If you could go back in time to watch 1 Gator game?

For me of course the fsu sugar bowl and 97 fsu game but one really cool game I got to go to as a teen with my dad (who is a uga fan) was the 94 uf uga game in the swamp. Put a beat down on them under unique circumstances. Hambrick and batesy’s defensive td’s made that game a non stop party in the swamp. Man what a fun time

From Florida Field’

Florida Gators 21, .Clemson Tigers 17.
Just a memory so strong.
My freshman year as a Gator. And proud Member of the Gator Band. My band number was “22” meaning I was in the 2nd rank, 2nd one over. Played a Baritone TC. On that game day I remember about 11:30 A.M. I had finished polishing my white shoes, which is what we wore with our University of Florida band uniforms! So I left my dorm room which was room ‘214 in the brand new Trusler Hall to walk to the stadium’ and on the street just on the south side of the stadium was a car with young guys emptying the trunk of the car that had a sign on it. “Clemson Tiger Cheerleaders’!. So I knew they had driven a long way. Back in those days on the south side of Florida Field was just some bleachers seats (no you young guys, there was no BHG back then.) And on the south side of those bleacher seats back then was a track field that guys could run around in whenever they wanted to. On that field before the game the Gator Band was three in formation. Our band director which I think his name was Richard W. Bowles,. would walk up and down the band ranks making sure our uniforms were in good order. Well I messed up and got 5 demerits. Band director noticed I had too many green grass stains on my white shoes! Learned my lesson! Future games at Florida Field I didn’t take a short cut across the field on the north side of Trusler Hall but the sidewalks from the Graham, Trusler Simpson complex up to.Florida Field. Well. I had one more screw up in the Gator Band in my first game at Florida Field but probably no interest in that but that score in my first game at Florida Field was the University of Florida 21 and the Clemson Tigers 17.

And by the way, Gators Lead the Series with the Clemson Tiges.
9-3-1.

First Away game in the Series.

Florida vs. USC in the Wilber Marshall game

 

We lost his first 3 years 74-76. Must've been one of those. 74 and 75 were heartbreakers. 76 we led at half by 14 and lost by 14. That one made me cry.
