That was a great game!Bama remembers him well. He was almost as fun to watch as SOS's offense.
Rich Tuten I believe was his name. Emmitt told a story about his freshman year where he bench pressed until he sat up and said "I think I'm going to throwup" Tuten grabbed him in a headlock and stuck his finger down his throat and when he finished he said "you feel better now" I'm not sure you could do that with today's players.Got to meet him the summer of ‘87 on Florida Field during a Florida Football Camp. He was running 100 yard sprints pulling a sled with an offensive lineman sitting on it.
The strength coach at the time (Woten?) called him over. The coach told us we should expect great things from this kid. This was the summer before his freshman season. Little did we know...

Certainly great on the field, but has had almost nothing but disdain for UF since he left. He hated Spurrier and it went downhill from there.I’m at a conference this week and Emmitt was a speaker yesterday. Such a great guy filled with stories and great messages for all. I got to shake hands with him, he has a genuine smile for everyone he meets.
Considering some of the headlines lately, nice to have a reminder of some of the class acts that represent gator nation.
Do you have a few examples of his hate of Spurrier.Certainly great on the field, but has had almost nothing but disdain for UF since he left. He hated Spurrier and it went downhill from there.

That was someone dressed up to look like Emmitt.He also returned in ‘91 and ran around the field with the UF flag after we beat the hated Noles. 14-9 forever.
