’88. Arguably ’87 if you count 23-10. It seems like Florida got a garbage TD in that one.

The 1968 team won 51-0 in a tropical storm. The Dawgs changed to tennis shoes at halftime and took mincing steps when cutting and speeding up while the gators slipped and slid in the UGA version of “the swamp”. Reflected lights on the field demonstrated half-acre “puddles” everywhere and a UGA Safety who now is retired in Hawaii had a great night.

If A&M takes them down, and I think that seems a reasonable possibility, there may be more red in JAX this season. FU fans are really up against it this year with their shortcomings and our being the flavor of the week. They stole one from TN, had one gifted to them from KY, got their buts bet by Michigan, and lost on homecoming to a struggling LSU. Many have given up on McElwain and his past recruiting issues and now this season is threatening the better class they have pledged to them for 2018. Only guy less popular than the HC is the OC. We may see Phat Phil and SOS called into action before this year is over. Good times!

Just as a means of explanation (no vouching for the uniforms – Nike $$ makes schools do some silly things).

Probably, but so are most college traditions.
