Colleges: Florida-Georgia

Hey, you're not on the team

By KEITH NIEBUHR
Published October 25, 2005

The Florida-Georgia series has been marked by great comebacks, historic collapses, strange plays and exciting finishes. Oh yes, and bizarre occurances.

One of them happened in 1933.

During that game, which Georgia won 14-0 in Jacksonville, a Florida student, one not on the team, lined up next to Gators end Chuck Rogers for the second half kickoff, Athlon Sports reported. Legend has it that when Rogers asked, "What the hell are you doing down here?" the student replied, "I've come down to help you stop those damn Bulldogs."

Police promptly removed the man from the field.
