My first ever Gator game was the 1989 season opener against Ole Miss. It was a brutal, hideous loss, but at least I got to see Emmitt play.
Number 2 would be the 2002 LSU game. We lost 36-7. It was like at that point that we realized Spurrier being gone (and Zook being on the sideline) was going to be really, really bad.
Discuss.
Then in 94, when Auburn was on probation so the game wasn't on TV, I watched the game inside the Swamp (they had a big video board set up) and we lost that one too. That was brutal.
I was there (in the swamp with the jumbotron) for that . I washed the loss out of memory, however.
That was awful. All I can remember was SOS could have won it but crazy sh#t kept happening.........Then in 94, when Auburn was on probation so the game wasn't on TV, I watched the game inside the Swamp (they had a big video board set up) and we lost that one too. That was brutal.
I was there........the worst thing was Nat Moore being run down from behind,............wet asss game it wasI don't have time to read the entire thread tonight, but UF 3 LSU 3 in 1972 in a driving rainstorm with record or near record number of fumbles by the two teams involved was pretty pathetic.

I think you have reversed them. UF lost up their in 93 when AU was on probation and there was no tv. I was at that game too. A really cheap late hit was called to set up AU's game winning FG. Rhett ran for 196 yards that day and Wuerffel passed for something like 384 yards, but UF's D wore down late in the game. The 1994 game was on televised.
1992 SEC Championship game.
In hostile territory.
Tied game late.
Everyone trying to remember what they heard about the overtime rule as there had never been one and then Antonio "F'in" Langham with the pick six....
I was there; my senior year. My new bride wouldn't go with me and I walked from the stadium to Corry Village on a dark and stormy night. Soaked and miserable for a tie.I don't have time to read the entire thread tonight, but UF 3 LSU 3 in 1972 in a driving rainstorm with record or near record number of fumbles by the two teams involved was pretty pathetic.
Sitting in the stands in a driving rainstorm as a kid would not have been so bad if anything had been happening. Sadly the fumbles many of them fumbles snaps caused little to happen during the game as the score reflect. I have nothing against a tough hard fought defensive game with both defenses playing well, but again those fumbled snaps were a good part of the bad offense rather than getting to watch great defense.
I will throw another log on the fire. Steve Spurrier's first loss as head coach of the Gators. I was there. Neyland Stadium Knoxville. Defensive struggle with the score Tennessee 7 Florida 3 at the half. Dale Carter returned the second half kick-off 91 yards to put Tennessee up 14 to 3. The race was on with the final score 43 to 3. Yep, it was press bad. Needless to say, Spurrier learned something from that game.
I'm getting old...the years are running together!! :D (I literally attended my 30th HS reunion last weekend....oooof!)
