I was at the game with The Pass. They had a veteran offensive line that year and so much talent in the skill positions. TD Tommy Durrance. Mike Ritch. Carlos and John. And the coaching staff left and it went to sh#t.

So much history. He broke the total passing yardage record in his last game agains scUM. The famous Fla Flop. He broke Jim Plunket's record.

Met him a few times and played High School ball with his son. In my experience he was a pretty cool guy and a great gator. RIP.

Slightly before my time, but dad told me stories. Huge loss for Gator Nation.

Prayers for the Reaves family!

Guess I never have to worry about him hitting on me in a bar again.

:sadnanner:
My cousin was in school at UF then and said he was a &#^$^@( I read the article and it said has drinking hard then and most of his family were alcoholics. He had many demons. Didnt SOS give him a coaching job. I had his autograph on a big gator sign after an SEC title (maybe the first one)
