This wasn't posted here. It was posted on the "Inside Gator Nation" web site. <http://www.gatornet.us> Randy Lyons Says: <http://insidethegatornation.com/when-did-you-become-a-florida-gator/#commen t-646> December 21st, 2008 at 11:15 am I became a Gator in 1962 at 12 years old. At the time, I had a Tampa Times afternoon paper route, and they were running a new subscriber contest for the paper boys. The winner received a trip to Gainesville with a chaperon for a football game. I won and my branch manager accompanied me on the trip. The exact second I stepped out of the shadows and into the stadium, I was so overcome with the moment, the crowd, and the experience, I became a lifelong Gator. I am now the administrator of the oldest (since 1989) and largest (over 750 members) online Gator club in existence - GatorNet.

Please post it for us another time. I forgot and would like to read it again. Jerry P.S. I think it might be neat to have a section on gatornet.us where we archive some of the classic old posts. Some may have to have the names hid to protect the guilty.

It is a nice little story about winning a contest for paper delivery boys to go to a football game in Florida Field, and that moment of first entering into the light of the stadium was when he became a Florida Gator. as the subject. -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us To unsubscribe from this group, send email to gatortalk+unsubscribegooglegroups.com or reply to this email with the words "REMOVE ME" as the subject.
