    The LSU game had turned into one of the most frustrating games on the calendar for Florida Football since 2018. For five straight years, the Gators were always within striking distance of beating the Tigers, but something always kept getting in the way of winning.
    At the center of the losing streak has been one of the most infamous moments in Florida history, but after winning on Saturday, combined with news from Monday, the curse that has been hanging over Gainesville might have been broken.

    To this day I still can't believe it. 11-2 record the year before, 8-1 and within seconds of going 9-1, Marco throws the shoe and the program has been a dumpster fire ever since. Definitely a curse.

    The fact that he says he would do it all over again tells me he isn't real bright.

    Shouldn’t be too much of a problem since there’s only 1 shoe of the pair left

    No, but that seemed to bring us luck, and we need all the good luck we can get. Besides that, what are you going to do with one shoe? ;)

    The irony of his statement is that by taking ownership of the act he doesn't take responsibility for the act :ninja2:

    I thought we were cursed because one of our coaches drove off from the gas station with the pump handle still connected to the car right before Urbs left.

    Fortunately, your wife was not hurt and she still has one good one to wear when going to church. I believe you bought her one of those skateboards things that people with hurt legs use instead of crutches. Gets a lot of sympathy and you can get get preferred parking.
    Good show.

    Do you realize how silly that sounds? It was definitely because someone threw a shoe. ;)
