Favorite Canes Gators memory/moment

1987. My first hurricanes game. Opening game of the season. Miami is totally boat racing the pathetic losers from Gainesville. Fourth quarter Sebastian the ibis hangs up a blowup alligator doll from the open end of the Orange bowl and zone goal posts during a break in front of the student section. A police dog on a leash guarding the end zone loses his mind and attacks the gator. I know somewhere out there it’s in somebody’s clips but I haven’t been able to find it so you’re a hero if you have it.

Night game, right? My seats were in section D by the west end zone; that play was basically in front of me. For some reason it doesn’t stand out like the Hester TD.

Thank you for the trip down memory lane.

I like to start trips to NOLA in the quarter during the day, get it out of the way, then make my way to the uptown bars, etc.

Absolutely....We would hit the restaurants all the time. Those yrs my home was ín Ft Walton Bch, which was an easy trip to NOLA. My favorites were Ralph & Cuckoo's and brunch at Court of two Sisters. (both permanantly closed)

1. 2003 comeback. What an emotional rollercoaster.

2. 2000 Sugar Bowl. Butch Davis livid after Sebastion the mascot cost us a 15yd penalty on our last TD.

Followed a bomb PAT by Todd Seivers. I think there were two 15-yard penalties called on the post-TD.
 
For old heads, how about Ottis Anderson’s late TD run to win the game at UF inn 1978? The Canes needed at TD to win. FG was no use. Ottis ran to his left, ran over 4-5 Turds and Canes win 22-21.




Miami running back Ottis Anderson closed out his senior season with a school record 39 carries (a record he still shares) during a 22-21 victory in Gainesville in the 1978 regular season finale. Anderson rallied Miami from a 21-3 halftime deficit with a 3-yard touchdown catch and the game-winning 8-yard scoring run. In 1978, Anderson would finish with 1,266 rushing yards and eight scores, becoming the first Hurricane to eclipse the 1,000-yard rushing mark in a season. He would also leave Coral Gables as the school’s all-time leading rusher with 3,331 career yards until he was surpassed by Duke Johnson in 2014.

The crossing route when Brock Berlin hit Kevin Beard at the end of the 3rd quarter in 2003.

Pretty sure they were playing "It Takes Two" after he was down at the goal line and that set the crowd on fire.

Just knew we were gonna come back and win.

1980. After OL coach Chris Vagotis got hit in the head with an orange, Howard kicked a fg with Canes up 28-7, making it 31-7. Afterward, he said he did it because he wanted the media to come ask him why he kicked the fg instead of kneeling.

Couldn't get up to hogtown for the game, watched on local TV, first 2 UFag drives, we looked like ****.
Cheap shot
on Mark Rush Lit a fire, we beat the dog out of them.
On the FG, with time running out, the announcers ran us down, then the network switched away,, never saw the FG,..

1981: When Danny Miller hit that 55 yarder, there were 40 seconds remaining. Florida got the ball back and attempted a 59 yard FG for the win but it was short.

I was at that one, hot as **** in the OB, didn't the Gator fg attempt hit the crossbar?..
 
For me it wasn’t even a game against the Turds. Sometime in the early 90’s were beating down some nondescript team in the Orange Bowl. Midway through the 3rd quarter some swole up obnoxious drunk ****’s fan makes his way up to the upper deck WEZ.

As soon as he pops up out of the tunnel everyone starts booing him while he tries taunting everyone. Until an angel Wezzie from up above comes running down about 5 or 6 rows, dives over the railing and knocks him the **** out then starts pummeling him until the cops arrest him leaving to a hero’s reception.

It’s between this and the 2003 Berlin comeback. That was the most agonizing 3 quarters I had ever experienced live followed by the greatest joy ever.

Alot louder than the Hester KO.....absolutely deafening for a minute....but the 89 UM vs ND game was the loudest ive ever heard the OB for an entre game. For a solid 3-4hrs it was total insanity.

I know it's not quite the same, but this is one of my personal favorites.

Tallahassee cops try to arrest Sebastian for ALMOST using a fire extinguisher on the burning spear.
