Does this Florida fan really believe 9/11 knocked the Gators out of a title appearance?
from Phantom Island
The short answer: no, Ryan Nanni does not, despite goading from cohost Steven Godfrey, believe the 2001 Gators were derailed by Osama Bin Laden. But this episode is a look back at how the sports world reacted after the 9/11 attacks, the strange chain of events that led to Florida - and then Tennessee - blowing a chance to play for a national championship, the team Steve Spurrier said he wanted to stop scheduling, and the now-abandoned customs of Heisman voters. Phantom Island is presented by Homefield and produced by Michael Surber.
