Sometimes I feel like the Harry Potter curse against the "Defense against the Dark Arts teacher" transferred to our wide receiver coach. Maybe Billy Gonzales stopped by the bayou to put a hex on us on the way to Baton Rouge?
My first game at Florida Field was sometime in October '77. We had a lot of away games to start the year, then my sport had some conflicts so I don't know if it was Pittsburg or Tennesssee. But I vaguely remember a tie game, so probably Pittsburg. Like the past few years, utterly forgettable...

I've been a longtime lurker/rare poster on the former site. Similarly, I've lurked on this site since about day 2. (Found by a hint in GC and then looked for "Ox" "podcast"). I signed up today as I finally had something to say. I must have been member number 298? I've always loved watching...

Florida Field/BHG Stadium/The Swamp depending on the era
The Gatorbowl/Everbank Field depending on the era, but still haven't been there when Florida won
The Sombrero and Raymond James for Miami and too many games against Iowa
The Citrus Bowl (run Fred run)
Orange Bowl regular season a couple...
