    We are the most recent brand new National Champions!

    Ok so I was perusing Twitter and came across this stat by @CFBHome - College Football has not seen a brand new National Champion since Florida in 1996. Interesting stat! Everyone who won a natty since Wuerffel moving to the shotgun, Ike doing the stop-and-pop, etc etc in New Orleans, had...

    Alvin York sighting

    So, the kids are on spring break this week and so I'm taking them on a road trip to St Louis via Mammoth Cave National Park. While driving through Tennessee on I-40, which is VERY long by the way, I was driving along and was then taken aback by a sign I saw. "Next Exit - Alvin York VA Medical...

    Anyone been to Neyland?

    So I’m planning to go to Knoxville for the game next month. It’ll be my first Gator game in person in 15 years. Any advice on things to do there? I’ll be visiting my sister who is getting her MBA there but she’s not much of a sports fan. Also I can’t find tickets under $100 a pop. Is that to be...

    Gator program in 5 words?

    So I was perusing Twitter this evening and came across an interesting off season topic. Describe your football program in 5 words. Some were annoying... Bama - “We have 17 national championships” others were self deprecating “choked away the national championship” (UGA). Others were more...

    Missouri Valley Champs

    So I was reading the scores from today and saw that Loyola-Chicago won the Missouri Valley championship this year and is going dancing for the first time since 1985. They ended the season 28-5 and haven’t lost since January. Now looking back, does that impact our thoughts on our early December...

    Looking for Gators Baseball Tickets

    Hey y'all, So I'm bringing the family into town next week for Spring Break and I was hoping to take them to a Gators baseball game next Saturday night against Tennessee. Do these games sell out / do I need to get tickets in advance, or can I just show up and buy tickets when I get there? Thanks.

    Coaching Legend Passes Away

    LaVell Edwards passed away this morning at age 86. He was a legendary coach and really reinvented the game with his passing offense. Coached for almost 30 years at BYU, top 10 in all time wins, 20 conference championships, an impressive coaching tree, and of course one national title in 1984...

    UF Basketball #4 in RPI

    Hey guys. Looking for a random stat to brighten your day? Look no further than the Men's Basketball RPI. Our Gators are at #4 in the country, with the #1 strength of schedule. Crazy with 3 losses. Though the 3 teams we lost to are all in the RPI top 50. I think without digging deep...

    UF Volleyball Jobbed by Refs in Loss to Texas

    Did anyone watch Florida play an epic battle with Texas in the Elite 8 last night? Was a great match, went to 5 sets. The Gators however got completely screwed over by a horrendous call in the 5th set. A Gator kill that was in by at least a foot was called out. A 2 point swing, and the...

    Which Defending Champ Loses First?

    New England Patriots or Golden State Warriors? Was going to add Ohio State into this discussion...but LOL. Golden State appears more invincible than the Pats, but they play games more often. Will be interesting. I'm guessing the Warriors. Thoughts?

    Braves trade Chris Johnson for Michael Bourn, Nick Swisher and cash

    Interesting trade. The Braves give up disappointing Chris Johnson, who hasn't performed up to expectations since his outlier 2013 season and has repeatedly asked out of Atlanta. In return, they get back the over-priced contracts of Michael Bourn and Nick Swisher, both of whom seem past their...

    Gator Softball - Regionals Victory

    Hey guys, Just thought I would mention that in case you didn't catch it today, Florida beat Florida Atlantic 1-0 in 8 innings to advance to the Super Regionals, where they will host Kentucky for a chance to go to the WCWS. Their pitching is solid - no runs allowed in 3 games. But their...

    Great License Plate

    So I'm going on a road trip with the family, and as I was driving through North Carolina, I saw a UF Vanity on a Georgia license plate. The juxtaposition was awesome :) I seem to remember this being discussed on here a few years back - wonder if was anyone from on here. We did the Gator Chomp...

    Miami adds 5 star QB transfer

    With Miami in need of experience at the QB position, they added graduate transfer Jake Heaps, who has 1 year of eligibility remaining. He was a 5 star in high school, but his best year was his freshman year at BYU. All downhill after that - he lost his starting job at BYU due to injury and poor...
