No need to stay in school, Chris. You could make a fortune in the mortgage securities market NOW because the people currently running the show flummoxed by percents, ciphering and that damned Excel thing.

21,
You forgot that in 1928, Florida’s “Phantom Four” backfield. They led the nation in scoring that year. They racked up 336 points and allowed just 44 during the 9 game season.

Then, in 1939, Florida traveled to Fenway Park and majorly upset Boston College 7-0. Live alligators were all the rage at the game.

…and Gatorade was in fact developed for the Florida football team in the mid-60’s, despite what those Seminole Fluid drinkers say

#19 – if it is an honest question, then:
There was some fairly significant success under Ray Graves in the 60’s (when Spurrier won the Heisman) and the team was in the mix for conference championships, even if though never probably favored. Then we got Doug Dickeyed in the 70’s for some prolonged mediocrity (see: Oklahoma in the years immediately prior to Stoops). Charlie Pell turned things around and by the mid-80’s we were relevant on the national level and won the conference, only to be later stripped and slammed with probabation, setting us back until Spurrier’s arrival (his first year was a probation year for violations prior to his arrival). Haven’t looked back since…

did florida even have a football team before spurrier got there?

honest question.

Chris Rainey is the greatest quote that nobody really pays attention to anymore- from the “It’s good to be Chris Rainey” to “white girls” to “93% of the pain”, we’re talking solid material here.

and okiedomer, if I was a victim of Stoopsie’s penchant for not showing up in the big game AND ND’s utter lack of balls, I’d probably want to disparage the last 10 years as well. Although 1996-97 are a little outside of that range, I’m not sure if you want to remember those back-to-back 8-loss seasons either.

It seems Chris Rainey and Jim Edmonds have more in common then I’d ever imagined.

@14

Then by that math I guess Steve Spurrier’s tenure wasn’t relevant? Maybe scroll up to the EDSBS banner for starters and “git some learnin”

Sparrow,

1. it’s early – be patient

2. we’ve never played each other before, and don’t quite know yet what to think of each other – i, for one, have really only been exposed to two florida fans: OS and a 6′7” Marine i went to law school with who i’m sure already has plans to kill me

3. we’re still trying to figure out how to make fun of a program that’s only been relevant for about 10 years and may not be relevant again after Tebow graduates

So is that like the athletic version of the “bro”? A sports bro?

On a side note, I love how OU and Florida fans are bending over backward to compliment each other. Deference and respect aren’t things that come naturally to either fan base (and I’m not trying to make a class/classless argument, so don’t go there). The resulting “aw shucks, they’re so good” just feels awkward.

Okies & Gators, stick to what you do best: hate.

Can we rastify him about, say, 10 percent?

This reminds me of the original NES hockey game where the players were either fat, skinny, or medium. What would the field look like with 11 tebows on each side of the ball.

Gen Disarray – while they’re at it, I think Aaron Hernandez should be cloned as well – with a little touch of Murphy. I’m sure Urbz has already thought of that.
