Were any of you at the 1983 Gator Bowl game in Jax vs Iowa? It was one of the coldest nights I ever sat in. I remember someone telling me a raincoat does help with wind resistance so I wore one under my coat along with a snow cap, and a pair of thermals. The Iowa fans laughed at us all night. Luckily we didn't have to walk far after the game.

I was there. 14-10 over Iowa, Chuck Long was their QB I think. Went to every game as kid, my Dad always got rickets from vendors. The wildest thing I ever saw at one of those games was the Ohio st/Clemson game when Woody Hayes punched rhe Clemson LB at end of the game. Clemson won 17-15 and Arr Schlister so? was the buckeye qb who had a major gambling problem. That wasn’t his only int in that game. (wink wink) When Woody assaulted him I asked my Dad why he did that (I was 10) and his response was “I don’t really know son” as he was at a loss for words. I’ve seen some crazy sports moments in person and that one is right at the top.

1983 was arguably one of the coldest weather's I've felt in Jax. In May of 1984, I walk outside of the house on my way to school and it felt like it about 40 something degrees. I immediately went back inside to grab a jacket.

The Woody Hayes incident happened a year after my dad received orders to serve 3 years on the USS Nimitz in Norfolk. Up there at the time, there was almost no interest in college football among fans as they were far more focused on the NFL. Back then, all I ever ran into were Steeler and Cowboy fans.

I didn't even hear about the Woody Hayes incident till we moved back to Jax in December of 1980. While in Norfolk, I always read the newspapers just to get Florida Gator scores.
