The last thing a Florida fan wants to hear this week is that the Gators have a streak against Vanderbilt but the Commodores often play the Gators tough as nails.
That was last week’s opponent. Well, and this week’s, too.
Florida has won 29 of the last 30 games against Vandy, the lone loss coming in Will Muschamp’s penultimate season when James Franklin came to the Swamp and put a whuppin’ on the Gators.
Oh, and Florida hasn’t lost in Nashville since 1988. Of course, this time the game is in Gainesville, but you get the similarities between last week and this week.
And it probably makes you shiver.
This is not an illustrious history between the two schools with Florida winning 40 of the 52 games (two were ties). It’s homecoming, so we’re going to have a heavy lean in that direction as we bring you this week’s history lesson (no chewing of gum).
And remember, the modern era of Florida begins Nov. 3, 1962, because that was the first game I ever saw.
