Description
 
The History of the Florida Gators contains explosive action photos and dynamic text covering the history of the UF football program, but you will also be able to see and touch collectibles such as a 1915 booklet of songs and cheers, a 1950s pennant, classic game tickets and Steve Spurrier's handwritten passing fundamentals. This book also contains reproductions of valuable Gator memorabilia, including old newspaper clippings, postcards, stickers and vintage photographs. Florida fans young and old will thoroughly enjoy the University of Florida Football Vault. It has a hardcover with slipcase (12"x10", 144 pages).  The book by Norm Carlson, Foreword by Urban Meyer, Afterword by Ray Graves, is a must-have for every Gator fan.

What Is A Vault?

Imagine being given the key to a vault in a bank where you can touch everything inside. With College Vault Books, we have taken this dream one step further by delivering to you the treasures of your favorite team inside of our ultimate history books.

Every book in the College Vault series takes you back to the very beginning of a school’s football or basketball program through a narrative provided by an author with detailed knowledge of the program while accompanied by vintage photographs from extensive campus archives. But what makes this book different than any other ever produced is that we include replicas of old collectibles and memorabilia that you can touch and actually remove from the Vault. That is why each book weighs almost 5 pounds!

Instead of a key to a bank vault, think of your College Vault Book as a key to your favorite school’s history — and then watch a museum jump out of the pages at you!  Dennis Schmidt, Publisher, College Vault Books

Football Vault January 15, 2008
Reviewer: James Newman from St Charles, IL United States  
This book is a must have for any Gator fan. It is a chronological history of Florida Football with awesome photographs, both old and new, and some very cool inserts such as replica tickets and programs.  It now sits proudly on my coffee table, deservingly by itself, proclaiming to all my friends and family that here lives a GATOR.

This is s must have for all Gator Fans. I bought this as a gift for a friend, and now I am going to get one for myself. I cannot even begin to tell you everything that is in this book. It is so well organized, displayed, and truly a treasured item. I read it from front to back and learned things that I have never heard before. It is truly remarkable!

This is a simply AMAZING collection of UF history December 6, 2007
Reviewer: A Reader from Florida  
The picture here does not even begin to do this volume justice. This is a beautiful book that comes in a sturdy and attractive box. It's as much scrapbook as it is history book. Inside the book, in addition to the wonderful photographs and narrative account of the history of Gator football, there are many, many artifacts that come in little pockets on almost every page. There is a replica of the ticket to the national championship game, a copy of Steve Spurrier's handwritten resignation announcement, a copy of the actual stats sheet from the 1966 Auburn game that secured the Heisman for Spurrier, a felt pennant from the 1950s, a copy of the card that Urban Meyer had each player carry with him during the days leading up to the 2006 championship game....the list goes on and on. Each page has a new surprise. Norm Carlson, longtime SID and Gator historian, has done every Gator fan a huge favor by putting together this remarkable "vault" of Gator memorabilia.
