    Marco Rubio's son scores Gators TD as Walk-on. Congrats Anthony Rubio.

    I didn’t know he was the Senators son until the very end. I kind of hate that I know who is dad is now. It was HIS moment. And it was great for HIM.
    And yes.. Bug Dez played a HUGE role!

    He reminded me of William "the Refrigerator" Perry when Perry played for Bears back in 1984.

    I was hoping he would get a chance to “run” it in with a goaline dive.

    theoretically the wrong board but since people are responding as long as it stays non-political I am leaving it

    Good story for sure. What a great ending to a bit of a pedestrian game. We just needed a marriage proposal to a cheerleader to top off this Hallmark ending.

    If Trump was watching the game and saw that TD, he probably quietly thought to himself "ha...good for little Marco."

    yeah, I thought it was poor taste for the announcers to keep talking about his dad. Mention it and then return focus to the kid. To be fair, I have a hard time listening to Andre Ware on any broadcast.

    Me too. The announcers were clearly the b team ( better than the FSU game announcers who seemed to be pulled out of a bar in tally.

    Seemed like a Gator commercial to me. They called the game as if we are winning the SEC next year.
