 “Old School Legends Series” Highlights the 1990 “No More Wait ‘Til Next Year” Florida Gators
Dinner event and radio program hosted by Christner’s Prime Steak & Lobster will feature Gator All-Americans Shane Matthews, Kirk Kirkpatrick and Brad Culpepper
 
The “Talkin’ Old School with Roger Franklin Williams” radio program will host its “Old School Legends Series” on Monday, March 23 from 5-9 p.m. at Christner’s Prime Steak & Lobster located at 729 Lee Road in Orlando, Fla.
 
The dinner event and radio program will highlight the 1990 Florida Gators – Steve Spurrier’s first year as Florida Gator head coach, and the team that dramatically launched Florida Gator football from a “good but not great” football program into an era of consistent elite status in college football.
 
The evening’s lineup includes three All-Americans who played instrumental roles in the Gators success during that 1990 season:

•  QB Shane Matthews, who emerged from the fifth string to lead the 1990 Gators to a 9-2 record, received All-American status and was a two-time SEC Player of the Year.  
• TE Kirk Kirkpatrick, who led the SEC in receiving in 1990, was named Gator 1990 MVP and was awarded the esteemed “Fergie Ferguson Award” (the highest honor a Gator football player can receive).
•  DT Brad Culpepper, who anchored the Gator defensive line in 1990, achieved All-American and All-SEC status and was awarded the prestigious Draddy Trophy, better known as the “Academic Heisman,” after the 1991 season.
