I kinda like how they did the brackets by Generation, but it is HIGHLY controversial in my opinion, flat out BS in a lot of spots! Some phenomenal memories in here (I'm lookin' at you Farrah's on the Avenue and Ashley's Pub). Have at it!!!

Clearly they have no concept of how seeding is supposed to work. A #1 & a #2 meeting in the second round?

Oh, and Mrs G says Joe’s Deli was woefully under seeded and the refs screwed them in their Sweet Sixteen contest.

I did think that Superior Towing upsetting the Rowdy Reptile was pretty funny... In the early '90's at Gatorwood, on game weekends at night, Superior Towing would roam the parking lot looking for cars to tow and people would throw eggs at the truck from the balcony. :lol:

I'm looking for an online PDF (non-folded) version of that, but can't see anything identifiable on the image. Any idea who published it or where to find online?

Yeah, there isn't one. It was the center spread of the Spring 2023 UF Alumni Association Gator magazine that they send out quarterly. It's not available online yet (maybe it is if you log in)...

Those wings were great!
Best ever... a group of 10-15 of us camped out there EVERY Wednesday night from around Spring '91 through Spring '93... $4.95 for a PITCHER of beer (a real pitcher, not a midget one) and TEN wings.

:fistbump: you, @AlexDaGator and I have agreed on this many, many, times. For whatever reason, they changed how they did them at some point in the late 90's (or later?) and last time we went back when it was still open, they were were very different and just average. :sadnanner:

Tracked it to their FB account, a post on March 5 saying it'll be posted by Mar 12. But, I'm losing the trail after that due to shtty internet on my end right now. I'll keep looking.

Wilbert's bowing out in the first round is a travesty. My buddy and I used to go in there before church on Sunday every week.

Balls was a crappy hole in the wall but great for drinks after 2am. They’d turn off the lights and keep serving until 3.

Ox clearly knows Gainesville.
I thought the same thing, Wilberts was an institution on campus forever it seemed.

I think the list is solid overall and I was happy to see Ashley’s included and that it made it to the sweet sixteen.
