TheBigBuc Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 I have a couple of suggestions for the "Where I come from signature" for Florida Gator football.. 1). "Where I come from.... We don't back down" Reference to the Tom Petty song played over the PA System at The Swamp before the 4th quarter 2) "Where I come from.... We keep our promises" Reference to Tim Tebow's famous promise 3). "Where I come from...we are the boys of Old Florida" Reference to the tradition of the same name, where the fans lock arms and sway while singing the song of the same name at the end of the 3rd Quarter 4). "Where I come from....we stand up and holler!" Reference to Mr. Two Bits As for Gator basketball reference the Rowdy Reptiles (the student section at the O'Dome) Also, create a Florida Panthers alternate referencing our rat throwing tradition ("Rats rain down" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
