Happy Fourth of July, Gator Nation. Again, we re-run one of the most American pictures of a Gator ever: Dominique Easley, as intense as can be, with the Stars and Stripes in hand before Florida's game against UAB on September 10, 2011, one day before the 10th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks.
It's a brilliant picture. Easley was one of the Gators brandishing a flag because of his father, David, who served in the Iraq War (along with his older brother, David Jr.), but no one could ever match his intensity, and the result is about as fiercely American as can be.
