Florida was 17 years ago?! Thanks a lot, Mike. ;)

The game reminded me a bit of 2001 Colorado as well, though the stakes were
much lower this time. I'll never forget how shocking that was, rolling in
at 11-0 and getting dismantled offensively by a seemingly average Buffaloes
team. And then being even more shocked seeing the name "Nebraska" flash
onto the screen during the BCS Selection Show (was that the first one
ever?). Those were interesting times.
