Good, Bad and Ugly: Florida football’s last decade of bowl games

Here’s Pat Dooley’s Good, Bad and Ugly from the past decade of the Gators’ bowl games.

Bowls have not always been good to Florida as anyone can see by a 24-22 record all-time. But there was a time when the Gators were really bad when it came to postseason play.

That was before the Gators won 10 of 14 bowl games to get that record over .500.

Heading into the Gasparilla Bowl, it’s interesting to look back on the last decade, because even though the Gators are on their fourth coach of the decade (seven if you count interims) and even though Florida fell short of a bowl game twice in the decade, UF went 5-3 in the post-Urban Meyer world in bowl games (sorry, we had to bring his name up).

There have been some great moments and some not-so-great. So, we present the good, the bad and the ugly of Florida’s last decade of bowl games.
