As an old time Gator...I remember almost every single game with AU since 1963 when Jimmy Sidle was qb for AU and we lost 19-0...but in 1964 we took an interception back 88yds for TD by Dick Kirk (who ran 40 yds against Bama the year before to upset them 10-6 in Tuscaloosa) and won 14-0 as memory serves me...no, Im not looking at a media guide either. In 1965 we lost 28-17 when a backup qb Alex Bowden (sp?) came off the bench and threw a 60+ yd TD pass to make it 17-14 late in the fourth qt...Spurrier & co. tried a gadget play that backfired and it resulted in another TD but it was a much closer game than results show...and who could forget 1966 when Spurrier kicked a 40yd FG to win 30-28 or something like that. We lost Tucker Fredrickson who went to AU because UF didnt have a vet school then. Ahh the memories...we used to beat AU quite often at home and vice versa. The 2007 game was a big disapointment...AU came in 2-2 after almost losing to Kan State and losing to USF & Moo State, when Brandon Cox looked awful. Tubby did a great job firing the team up and we should have had more fire in us after losing to AU in 2006, but we thought we only had to show up in the Swamp.

Spurrier loved the series and almost all Gators wish we still played...I remember when AU had three nicknames, Tigers, War Eagles and Plainsmen.
We might yet see the series return?

Hope so. Too bad that the conference thinks it is more important these days for us to play teams like Arkansas and Texas A&M.

Even though I am an Auburn graduate, our daughter goes to the University of Georgia (thanks Hope Scholarship!) and is in the Redcoat band.

She has a band mate amongst the 400 other members who at half time stole a Florida kickers shoe. Put it in the bell of a tuba he was playing. Still has the kickers shoe in his dorm room apparently.
