Lane Fenner was in! Welcome to FSU/UF Hate Week!

[alaskanseminole]

Fenner became an FSU legend on Oct. 8, 1966 when he caught a 45-yard pass from quarterback Gary Pajcic in the front right corner of the north end zone at Campbell Stadium with 17 seconds left and Florida leading 22-19. Official Doug Moseley ruled Fenner out of bounds, extinguishing FSU's last chance for an upset.

I'll enjoy a little UF hate before we get are collective arses handed to us in Doak on Saturday.

Fenner could have been a hero if he'd only been able to make that catch.

It's funny, in a pathetic kind of way, that FSU listed the score in their record book as if he'd made the catch and FSU won.

Incorrect. Catch made.

Correct (if true)

Tough break for Fenner and the nolies. Man he was so close to making that catch.

A tough break. Yep looking at the stills he looks to be in bounds. Looking at the video I think that trailing ref may have got his view blocked by the Gator DBs going down at the same time and since Fenner slid over the out of bounds line it made him think the catch wasn't in bounds.

Poor guy has probably had nightmares about his failure. And I'm sure the Noles have reminded him about it.

Actually, the exact opposite. Lane has intentionally avoided the spot light (including interviews) for most of his life. He granted ONE interview over 20 years ago under the agreement they wouldn't disclose where he lived. He moved on from football after one year in the NFL and never looked back.
