of the misery of the Spurrier years. I grew up in the 70's and watched Coach Dooley go 12-3 in his last 15 games against Florida. Never in my wildest dreams did I anticipate what was to come in 1990. That Florida would go 13-1 in the next 14 and 18-3 in the next 21 games. I was in the rain in Jacksonville when Zeier and Mitchell went nuts in the rain but were derailed by a bogus timeout call. I was in Gainesville in 94 when Zeier threw an interception just before halftime, and their LB proceeded to break 10 tackles on his way to score. I was in Sanford for the "Half a Hundred" game the following year and will never forget that feeling leaving the stadium, that we may never beat them again. Anyone in my age bracket (55) can attest to the Gators being our most hated rival. We are 6-1 on our last 7, but until we go on a 18-2 clip, I will still not be satisfied. GO DAWGS! FTJSWNTAMF's!!!
