2003.
It was a special moment for my dad and I. We went to two practices that year in the buildup, and at one of them the coaches were giving Hester a hard time. Saying he talks too much junk and hasn’t accomplished anything yet at the U. All in good fun. Hester replies once he’s going to bring the first kick of the season back to the house, and it actually got one of the assistant’s ****ed and he made Hester start running sprints.
When he housed it against the Gators my dad and I were inside the OB and went absolutely nuts. Sharing the moments of being at practice and then seeing that was all just too cool. Then the comeback. It was one of those nights you’ll never forget.
But now my dad has memory issues and hardly remembers anything. But this saturday im driving 3 hours to watch the game with him. He can’t wait.
