Orange and Blue Cheer
Before a football game starts, this announcer runs down to the field and says something like,
“Okay, give me the big orange!” And the west side of the stadium (where students sit) yells
“Orange! Orange! Orange orange orange!” So of course the east side comes back with “Blue! Blue!
Blue blue blue!” And then it's “Orange!” “Blue!” back and forth for awhile. It's pretty
cool—because it's so loud, it sounds more like a tornado coming in than actual words.
Remembering the Fog Bowl
It has been a while since the University of Florida has played in the Gator Bowl. It was 1992, but it's
understandable if your memory of the Gators' 27-10 victory over N.C. State is a little hazy. Not too many people saw the game. There were
71,223 people in the stadium and the game was televised nationally on TBS, but they didn't see much after the middle of the second quarter. Heavy fog rolled into the stadium and quickly made watching the game from the stands or on television impossible.
"It looked like snow," said Larry Kennedy, a former UF safety who played in the game. "You really couldn't see." It wasn't too
bad on the field, though. The players standing on the sideline couldn't see the opposing sideline, but they were able to see into the
middle of the field. The players on the field could see the coaches signaling in calls and adjustments, and they were able to see well
enough to still throw the ball..
