    well fair enough that it’s one game, but if you can think of a worse one game, good luck.

    That was at FSU they were favored by 3. Had a chance to go fir 2 and the win but Bowden chose to tie. Not even in the Top Ten

    That’s certainly true but not when you’re ranked against an 0-7 team from a conference we’ve barely heard of. The fact is this is a pattern for Mike White (badly coached teams). Like another poster said, his firing is way overdue.

    My first game was at Jax in maybe 76 or 77. Wes Chandler scored and dunked over the goalpost and hurt himself. We lost a close game.

    I could be wrong but I think it was Warrick Dunn with the run. Charlie Ward was their QB.

    Very few understand BBall. That was a senior-laden team against an uninspired crew. It happens. Jury is still out on this version of Gator BBall.

    We lost 52 to nothing to Georgia in 1968. then there was the embarrassing homecoming loss to Auburn when John Reaves threw nine interceptions. An NCAA record unlikely to be broken.

    unfortunately there are many football losses worst that this. Basketball has 35 or so games a year. You can lose one or two that no on expects. Football only has 12 regular season games. Losses are much more painful…

    Ga Southern loss

    Vandy loss at home

    95 loss to Nebraska

    choke at Doak

    LSU loss last year

    LSU loss this year

    Losing to Louisville in the Sugar Bowl

    losing to Memphis State at home…

    Meta-

    you win! Uncle, uncle...I give.

    Yeah, we tried to outdo the shoe toss loss to LSU with a more humiliating act of oneupsmanship this year.:eek::confused::(

    Healing is happening. ;)

    Go Gators:)

    That was the day we learned that Rodney Brewer had a great future in baseball. But it wasn't his fault. Hall pulled Kerwin too early and waited too late to send him back in.

    Come to think of it, that might be my first time ever attending a Gators football game.

    An 0-7 Senior laden crew generally inspires fans to look forward to the next year.
