How it Started
Josh White and Kevin Fulmer, two fervent Florida State fans and members of the Baptist Collegiate Ministry (BCM), wanted to find a way to show their love for Florida State football. At the end of the 1998 home opener against Duke, they painted themselves with paint and glitter and raced around the stands encouraging fans to cheer for the team. Their impromptu display of Seminole spirit has become a BCM and Florida State tradition and is also now an essential and highly-anticipated part of each football game. Since this tradition began, thousands of Florida State fans have taken their picture with the Garnet and Gold Guys and enjoyed watching their antics at Doak Campbell Stadium. The tradition has continued without interruption since 1998 as two Garnet and Gold Guys have been chosen from the BCM each year to lead the fans in cheering on the Florida State faithful. In 2010, SAA partnered with the BCM to underwrite this colorful Florida State tradition.
