Sit back and relax, Gator fans. The football season draws closer with each passing day. After the debacle that was the 2013 season, we are all ready to move on and get the next season of Florida football underway.
Today marks 90 days until Florida will kick off against Idaho.
Last year, Gator country counted down each day from 99 days out, with a story of the player who wore a corresponding jersey number. This year we’ll break that up, counting down every ten days that we get closer to football season; not just focusing on a current player on the roster, but past players, music, movies, TV shows, famous alumni from the decade and other pop culture that corresponds to the decade.
With 90 days to go we’ll take a look at what was going on in the 90’s.
