I can tell you why the Gators have had an off week almost every year before the Ga/Fla game. Steve Spurrier. As soon as he had some input as to the schedule, he began manipulating it so that UF had every bye week before the UGA game. This comes from the AJC sportswriters, not from speculation by myself. It was, as it turned out, a brilliant move for him to do that. UF had every week off before this game from 1993 to 2004. Is it a coincidence that the only times we won this game since 1993 was because we had a week off prior to the game and UF didn't? The only other time we won whenever we were playing prior to the UF game was in 1997. Be that as it may, I hope we enjoyed the off week this time before the UF game, because we sure don't get it next year...as a matter of fact, neither of us have an off week before we play next season, and WE have to play LSU the week before we play UF. Next year's schedule is gonna be a real slobber-knocker. We have our open dates before the UT game, and before the Tech game. The first 2 games are GSU and Central Mich, then we have So. Carolina, Arizona St., Bama, UT, Vandy, LSU, UF, UK, AU, and GT.
