FSU HATE WEEK: In honor of GreyGator Aka Todd S.

NEVER, EVER, FORGET THE SWINDLE!

 

Stupid clown school

 

Maybe compared to you old farts, but I'm coming up on Social Security

 

I'm too poor to retire on that paltry Gov't program.

 

No doubt about that. I'll work till I die I'm pretty sure.

 

I embrace you as a dead working man walkin................

 

I hope to make it a while longer. Mortgage is almost done and they still makin beer for fishing.

 

Believe it or not, UF fans ACTUALLY did this, back in 1982 (courtesy of the G'ville Sun):

No. 89 - FLORIDA 13, FLORIDA STATE 10 Dec. 4, 1982
Robbie Andreu/Pat Dooley
Where: Doak Campbell Stadium, Tallahassee.
What happened: Florida got a late field goal from Jim Gainey to beat 15th-ranked Florida State on the road for the first time since 1976.

The Gators drove to the FSU 1-yard line, but were stymied on two straight plays before Charley Pell chose to take a penalty and kick the winning field goal.

Who was the hero: In a season where Wayne Peace started and Bob Hewko played at quarterback, Hewko came off the bench in the second quarter and ran for a touchdown.

Although he threw little in the game, it was an emotional win for Hewko, who threw the ball in the stands after the game ended.

Why it mattered: Florida hadn't won in Tallahassee in six years, but more than that the Gators weren't supposed to be physical enough to win this one.

Gator fans were so pumped, they stormed the field after Hewko's toss and took down one of the goalposts before being subdued with tear gas.


Since then, I've never really understood fans rushing their own field and tearing down their OWN goalposts - kind of silly if you ask me. The real mark of being badass fans is rushing your opponents field and tearing down THEIR goalposts in an upset.
