They painted it a couple years ago (the same scheme), but the problem with red paint is that red (and blue) fade quicker than other colors. Black doesn't necessarily fade as quickly, but it's more noticable when it fades just a little.

I had no idea it was painted just 2 years ago. I does not look like it has been painted in years.

[Jay]

I thought it was last painted in 2004 when Borg opened? I'm going to have to go look through my pics... The yellow and blue on Ricochet seems like they have been faded forever. But that is another topic for another day.

Great pics!

[Edwardo]

Yeah, I guess 2004 was probably the last time they painted it (Wow, it doesn't seem that long ago!).

When I said 'couple', I wasn't specifically saying 2 years ago. Didn't realize it'd been 6 years, though.

[Jambo]

Thanks J!

Yes it was 2004. I can't believe it was that long ago either. I'm kinda intrested in seeing what the Burgendy & Gold will look like. It could be cool but i think the Gold might fade fast.

Garnet and gold is my favorite color combination.

And you had the nerve to try and call FSU out (Free Shoes U)? You must be too young to remember that Tank Black paid your entire 1996 Championship Team. You also realize that Florida Gators lead the NCAA in arrests in the last 5 years, right? UF has had over 26 arrests under the watchful eye of Urban Meyer.

Anything else?

Didn't FSU just have to vacate all of its wins from two seasons? Until UF starts getting wins vacated because of half its team cheating its way through college.......

And regardless, UF owns FSU's poor little soul. Even in Bobby's "great" career, he hasn't had a winning record against the O&B.

Half its team? Really? You must not know the situation. And, yes... a few athletes were guilty of helping each other on online tests. This was a school wide problem and not just a football team problem. Imagine that... kids help each other on a test when the teacher isn't around. You would never do that, right?

Are you really bring up past coaches? What was Steve Spurrier's record against Bobby? Did the ol ball coach ever win at Doak?

Obviously I was exaggerating when I said half the team, but there were definitely over 30 players suspended for that bowl game. When you take into account they have 85 scholarship players, that's approaching half the scholarships they have.

Never was a big fan of Spurrier, if he cared as much about defense as he did offense (and he played in the worst conference in football like the ACC), he probably would have been winning national championships left and right. And no matter what kind of argument you come up with, UF owns FSU. National championships, wins, head to head record, Heisman winners, tradition, attendance, stadium, atmosphere, hot women without STDs.

FSU had a nice stretch of 14 years, which I'll give them their props for that, but they were leaching off of UF being on probation in the 80s and playing in BY FAR the easiest major football conference in the country. They were given the option to join the SEC in the early 90s and Bobby refused, knowing that he would get his arse handed to him playing in a real football conference. But I don't blame him, if I had the easy way out to winning a lot of games, I'd probably take it, too. Funny thing is, with all that talent and the fast track to the national championship for practically the entire decade of the 90s, all he did was choke in the big games. And he lost to Ron Zook (with the worst UF team in 20 years) at home on the night that the field was being named after him.

This thread definately turned in a direction I didnt see it going... weird...

First, Bobby did not refuse the SEC. The Gators refused to vote us in. You can thank your own school for us not being in the SEC.

Second, 15 straight year of finishing in the Top 5. 15 straight year with 10 or more wins.

Third, easiest conference? You do realize when we won our National Championship in 1993, we played six Top 25 schools that year. We played five Top 10 schools and three Top 5 schools. No other eventual National Champion has ever done that.

Last, FSU invented Gatorade (Seminole Firewater) and it was stolen from UF.

Sucks to be UF.

EDIT: Let me also say to any of the stragglers viewing this thread... we're having a friendly discussion. This is what college football is all about. No hard feelings between us two.
