Gators-Noles Tops (part 3)
Top 5 Most Painful Memories:
1. 2003 - The Swindle in the Swamp. Florida is cheated out of a victory by Jack Childress and his ACC crew. This is a pretty fitting description of what happened and the Gator Nation's lingering bitterness: http://www.orangeandbluehue.com/2007/11/19/fsu-hate-week-remember-the-swindle/ (you may have to cut and paste...links are fickle).
2. 1993 - Charlie Ward to Warrick Dunn. Swamp crowd goes from bedlam to silence in an instant. I watched this game immobilized, 5 days after tearing my ACL.
3. 2001 - Even though the Gators pummelled the Noles, scumbag Darnell Dockett's intentional injury of Earnest Graham resonated in the following game, a loss to Tennessee and the loss of the SEC East crown.
4. 2002 - Not so much for the game itself, which was bad, but because I watched the majority of it in the emergency room with my extremely ill 8-month-old son.
5. 1996 - I felt real, physical pain watching Danny Wuerffel get drilled late, time after time, by the cheatin' Noles. Missed field goals hurt, too. So did INTs. Thankfully, the pain was eased a month later with the crushing in the Sugar Bowl.
