[QUOTE="Deleted member 631370, post: 1475055"] I can see that. I was a bit young at the time, but when they de-planed ahead of the 1986 national championship game (against my Lions) wearing camouflage, that image stuck with me as the U's image -- the bad boys who were more talented than everybody, and they wanted you to know it. And then, Vinny threw 5 picks. They weren't so "bad" that night. :) I liked UF under Spurrier for some of the same reasons. I loved his fun 'n gun style and his folksy arrogance. Can't say I care for UF these days -- far too many criminals on the roster for my liking. It'll be interesting to see if Manny Diaz can get them back on track. I really thought Richt had something going after the 2017 season. A shame. He seemed like a good guy, but while he was an alum, he didn't really have that U swagger. Maybe Diaz will? [/QUOTE]
