And since we missed 51 and 50 we will honor them as well.
No. 49: JERMAINE CUNNINGHAM, DE (2006-09)
No. 49: JERMAINE CUNNINGHAM, DE (2006-09)
Also considered: Jeff Chandler, PK (1998-2001); Fernando Jackson, LB (1979-82)
Other notable: Hank Rone, P (1989)
The skinny: Jackson was an All-SEC inside linebacker and Chandler was an exceptional kicker, but Cunningham is the pick. A second-round draft choice, Cunningham made 38 career starts and recorded 152 tackles, 34 tackles for loss and 19.5 sacks. He was a 2009 AP second-team All-SEC selection. He left Gainesville with two national titles.

No. 50: BRAD CULPEPPER, DT (1988-91)
No. 50: BRAD CULPEPPER, DT (1988-91)
Also considered: Phil Bromley, C (1982-84); Ricky Browne, LB (1971-73)
Other notable: Yancey Sutton, DE (1977-1980)
The skinny: In a perfect world, it would have been nice to give Sutton, among the most inspirational Gators of all time (he was deaf) the nod. But in reality, it came down to Bromley and Culpepper. Bromley arguably is the best center the Gators have ever had. But Culpepper, who also was student body president, was a dominant tackle and 1991 AP first-team All-American.

NO. 51: BRANDON SPIKES, LB (2006-09)
NO. 51: BRANDON SPIKES, LB (2006-09)
Also considered: Bill Carr, C (1964-66); Ryan Kalich, OL (1995-99); David Little, LB (1978-1980); Robbie Moore, OL (1973-76)
Other notable: Anthony Ingrassia, OL (1992-94)
The skinny: This has been a great number for the Gators. Ultimately, it became a choice between Little and Spikes. Little was All-SEC three times and an AP first-team All-American in 1980. But Spikes was a two-time AP All-American and member of two national championship teams. He made 39 starts and collected 307 total tackles, 31.5 for loss.
Sorry real I couldn't find any photos of Ryan Kalich.

I think All SEC Tim Paulk wore 49 but Im not positive. I waited for you to post the countdown...but wont wait too long ago...Im an early riser but will wait til afternoon.
The good news is that we are inching closer and closer to pigskins in the air for real.
BTW David Little was a much better LB than Spikes and had long career in the pros....Bill Carr was blocking for Spurrier & Co.
Don't forget bigD that #43 cant be anyone other than the FB from Lakeland Graham McKeel RIP.
