    The Passion Behind Florida Football was an Official 2000 Home Video release by the University of Florida Athletic Association - Butts In The Seats Productions conceived and produced the 2-hour plus

    documentary style film. 

     

    In addition to the University of Florida and other retail outlets selling the VHS tape,

    PBS stations around the state of Florida broadcast portions of the video during pledge. 

     

    While cameras rolled over a single season, covering every aspect of Gator Football from tailgating to

    road tripping with fans, the final film showcases a lifetime of memories and fandom.

    It's a stunning inside look at the orange and blue football faithful.

     

    The video's structured like a football game with 4 quarters and a halftime.

    One of the other unique aspects to this production is no voice-over narration was recorded.

    Aside from the scripted on-camera host segments, original interviews, natural sound

    and music tell the complete story.

     

    DVD copies available upon request.
