"Never forget..... Why I Hate the curs......" |
|
It's a little early for this but I hate the curs so much I had to post it now.
My first Florida / cur Game:
I can still see the Stadium, the old Gator Bowl, that rusting erector set by the St. Johns River. I can still smell the yellow Mum corsage with the orange and blue ribbons that my mother wore pinned to the lapel of a wool two piece suit. I remember my new sport coat and the orange painted metal Florida button Dad bought me to wear and show my pride in being a Florida Gator. The year was somewhere around 1950 or '51.... I was about eight or nine years old and it was my first Florida Georgia Game....I was one excited little Gator !
I don't remember much about the finer points of the game but I recall like it was yesterday the hot dogs, the vendors selling cokes, everyone pouring bourbon , most right from the bottle, into their drinks. I lover the cheering and the bands too....quite a BIG Deal for a nine year old.
The worst ending, or so I thought, was the Gators losing to the dogs....my parents were quite upset. I was doing my best to get over the loss and enjoy the atmosphere a bit longer....I wanted to talk dad into buying me a Gator Pendant on the way out of the stadium.
We were walking out through the dirt parking lot to our car when I saw a lady, wearing red and black with a Georgia Mum, lying in a mud puddle..... two other dog drunks were trying to get her to her feet. I must have been staring ( probably with my mouth open ) as I had never in my young life beheld a sight quite like that. My gaping stare must have really teed the dog lady off because right in front of God, my mother and everybody else around she snarled, " F*ck you you Gawd Damned little Gator Sh*t !"
I remember my dad telling me on the way home that georgia fans were to be pitied and not to worry about what a classless person like that said....they didn't know any better !
I must have still been in shock because that is all I remember about the rest of the day....it's always like that on those " wait 'till next year" days !
I know I still, to this day, carry deep seated psychological scars because even in my golden years I hate those GawnDamned cur bastards with every fiber of my being !
I would live through many more losing seasons, including the Bob Woodruff years, far to many more heart breaking losses to the scum sucking curs but none left an impression like that first game.
The reason I will love Steve Spurrier till the day I die is because he not only beat the crap out of those sub human pieces of dog crud he rubbed their noses in it till it hurt....and then he would rub some more.
I remember my dad, UF 1933, telling me not long before he passed away that he regretted he would not live to see his beloved Gators ever win the SEC.
He never did. He died in 1972.
God has blessed me by letting me live through the Spurrier era....six SEC titles ( seven to me ) a National Championship and 11-1 versus the cur vermin....Heaven can't be much better than that. I will really enjoy telling Daddy what it was like.
Those of you who think old Gators like me don't have anything invested in Florida Football just haven't lived long enough to know what the old days were really like.
To all the curs who might be reading this, Happy Anniversary ! It's been ten years since we handed you your asses 52 to 17 between those sacred shrubs....and BTW Kiss my old Orange and Blue Arse !
