97 Florida vs FSU

[gatorshime]

Watched it for the first time in awhile and it's still one of the best games I've ever attended. My voice was shot for a week. We need the Swamp to be dominate like that again.

Still to this day that call on the two yard line bothers me. I was screaming at the tv for BB to go for it.

Then the camera points to BB asking Mickey if he can stop them and he says kick it.

Huge difference from UF play calling wise from the 2 than the 20 yard line.

I was also confused on how Tennesse got a chance at undefeated Nebraska in the OB. Fsu loses at UF by 3 points in the final 2 minutes & Tenn gets boat raced by UF at UF & we play OSU in the Sugar Bowl.

Probably my most watched old game. I usually start at the point where Jackasskowski does the chomp.

 

[Dr. Nole]

That was a great game for UF.
I was there.

 

[Nolez29]

I would also like to point out that FSU beat Osu soundly in a game they wanted no part of.

I always point this out to Alabama people.

My Grandmothers funeral was the next day.

Pretty shitty weekend.

Tennessee played Nebraska in Orange Bowl because they were SEC Champs that year. Yes, we beat them soundly but that was their only regular season loss. They were 11-1 going into Orange Bowl.

They benefited from a weak SEC that year.

If you are going to lose, lose early. Everybody knows that.
