State of shock? Times changing as Hurricanes, Seminoles and Gators make dubious history

It is not unprecedented, no. It has happened before. Although I think we can all agree that whatever occurred before Florida State Seminoles fans had ever heard of Bobby Bowden officially qualifies as ancient history. Like, instead of Uber, you took a Brontosaurus to the game.

Mark Richt at the time was an 11-year-old kid goofin’ around Boulder, Colorado, just before his family moved to South Florida.

It was around this time in 1971 — 47 college football seasons ago.

That was the last time the state’s erstwhile Big 3 programs — Miami Hurricanes, Florida Gators and FSU -- were where they are today, all simultaneously with at least two losses in a row.
