No. 18 Florida clownstomped Missouri, 40-14, Saturday afternoon in the comfy confines of Ben Hill Griffin Stadium during its annual homecoming celebrations.
It was a game enjoyed by hundreds of Florida fans:

Perhaps most importantly, however, a hellcat skeleton—wearing purple and gold Mardi Gras beads—appeared on the Florida sidelines. Was this an imp of the devil coming to reclaim his boss' end of the deal with Jim McElwain or something more sinister?
Florida is claiming a fan threw it on the field:
The Halloween cat seen on the field after last nights game was thrown onto the field by a fan. It has no significance within our program.

Still seems like an ominous sign to me, Florida.
