For Gator fans it was a 30-14 postcard perfect afternoon.) The last game I attended as a student, and the perfect segue to add my "two-bits"...I can remember standing the whole game with my best friend on those makeshift aluminum bleachers that they build in the south endzone what, three, four days before the game? I'll never forget the mixed feelings of drunk, giddy euphoria as I watched Doug and the boys slowly crush the dawgs, intermingled with abject fear whenever a strong headwind would (literally) cause the entire infrastructure to sway in a manner that was not easy to ignore. I also was called the "N" word that day because of my penchant for wearing orange and blue, just to give you an idea of the massive class and intelligence of some UGA fans. Great writing GP...keep it up, and Go Gators! (1999: For Georgia fans it was a windy, cold and rainy day in Jacksonville. For Gator fans it was a 30-14 postcard perfect afternoon.)

BTW, you forgot to mention that the 1993 game was in a heavy rain storm. I had been to a game in the rain like that in '68 (my first one). A game we lost so badly (by 45+ points even though we were heavily favored) that I had never returned for another. So, it's 1993, I have finally gotten back to Jax for the game. I'm sitting in a car, in the Alltel parking lot, rain pouring down, sipping bloodys with three buddies. We're listing to the pre-game show and the color guy says "whoooeee, I hadn't seen it rain like this since 1968!" Thank goodness we had Eric Rhett and Doug Johnson that day. I also remember Danny Wuerrfel being yanked by Spurrier in that game and saying "coach it's too wet, I can't hold the football" to which TOBC said "that's funny the Zeier boy doesn't seem to be having any problems!"
