It’s Florida week, Bulldog Nation. That means it’s time to delve into the origins of my Gator hate. Like many of you reading this, I could easily write twenty thousand words on why hating the University of Florida is my birthright.
I could write paragraph upon paragraph on growing up during the reign of Spurrier. I loathed him with a passion, and the 1997 victory over the twenty point favorite Gators was the first moment of pure unrestrained joy that I experienced as a UGA fan.
Until I was eleven years old I just hated Florida for beating Georgia.
