    Danutria, I could not respond with a picture in private message to tell you who I was. You said you are the guy who wore #78? Here is a picture of you with 78 jersey and tie on then I believe.. The 97 schedule poster. I am the guy under the "R"..

    My personal highlight...I've lived here in Chicago for almost 5 years, and I flew back down for one of the Florida games ('01, maybe? We lost 41-10 or so...). Anyway, CBS was covering the game and Jabar Gaffney scored the last TD of the game in the North EZ.

    I was sitting about 4 rows up, dead center, with my mom and dad and girlfriend (now wife). Jabar catches the TD and is running through the endzone - the crowd is quiet.

    In a moment of rage, I stand up (everyone else is sitting) and scream, "Hey Jabar!" He turns, our eyes meet, and I give him both fingers and scream, "F*** YOU!" He just starts laughing (I do too). My Mom later tells me that she's incredibly proud.

    The very next day, I flew to Orlando for a conference and my boss and I are just shooting the **** and he starts dying laughing...he points to the TV and there I am on the "Inside Gators Football" program with my hands blurred out, flipping off Gaffney...they used it as the segue into the "this is how Tiger fans felt" part of the game recap.

    It was a fine moment to share with my folks and wife. I only wish I had gotten a chance to maybe pee on him or hit him with a rock or something.

    I think your brother threw a whiskey bottle at him, but missed

    Tygertail, We were always on bus 3 with George. The adults always stuck us kids in the back with him. When we hit highschool age, little did they know we were partying as much as them.
