Great Gator Moments

In my memory bank, one of the most FUN and post game joys, was the 1974 win at home over Auburn. Due to a bet I had on that game (not $) and the post game adventures. 25-14 final.

 

I wish I would have gotten to see all the games some of you guys have seen. the more recent Auburn and LSU games are the best ones I've seen

 

The ‘93 game against the Noles was the loudest thing I have ever experienced at a sporting event. Holy smokes. Unfortunate end to be sure. Dunn sprinted right toward us and I thought I would really hurt someone. What a game and what an experience though. That last series was epic. It was so loud in the corner my eyes wouldn’t focus. Like a vapor or something.

Went to the rain game in Jax too. Great couple years of football in there. It was a blessing to witness the greatness that was building.

 

I think 52-20 should be mentioned at least every page

 

1990 Florida - Auburn

Florida defeated Auburn in the Swamp for the first time in three years 48-7.
Spurrier's first game against the Tigers as head coach. Straight blowout.

Also ended Auburn's hopes for a national title.

 

I was at that game with some guys from UF and we were listening to the LSU call in show on the radio afterward. They were ready to send Saban packing that night. I remember one caller screaming that they had hired the wrong guy. It was Fanny in the moment, but over time it has just come to solidify my opinion of the corndoggers!

 

2008 Natty in Miami. Two Heisman QBs battling it out. Ahmad Black's amazing INT.
2017 Heave-to-Cleave against TN. It was a happy Franksgiving.
The win over USC in our first ever meeting with them in 1982. USC was elite in those days.
Last year's Ole Miss game. Made Kiffin cry.

 

F Franks certainly wasn't a great QB, but I don't think I've ever seen another Gator QB (or many Pro's for that matter) heave a ball that far in the air. That throw reminded me of Randall Cunningham.

 

Yeah, and he kinda threw it off his back foot, too.

 

While drifting to his right…

 

Franks was a gator and a competitor though. I liked his attitude and wish he was better. Besides that throw, I remember others where he threw it to a stationary spy and hit him dead in the chest. He could spin it, he just didnt have the cpu to read the field.

 

Still kicking myself for not going to that ol miss game.

 

40 years ago

 

... and moving up out of the pocket...

 

Terry Dean played the entire game as I recall. Danny couldn't throw the wet ball well at all in warmups.
