" Greatest Gators " who couldn't be here for one of the most amazing runs of gridiron success in all recorded history.  My Dad never got to see his beloved Gators win even one SEC title.  Yet I am sure he and all the other dearly departed Gators in Orange & Blue Heaven were all gathered around whatever device they watch up there and were cheering their asses off for their Gators.  They were all part of building what today is " Gator Nation !"

BTW one of my dear friends and a lifelong Gator is dying of Leukemia and has only days or hours to live but the Lord let him hang on to see his Gators win one more National Title.  God is truly smiling on this Great Gator.  I know there is a  special group of Gators in heaven waiting to welcome him home and continue the celebration the minute he arrives. God bless them all  !
