Didn't even realize they were playing this Sat until today.

I was living in FL during the 90's and this game was HUGE every season. Kind of miss that.

If I'm not mistaken, the winner of this game made it to the SECCG every year from '92-'02 except for '97 when UF won but UTenn won the SEC.

Here's to the restoration of one of the SEC's great rivalries.

I remember the UF UT game being my favorite game of the year to watch.

Mm... I remember losing a lot and people being really frustrated.

So, really, pretty much like it's been the last decade.

It was always such a big weekend early in the season. It has definitely lost a lot of luster, but I still try to make it up to Knoxville every few years. One of my favorite trips.

Once Alabama started dipping near the end of Stallings' tenure, it was THE game in the conference.

95: #4 UF, #8 UT
96: #4 UF, #2 UT
97: #3 UF, #4 UT
98: #2 UF, #6 UT
99: #4 UF, #2 UT
00: #6 UF, #11 UT
01: #2 UF, #5 UT

Since Spurrier left, it just hasn't been the same.

The '01 year was special since it was moved to the end of the season because of 9-11.

But your right, since spurrier left it just has not been the same.

The 2006 game was the last great one.

It was a big game through most of the 90s for sure.
