The start of the kyle trask era. I know he's recent history but he still might be my favorite qb of all time. Don't think we'll ever see another story like this.

I was there. We’re undefeated when I watch us in KY

Jill and I on Florida Field, 20 yard line, about 3:00 a.m. the night before graduation ceremony 1984.

Janikowski was actually up in Jax recently at a pool hall my buddy manages and I asked said buddy if he playfully called him out on doing the Gator chomp in that game a little too early….sadly he did not

Janikowski was at Rack em Up?!?

52-20 for the NC is my top pick and I loved the other NCs, too.

1997, 32-29, Dougie to Jacquez also ranks up there for me. I know we didn’t win any titles that year and had an underwhelming season by 1990s standards, but raining on the Noles’ parade in such dramatic fashion erased a lot of the disappointment of that year.

One of the years I’m tremendously thankful that the playoff had not yet been initiated. In 3.5 hours we destroyed one of Bowden’s best seasons and teams. So awesome.

The DJ Shockley pick 6 (Gus Scott?) giving the dogs a loss and knocking them out of any championship talk.

Scott gem at 6:45. Rex led a TD drive early in the 4th that won it.

Ron Franklin was a great announcer BTW that got railroaded.

I’m always so torn in this one. Is it Greene’s livid whining at the 14:40 mark, or Rex’s incredible swag at 14:46 that’s my favorite. Help me decide.

And yeah, that Gus Scott play has to be one of the most impactful plays in UF history.

One of my favorites that hasn’t been mentioned is from the 1998 FL-Dwags game, 2nd play, when Brandon Spikes lets Knowshawn Moreno know there would be no repeat of the previous year’s game where UGA had their full team celebration “penalty”. Moreno still has the full-body imprint of Spikes all over him. Everyone knew this game was Florida’s win less than 1 minute into the game.

ETA: it was the 2008 game. I knew it had an 8 in it. I was at both games.

It was 2008.

1998 was our revenge for letting Robert Edwards run all over us and ruin our 1997 SEC run.

Favorite games attended: 1993 in Birmingham, 1994 @ UT, 1995 @ Auburn.

But all time was the 1994 SEC Game in Atlanta. That '94 SEC game turned out to be the last game I attended with my father as he passed away in an accident on the farm on the Monday after the 1995 UF v UT rain game.
