This article includes a game-by-game list of the Florida Gators' ten football seasons from 1950 to 1959. During the 1950s, the Gators were coached by G. Robert "Bob" Woodruff (1950–1959), who compiled an overall record of 53–42–6 (.555) during the decade.
Florida (officially Florida Este) is a mostly residential barrio of the Vicente López Partido in the northern suburbs of Greater Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is principally a middle-class neighbourhood and is located between the barrios of Olivos and Vicente López, also in the same partido (department).
Location
The city is located between The Autopista Pascual Palazzo (mostly known as "Panamericana" or "Acceso Norte") highway and the Maipú Avenue. The Acceso Norte splits the district into two neighborhoods: Florida Este (from Panamericana to Maipú Avenue) and Florida Oeste (from Panamericana to De los Constituyentes Avenue).
Florida is served by the Mitre Line, which provides easy access to the city of Buenos Aires. Due to the railway lines, Este and Oeste neighborhoods are also called "Florida Mitre" or "Florida Belgrano". Its main commercial area is centered on General San Martín avenue.
History
Florida was founded in 1891 when the Buenos Aires and Rosario Railway opened a station in the section from Belgrano that then reached Bartolomé Mitre, Borges and San Isidro. Some versions state that the station (and subsequently the village) was named "Florida" to commemorate a victory over Spanish army in the Paraje La Florida of Alto Perú on May 25, 1814, during the War of Independence.
The station is located below the Avinguda Catalunya, between the Carrer Ceravalls and Carrer Mimoses. It has two entrances, from the Placa Blocs Florida and the Avinguda Masnou, which serve an underground ticket hall. The two 98-metre (322ft) long side platforms are at a lower level.
I found this video in my parents' home movies. They were young alums of the University of Miami and made the trip to Gainesville for this game on December 1, 1956. The 6th ranked Canes defeated 18th ranked Florida, 20-7.
It is more a glimpse of the stadium and game day pageantry of that era, than of the game itself. But note the famous long touchdown run at 2:20, joined in progress. It is a 72 yard run by Canes great fullback Don Bosseler, who played both ways and also recovered a fumble and intercepted a pass in this game.
The horse honored via card stunts at halftime is Needles, the 1956 Kentucky Derby winner and Florida bred in Ocala.

The 1960 Florida Gators - September 17, 1960. Ray Graves First Game as Head Coach
Welcome to the College Football History Channel. In this series, I will be going through one team every week and discussing an event that took place in their history on that specific date
This season I have selected my favorite team, the Florida Gators.
For this date, I have selected the 1960 Florida Gators and their first game under new head coach, Ray Graves. This is an important time period where they needed a much needed transition out of what fans would later call the ‘Golden Era’ of Florida football. The team hadn't been too great since WWII and with all of the money getting poured into the program, they were desperate to become one of the elite SEC teams.
In this video we will go back to the 60’s where you will hear about some of the great college football coaches in history li...

1956 Sugar Bowl - Georgia Tech vs. Pittsburgh
The 1956 Sugar Bowl was a historic game as it featured the first African-American player in the contest’s history - Pittsbugh star Bobby Grier. Unfortunately, a questionable call involving Grier turned out to be the most important play of the afternoon.
From the Pitt 32, where Tech had recovered a fumble, quarterback Wade Mitchell lofted a soft pitch to right end Don Ellis near the goal. The ball sailed over both the heads of Ellis and defender Grier. Interference on Grier was called.
The film was inconclusive, but indicated Grier may have been out of position, stumbled, and fell a few yards in front of Ellis. A roar of protest erupted from the stands as the ball was placed on the 1-yard line. After Pitt was penalized a half-yard for off-sides, Mitchell followed the surge of his line ...

The 1956 Sugar Bowl was a historic game as it featured the first African-American player in the contest’s history - Pittsbugh star Bobby Grier. Unfortunately, a questionable call involving Grier turned out to be the most important play of the afternoon.

The film was inconclusive, but indicated Grier may have been out of position, stumbled, and fell a few yards in front of Ellis. A roar of protest erupted from the stands as the ball was placed on the 1-yard line. After Pitt was penalized a half-yard for off-sides, Mitchell followed the surge of his line and made into the end zone by inches. He then added the extra point.
The Panthers took complete control in the second quarter, allowing the Yellow Jackets just five plays, but they were unable to crack the scoring column. A 79-yard drive put Pitt at the Tech 1 with time running out in the first half and Franklin Brooks and Allen Ecker stopped a quarterback sneak on fourth-and-goal.
Pittsburgh had two more opportunities to score in the third quarter, driving to the Tech 16, with a 26-yard crowd-pleasing run by Grier that almost went all the way, but an interception ended the threat; and to the 7, where a fumble killed the drive.
In the fourth period, quarterback Darrell Lewis bearly broke free on a sweep but a last-second tackle sent him pin-wheeling out-of-bounds at the 10. Due to a malfunctioning clock, the time was being kept on the field and Lewis asked an official how much time remained and he said he was told two minutes and 39 seconds. Ralph Jelic gained five yards on a power play. As Pitt lined up again, the officials began waving their arms, signaling the game’s end.
Time has a way of affecting memory, particularly in a game like this where Pitt had all the stats and Georgia Tech had the scoreboard. Both Hunter and Lewis felt the loss was racially motivated, pointing to a “crew of Southern officials.” It may or may not have been competent, but it was not a crew of Southern officials. It was a split crew, and one agreed to beforehand by Pittsburgh.
