My ultimate goal as a Gator fan is to be ahead of all the schools we play, in wins over the years, and then dominate them. Is that too much to ask? My brother says that all he ever wanted was respect from the other teams and the sportswriters in the nation; well, he's got that. Now the other teams hate and fear us, which is even better. It is a great time to be a Gator, especially since I remember losing to Rice, Houston, Richmond (maybe a tie) and those lesser teams in the 1950s up until the 1990s, and having the Dawgs beat us like a drum. Life is GOOD!
BTW, how close are we to evening up the score with LSU, Alabama and the others?

This was in response to a Dawg fan that said the UF - GA series runs in 19 year cycles, and the last one ended in 2008, so GA is now ready for a 19 year run of dominance. Silly pups! The problem with your dawg acquaintance is he has arbitrarily chosen 19 year ranges, if you chose 15 year ranges UF's winning percentage looks like this: 1934-1948 --- 2 -12 1949-1963 --- 11 - 4 1964-1978 --- 5 - 9 - 1 1979-1993 --- 6 - 9 1994-2008 --- 12 - 3 So over 15 year stretches, the dominance doesn't look so great. Also, over the last 75 years, Georgia is only 1 game above .500 over the Gators. This year, we even the score... P.S. Since WWII Florida is 34-30 against the evil ones.
