    I would watch Spurrier win the Heisman vs Auburn in 66.

    I was there for the Auburn 66 game - and would pick it again. But a close second would be to be in Athens again - so great a feeling!

    27-0 vs. Georgia. We helped the frat boys carry the goal post out of the stadium. The cops just smiled.

    Mine would be the 1963 win in Tuscaloosa. It was the first really, really big Gator victory I can remember. Would have loved to win the next year too...

    Nebraska for the 1995 championship.

    I love suffering; hence, I’m a Gator

    1997 Sugar Bowl against halfassu. Almost went but chickened out. Big regret. Close second would be any beatdown of the mutts. I'm 0 for 9 attending that damn game.

    Not one but 1984-1991, 1996-2001 seasons. Missed the vast majority, if not all, of those due to being underwater. Was underway on USS Tennessee in 1998 when UF finally lost to them. They woke me up just to tell me.

    The first game of the greatest era of Florida football. What a glorious day that was, even more so thinking back on it now.

    October 12, 1991. UTKnoxville at UF. Gator Country. Evening. 35-18 UF. BHG ROCKING. Keys rattling. SEC SEC SEC SEC!!!!!!!

    NO ONE gave us a shot. "UF can't handle Chris Mims and Chuck Smith." We got after them for 60 minutes.

    THAT was the night we arrived, and we planned on staying, and we stayed.

    1960-Gators 18 Georgia Tech 17. Ray Graves first year as head coach and I will always believe this game set the table for future success. Graves went for two, Libertore to McBeth to seal the upset.
