    Should we bring something like this back? Would you even care if we did or didn't? Should we bring in a live alligator?

    LOL, I remember this. What a dud but it was kinda amusing depending on how much bourbon was in your Gator cup :D

    No. I think they’re just a tad too short. Also don’t care for the little inverted “V” cut up each leg. Big fan of tucking shirts into shorts though.

    If this is the time I think it was, it was a gift from a BAD movie.

    What I’d like to see is the team wearing the uniforms from 25 or 50 years ago for homecoming

    It’s Ramon! I remember the movie and when Ramon was on the sideline for a season or 2. He did not last very long. I wonder where he got stored after?

    Yep. And it had glowing red eyes. I kind of liked it. Was kind of cheesy that they had to pull it around one a cart with a rope.

    It would be really cool if our engineering school could create a real robotic gator to walk around the sidelines.

    Yes, it was a mechanical alligator from a movie where the Gator came up from the sewer to terrorize a city?

    Dolphin shorts looked great on coeds back then. Not so much on the guys, though.
