PrintMy, how times have changed. . . .
The following is an excerpt from the November 7, 1947, edition of The Red and Black:
If the gods willed it that the Bulldogs had to lose a game this year, we wish it could have been only to Florida. The reason is simply this. The Gators played nine games last year and failed to come up with a victory in a single one of them. Then were topped in their first four tilts this season before they pulled a 7-6 upset over Beattie Feathers’ North Carolina State Wolfpack. It was their first win in 14 starts.
The following day, in Jacksonville, Georgia beat Florida by a 34-6 margin to claim the Bulldogs’ sixth straight series victory over the Gators.

Well this year,
I want to party like it’s 1947.
So let me get this straight...
We felt sorry for Florida’s suckage so much, that if we had one loss we would only want to lose to them??
Yeah its obvious that Spurrier wasn’t even born yet.
Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win.

In their defense . . .
. . . going 0-13 did put them in the bottom one per cent of the bottom one per cent, so they came in first at being the worst!
Go 'Dawgs!
You're right
Actually, Florida couldn’t have played football before 1990, because the game didn’t exist yet. Not on a major-college level yet, anyway.
