The Florida gator football program was finally returning to relevance and consistency under new head coach Jim McElwain. The team is 6-0 with a huge upset over Ole Miss who at the time was ranked number three the polls a major win to prove they are back. For the good play they are now ranked number eight in the country couldn't get any better right? Well a selfish decision has changed the course of the season for the gators and a player’s reputation and future has changed forever.

A group of researchers at the University of Florida, led by Dr. J. Robert Cade, had to test the drink on the freshman team because the head coach would not let him test it on the varsity squad. At first, it made the researchers themselves really sick. After a couple of tries, the Florida Gators had loved the drink. The Gators had used the drink in their 1967 Orange Bowl victory.
