Had a buddy and his wife who lived in the Arlington area of Jax, and I was screwing around with a friend of his wife who lived down in S Florida somewhere but she was in town to visit. Partied at several places before the game, beat the pups, and then went out for more partying afterward. My buddy and his wife went home and stupidly left us with the car keys. I was too drunk to drive but the girl said she was ok. She was not! Man, she overshot a turn downtown and crashed into a telephone pole. Thankfully we were able to push the car away from the pole and into a parking spot on the street. Then I called a cab from a liquor store on the corner, got a ride to my hotel, and let her take advantage of me. The next day was totally awesome between the hangover and the cat fight that ensued between the girls after she told my buddy's wife about the crash. I wonder what ever happened to her..... All I remember is that she had unusually thick ankles for a girl who was in otherwise pretty nice shape. :lol:

The rain game in Jax.

However, this is my favorite play against The dawgs, ever!

It happened right in front of me.

Go to 6:40 and watch one of the greatest defensive plays ever.

Listen to how long and loud the ovation is.

Actually- they ended up in my frat’s yard. I helped put up the crossbar.
We were the ATO douchebags... I guess.


@Windy City Gator

I only knew two ATO..you and BA...and you both are great guys, now and while at UF and didn't act like douches. Pikes....now those were douches.

Thanks for the confirmation about the goal posts. A special time to be at UF. That 84 season was so special because of how it started and then to beat Auburn 24-3 and biitch slap Bo to the point he removed himself from the game and the next week shut out the puppies 27-0. And to win our first SEC Championship. For you younger Gators, that 84 season was a lot of fun of ups and downs. More ups than downs.

1986 - Kerwin Bell was hurt early that year and we dropped some games we should not have, starting 1-4. He limped back into action vs Auburn and scored that epic two point conversion. After that game we went down 19-3 at the half to UGA. The guys were just barely hanging on but in the second half they wrenched the mojo back and avenged the 1985 upset loss and ensuing riots with a resounding 31-19 win. Glorious.

This. Freshman year, still 17, loaded up with a group of 5th-year seniors for my first WLOCP experience.
The ENTIRE first half, some douche nozzle incessantly barking in the row immediately behind me. I was pissed.
So rewarding, and surprising to my buds, when I turned around in the fourth quarter and barked right in his face. Woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof mvthrfckr.
He got up & left with his dirty hoar girlfriend.
Glorious, indeed.

To this day I still cannot believe he stayed in bounds like that... incredible athleticism.
I was watching the tail end of that game at the Innisbrook 19th hole with a bunch of coworkers from Tech Data - including several dwag graduates.
It was glorious.

OK, I've read almost all of these, and I don't think ANYONE here can go as "old school" as I can (I mean, look at my avatar!). My first WLOCP - 1973, my freshman year. With about 2 mins left, we drive downfield down 10-3. Gators are facing 4th and goal on what amounts to 4th and 18, at the 18 yd line. Gaffney hits WR "Little" Lee McGriff for the TD. Then he hits TE Hank Foldberg Jr for the winning 2 pt conversion to win 11-10. One of my TEP pledge brothers, Ed Levin from Birmingham, picks me up and throws me two rows down. There were still about 2 mins or less left - we had to hold them, and we did.

In other appearances AT the WLOCP - well, I'll forget my other three years at UF, but 1977, right after I graduated, I was a 2LT in the Army at Ft Stewart. I call my younger sis, who is a soph, two nights before, asking her what gate to meet her and her then boyfriend (now husband for 38 yrs) at. She says she cannot go, she has a computer program that won't work and she can't figure it out. I was a computer science major (in 4th grad class at UF with that degree). I said, you're going, and bring it, we'll work on it at halftime. She did, it was a simple fix she didn't catch. And we won. That was the game Wes Chandler, who should be in Ring of Honor, threw, caught, and ran for a TD.

2000 - was there with then 16 yo son. UGA fan near me was cursing up a storm b/c we cheered when Jabar Gaffney caught TD - telling us he was a f'n thief. Bulldog family in front of me - I told him, c'mon, there are kids here. He was drunk and wouldn't quit. I called security, he was escorted out. Bulldog fans near me thanked me.

2010 - wife is UGA alum, never went, even when her brother Louis was a starting DT for Erk and Vince in late 70s. So we went and were treated to OT. What a thrill!

My sympathies.

Younger son went there, too. Earned double majors there. When he got accepted, considering we DO live in GA, and he had the HOPE Scholarship (he kept it all four years, an extremely hard thing to do - I know, I'm a professor at Georgia Southern Univ), when he was accepted, I felt like I had won the lottery. Never paid tuition all four years at UGA.

Most of my favorite WLOCP memories have nothing to do with the game, and involve behavior I'm ashamed to recount in polite company, so I'll skip those. But perhaps my all-time favorite memory occurred after a game we actually lost in 1985.

The prior year, we had beaten Georgia, thereby ending a six game losing streak. After that victory, our fans went ape with glee, stormed the field and tore down the goal posts. The lack of police presence on the field allowed our fans to tear up the field and celebrate undeterred. But by the time the 1985 game rolled around, the city got wise and lined the stadium with police in riot gear and drawn nightsticks. When Georgia won, the fans in the end zone pushed down the fence to crash the field. The UGA fans in the front rows, who were well aware of the heavily-armed police presence in front of them, became reluctant participants in the aborted celebration, receiving a brutal clubbing at the hands of enthused law enforcement personnel. The police were swinging wildly at anything that moved, cracking skulls, etc.

My friends, there are times during even the most bitter college rivalries when opposing fans put aside their differences in moments of crisis and feel sympathy and compassion toward one another. This was definitely *NOT* one of those times. It was beautiful to watch the Georgia fans' joy and exuberance over their win turn into screams of horror, pain and agony as the police unleashed their brutal assault. It was almost worth losing to watch it all unfold before us.

By the way, this is a great lesson to all Gators to stay until the end of the game, even if we are losing. You never know when some opposing fan will get his ass kicked for being a loudmouth or challenging law enforcement. When it happens, you want to be there to see it.

In 2006, during my wilder single days, we did the Cocktail Party pretty hard. No idea how or why most of it happened, but at one point we were having beers and hanging with Channing Crowder(who we’d just randomly met), and doing shots at some bar at the Landing. Somehow this party within a party developed and for the first time ever in my life I had a cop confiscate my AmEx, accusing me of inciting trouble because of our tab. They mailed it to me the following week. In the end, between that and the tailgating, before and after our win, I awoke on Sunday morning missing one shoe and with a badly cracked tail light on my new 5-series.

Now, the prevailing opinion was that I’d entered the day wearing two shoes and without a cracked tail light. However, no definitive proof of that position was ever produced.
