You younguns have no idea just how bad Florida was for 80 years. They had a year here or there where they's be 8-4 but they were horrible every season. The great migration to Florida in the 80's helped out tremendously for the 90's and beyond. I think the population increased like 300% or over that. Spurrier was set up perfectly for success. 1979 they went 0-10-1 which included a 10 point loss to Tulsa and a 31-3 shellacking by the Kentucky Wildcats. They did tie GT 7-7 I believe but this notion that Florida has always been a power is far from the truth. I havent looked but I imagine they have a losing record to quite a few SEC schools if not most of them.

Your account isn't any more true. Maybe we weren't a championship caliber program before the 80's, but we weren't horrible either. Top 15 all time win percentage, just outside top 20 in wins when all the schools ahead of us had a 10 or 15 year headstart.

You pulled out 1979, that was one of only 5 years since 1960 we had a losing season, not sure any other SEC program can make such a claim.
