That’s mine, too. That ended a 6-game losing streak to them. Great Wall and the best Gator team to that point.
I also loved 2008.
And the 1993 Anthone Lott time-out in the rain. Hysterical.
What's your favorite Gators game vs UGA?

Had to be '84. After years of Hershel Walker and Run Lyndsy, Run. Think we stopped them on 4th down at the goal line too. Plus I had a hottie with me who rocked my world afterword.

You probably weren't even born. If you were, you were too young to appreciate football.
That was easily the most pissed I've been from a football game, or any game, period. Impossible to describe the shift in emotion from midway through the final quarter to that little dump by Belue with Gator defenders in his face and about to sack him. We thought we had it.
Until that fateful moment, it was an impossibly great day for Pell and his young, upstart team.

2008 is the best for me. The year before and the amount of fans around me as I lived in Atlanta at the time in 2007. They truly thought they were going to win it all in 08. All that build up to give them their second beat down of the year.
2001 was nice for me as for some reason all the Ugly fans in college thought they had a chance. They were legitimately upset after this game and I have no reason why other than they truly thought they could upset us somehow.
Also crushing their souls during the Zook years always gives me pleasure.

Yep. Considering we had no faith in our Punter turned Kicker at that moment.Has there ever been a more frustrating play in a Gator win than Will Hill's OT interception return that went out at the 1 yard line?

Ha-ha, you fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders, the most famous is “Never get involved in a land war in Asia,” but only slightly less well known is this: “Never go in against a Master Chief, when death is on the line!”
Seriously??? You're challenging my age? I'm sure you're much older than me, but that's YOUR problem. I was in middle school and that moment is burned into my memory. Most of my young Gator memories are riddled with ugaly disappointment, that one being the worst. Thank the good Lord he sent us Spurrier to swing the momentum our way.
The thread is about favorite Jax moments. How you can bring up that game, no matter how dramatic, is beyond me.

I still swear to this day that he touched the pylon with the ball before going out. Game should’ve been over with right thereHas there ever been a more frustrating play in a Gator win than Will Hill's OT interception return that went out at the 1 yard line?

Surprising to hear a military guy not able to acknowledge that some of the best moments in life are the toughest.Ha-ha, you fool!

I don't need reminding how difficult that game was or how it burns 40 years later. I've suffered Georgia far more than you. Perspective, my friend.
How we're different is how we define entertainment. That will forever remain the best Georgia-Florida game in my mind, not for the outcome but for the struggle and how we nearly pulled off what everyone thought was impossible. If you remember the game so well, I'm surprised you overlook that.
Did I enjoy it more than, say, Half a Hundred Between the Hedges? Of course not. I'm simply trying to translate candid thoughts.
Don't be foolish and try and challenge my Gator commitment. I'm a UF grad and have plenty to show for it after 44 years.

And the DB on the play (Vito McKeever?) was playing with a bad knee, which gave way and prevented him from making the tackle.
And it got worse. The next year we lost by the exact same score, despite Herschel who was the greatest player in college football in my lifetime (I’m 58), or since Jim Brown and until Tebow.
And it got worse. The next year I went to my first Fla-Ga game. We lost 44-0 and there was a freezing cold breeze blowing on my back the whole #%&$ time. I sat right on the goal line, very low, amazed at how high Herschel flew above the pileup on the line. I think he had 225 yards that game.
Which brings me back to the sweetness of 1984. (I was there again.)
And I loved 1994. Hambrick’s impossible pick-6 and the monstrous beat-down. Just beautiful.

People forget the Richard Appleby disaster. It was just as bad as the game of which you speak!Ha-ha, you fool!

Gadget play that took the Florida defense by surprise and cost us a win. Yet another awful ending.
We were front runners during the Dickey years. Never more evident than Fourth and Dumb.

05 was my favorite. The puppies were so arrogant before. They didn’t even consider us a threat. Its like they thought we were in the 80s or something but UF was the equivalent of Vandy. The disappointment on their face afterwards was amazing. Plus, slept on a surfboard on the beach and went sunrise surfing the next morning. Great time.
