The Florida Gators will add a mural commemorating the life and fandom of George Edmonson — the Florida fan who immortalized himself as “Mr. Two Bits” by inventing a cheer that became a Gators tradition and died in July at the age of 97 — inside Gate 1 of Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, the program announced Monday.
In addition, the program will turn duties of the “Honorary Two Bits” cheer over to the Edmonson family for Florida’s home opener against Tennessee-Martin in September, and is selling t-shirts in Edmonson’s unforgettable style along with tickets to that game for the next week.
