2005? Oh yeah, the year we had the pleasure of witnessing Josh and Mama Portis.
What was your favorite football season?

Me too. My grandfather (UF ‘31) lived to see it 65 years later.
I do appreciated when Spurrier emphasized the NC for the old Gators at the celebration.

Whenever I hear Republica’s “Ready to Go”, I immediately go back to that DW tribute video they played in the Swamp that day.

You think us running options half the time, and running slow (4 seconds to.pass bc we fake an option first) screen passes the rest of the time is adapting to a pocket passer?
ok
Broken record... that is not the whole picture of how Trask was used. But his downfield accuracy was relatively poor. Trasks strengths were short and intermediate routes. These are set up nicely by play action (fake option).

You know, you can just throw a screen pass or medium pass without faking an option first, right?

SOS's reaction is great, but so is Schottenheimer and Fat Dawg's.
For a second, I thought Noah was actually turning into the Hulk.

2006. It should be 1996, but that season followed a failed trip to the national championship, which made winning it, esp over FSU in a rematch, oddly anticlimactic for me.
We shocked the college football world in 2006. It’s hard to top that.

Ahh yes, 1911. Great season indeed. Though I imagine the message boards after that 6-6 tie with South Carolina were a sight to behold. Shambles would be putting it lightly.

Ox says I have to post 10X this month. So, here is number 6. Mine would have to be 1995 as this is the year my ex-brother-n-law got me to watch the Gators. I was more of a NFL gut at the time and could care less about college. He got me to sit down to watch a few games and I loved the rivalry between the teams and how he absolutely lost his sh*t during the games. From that point on, I was hooked and now I may at even par with him getting a bit rowdy. Have been told to calm down more than a dozen times in public places...and I am a nearly old Fuk. And no, he is not an EX because of the rowdiness, it is due to my sister being a nutjob!

As great at 06 was, and it was flat out awesome. From the heartbreak of Auburn to the Cockblock, culminating in the destruction of Ohio State, it still doesn't hold a candle to 96.
I was at the Nebraska game in Tempe. At the time, we were still chasing our first title and I was convinced we were going to finally reach the mountain top that night. Turned out to be the second most devastating game I ever experienced as a gator. It was brutal.
Then came 96. We were once again on our way to a title. Then came the the FSU game. The most devastating game I've ever experienced. All was lost yet again and we were going to have to rebuild in 97.
Then Texas beat Nebraska on a 4th down pass to the TE to get us a rematch and then Ohio State beat Jake the Snake to make the rematch the defacto title game.
Somehow, we got a second chance.
I'll never forget Terry Jackson breaking through early in the 4th to go up 45-20. That was the moment I realized we had finally won it all. The fact that we did it by crushing FSU's dreams at the same time will never be matched.
52-20 will live forever.
