    In my head--- UF
    We went to SECCG that year. Also cold … forgot about the fog.

    Unpopular opinion- The gator bowl is equal parts reward and punishment

    That UF/Iowa game was the coldest Gator game I’ve ever been to matched only by our 1980 Peach Bowl against WV. Both games - I’ve never been colder in my life.

    Guys the Gator Bowl in 83 was played after a historic cold front came through. Like killing Citrus groves cold.
    It was my first year as a Gator and remember the game well.

    The odds of a similar game this year are quite low.

    Was hoping to play Nebraska, but have a suspicion now that we get Michigan. Just a guess. Not my favorite matchup, but it's nice that they are going to a bowl game.

    Be nice to play someone different. We’ve played them enough.

    I wanted Ga Tech initially but they would be equally brutal.

    Back then I sat at the top of the stadium, brought paper bags to put my feet in for warmth and some jack Daniel’s for my Coke. Stayed warm. Great W for the Gators.

    I like this better than having to play Michigan again.

    I want to win this game to close out with 8 wins.

    My first choice is if we could somehow snag Colorado. G.T. would be a dog fight, but would probably be a fun game as well.

    Yep, 8 wins as a springboard into next season. Recruit, work the portal and compete for some hardware.

    The only buzz kill playing UNC is they are HC-less. Not sure we gain anything and could lose a lot. But I definitely prefer a Tampa game.
