Top 10 calls Mick Hubert made as voice of the Florida Gators
Mick Hubert is calling it a career after 33 years as the voice of the Florida Gators.
He will be retiring this weekend following the UF baseball series with South Carolina. Hubert replaced David Steele in 1989 and has called every Florida football game since.
He is the only broadcaster in history to call national championship wins for the same school in college football (three), men’s basketball (two), and baseball (one).
Hubert considers his call of Danny Wuerffel’s touchdown pass to Chris Doering at Kentucky in 1993 as the one that “put him on the map” in Gator Nation.
“I’ve probably listened to that over 100 times in my life,” former UF athletic director Jeremy Foley said. “You could feel his passion. He wasn’t just calling that as a play-by-play guy. He was calling it as a Gator. That’s the magic he brought to a Gator broadcast.”
Here are the top 10 calls Mick Hubert made during his time behind the mic.
“DOERING’S GOT A TOUCHDOWN!”
Chris Doering’s game-winning touchdown at Kentucky in 1993, which launched Hubert’s career.

“HORN SOUNDS! BALL GAME IS ALL OVER! OH MY!”

“IT’S BEEN BLOCKED AGAIN! OH MY! IT’S BEEN BLOCK AGAIN!”
