I know for many the loss still stings. The prospects of what could have been are trumping the reality of what was. With expectations beyond belief and the chance to do something no Gator team had ever done before it seems a disappointment to fall short so close. But, this Senior Class still walks away with something no other class has ever done. From the rings to the records to the awards this Senior class will be the one responsible for returning the Gators to the top of the SEC Mountain.
Records:
2009 12-1 Bowl Game yet to play Winner of SECE
2008 13-1 SEC Champ, National Champ
2007 9-4 Tebow wins Heisman
2006 13-1 SEC Champ, National Champ
Overall: 47-7 with 1 left to play.
We won 22 straight games and our regular season win streak of 20 is still alive.
We only lost 2 home games, reclaiming the Swamp as the Home field advantage it wasn’t during the Zook era.
We have owned our rivals. These seniors have not lost to Tennessee or FSU. And they have also beat Georgia 3 out of 4.
And we won 2 National Championships. It took this group four years to out do 99 years of Florida Football.
The defenses have been nasty, the offenses have alternated between explosive and conservative, the special teams have been exciting and the results have shown success across the board.
In three weeks when we step on the field to play the Bearcats try not to focus on where we could have been in early January. Instead, celebrate how good this out going group has been and remember you are watching one of the best we will ever see.
Go Seniors
Go Strong
Go Gators

"...and remember you are watching one of the best we will ever see."
This team was one of the greatest in colege football history and we witnessed it each Saturday.
Go be the best you can be.
Go Gators.
The Gators could have some really high draft picks with Spikes and Haden. I also think Tebow will impress in the combine and be a first rounder too. Gator Nation 4 Life
