20 years since Steve Spurrier arrived. Seems like last year. Any way, I know, it's about time I looked at this article, but I've been really busy this week.
That 51-0 game against Georgia did two things for me. It galvanized my desire to be a Gator fan. (I don't remember when I wasn't, but this really sealed it.) And, it began my life-long hatred for red and black, silver britches, barking, loud bass guitars, dogs, dawgs (an especially detestable term) and any thing about Georgia. As Doug Neidermeyer says in "Animal House", "Decorum prevents our listing any more of their offenses."

For those who didn't start following Florida football until Spurrier was the coach, being in the top five in the preseason polls feels like a birthright. But to truly appreciate what Florida has become, you have to have lived through Lindsay Scott and Fourth-and-Dumb and 51-0 in the rain. All of those disasters were against Georgia. You know, the team you now own. -- 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
