Was also in student section, don't remember Chief getting pelted (could have happened, I had depleted the Jack Daniels supply by then) but do remember the oranges raining down as the blowout progressed. Didn't Chief come out on the field in the pregame with his flaming spear and Mike ran over and broke it? Crowd was in a frenzy. Had a friend run to a payphone to call his bookie to double his bet on the Tigers - no way we were going to lose that game.

This happened - I remember it vividly. Not sure if it was the real FSU mascot (and it was an agreed upon event) or if it was one of our guys playing a part.

Chief came out, did a little display in front of the student section, then planted the spear. I don't remember if it was lit or not. During the display, Mike was sneaking up from behind. Chief cowered away in fear and Mike picked the spear from the ground and dramatically broke it over his knee.

It was corny as hell, but cool. I was 13, so that probably had something to do with my perception of it.
