Yep, that game was always cold. The late November FSU games can be damn cold, too, especially in Tally.

During those times we played Kentucky in late November and that was the coldest football game I can remember.

The first time was in the Gator Bowl after the 1984 win over the dawgs - the goalposts came down that time. The next was in the win over the semis in Tally in 1986. They turned on the sprinklers to try and get the fans off of the field, but since much of the game was played in a downpour, that had little effect. I think Spurrier made the remark about "maybe they should have let the fans on the field to celebrate" after the 1997 32-29 win over then ranked #1 FSU. Helen Huntley wrote: When have Gator fans rushed the field? That's an interesting question. I remember Spurrier lamenting once that fans couldn't rush the field. If I remember correctly, he even made a symbolic push against a goal post. Wasn't there once an incident--not involving a home football game--when fans went into the empty stadium and took down the goal posts? Or am I just dreaming? -- 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 -- 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 -- 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
