UF Alum Writing from an upcoming SEC Network Program

[fishermb]

Hey fellow Gators!

First time poster here - I'm a 2006 CLAS graduate that works as an archival producer on sports documentary programs. I'm currently working with a director on an upcoming SEC Network program that I can loosely describe as concerning the UF Women's soccer team during the 1990s. We're looking for any super fans out there who might have photos or home movie footage that they are open to sharing with our project. Please shoot me a message on here or give me a shout via email fishermb @ gmail dot com

Thanks so much, and Go Gators!

I was a ball-boy for them during those successful years back then and I did their soccer camp every year so I will try to see if I can dig up any pictures, but I doubt I'll have the time with my current busy life. I went to their soccer camp and only have one good story but it would be totally inappropriate for the documentary. I'll tell it here anyway as it's one of my most embarrassing moments to look back on:

I lost some sort of silly tag game that one of the players was having us do (don't remember which player, but it wasn't a starter) so I had to do 10 pushups or something. Had like 10 kids gathered around me in a circle for them and the player was standing over me joking around saying, "who's your daddy!" I was around 8-9 at the time and responded with what I ALWAYS heard my teenage sister say whenever somebody said that (who's your daddy was a super popular thing to say around those days for some reason). Anyway, I blurt out, "I'm YOUR daddy, Slut!" I had no idea what a slut was, but my sister always said it so it must be funny right? Oops. I had to run stadiums for like 20 minutes. Lucked out that nobody told my parents.

Sorry that I probably won't be much help for the article though. Cheers!

A documentary on women’s soccer? I’m sure dozens of viewers will enjoy it!

I believe you are overestimating their popularity.

I'm pretty sure the same could be said about Karls tenure as football coach....

That’s better than anything he’s gonna get here. Unless he just starts fabricating tales, or buys a bunch of Peterman stories, he’s probably gonna have to run with this. You’re gonna be famous.

I was going to throw out a because of "ball boy for soccer," but it was the girls team, so he gets a mild

Asking about soccer from some of these guys?

At least he wasn't asking about women's basketball, right?
