Okay, so I’ve been digging into the 2009 Florida football schedule lately. It’s a bit of a throwback, but I find it super interesting to see how things were back then. Here’s what I’ve been up to and some stuff I found out.
Getting Started
First off, I started by just trying to find the schedule. You know, just Googling stuff like “Florida Gators football schedule 2009”. It wasn’t too hard to find a bunch of sites that listed it all out, but honestly, they were all kind of a mess and full of ads. Hard to read and get a grasp on.
Organizing the Info
So, after gathering the dates and opponents from a few different places, I decided to make my own little spreadsheet. I figured it would be easier to see everything laid out in a simple way. I put in the dates, the opponents, whether it was a home or away game, and the final scores. Just trying to keep things neat and tidy, you know?
Diving Deeper
Once I had the basic schedule down, I started looking into each game a bit more. I was curious about how the season went, game by game. I watched some old highlights on video sites, which was pretty fun. Brought back some memories, even though I wasn’t a huge Florida fan back then, but I watched them a lot.
Some Highlights (or Lowlights)
- Charleston Southern: The season opener. Florida totally crushed them, like 62-3. No surprise there, really.
- Troy: Another easy win at home, 56-6. Starting to feel like a pattern here.
- Tennessee: This one was a bit closer, but Florida still won 23-13. An away game, so that’s always a bit tougher.
- Kentucky: Boom, back to blowouts. Florida won 41-7 at home.
- LSU: Okay, this was a big one. A tough away game, but Florida pulled it off, 13-3. This was probably one of the most important games that season.
- Arkansas: Another home win, 23-20. Not a blowout, but still a solid win.
- Mississippi State: Kept the winning streak going with a 29-19 win away.
- Georgia: Played them in Jacksonville as usual, and Florida won 41-17. Another big win.
- Vanderbilt: Easy home win, 27-3. Seemed like a breeze.
- South Carolina: Tough away game, but Florida won 24-14. Kept that undefeated record going.
- Florida International: Last regular season game, a total blowout at home, 62-3.
- Alabama: SEC Championship game. This is where things went south. Alabama beat them 32-13. Tough loss.
- Cincinnati: Sugar Bowl. Florida bounced back big time, winning 51-24. Ended the season on a high note, at least.
Wrapping Up
So yeah, that was my little adventure into the 2009 Florida football schedule. It was a pretty good season overall, except for that Alabama game. It’s always fun to look back at this kind of stuff and see how things played out. It’s not rocket science, but I enjoy it. Hope you found it interesting too!
