Gator Bait!! I don’t have much to say because there isn’t much to say. We own the ‘Noles. We beat ‘em at Ron Zook field last year and, if not for some egregious officiating, we would’ve beat ‘em at home two years ago. In fact, there are

So far, so good Thanksgiving was excellent and I really enjoyed the time I spent with my family. It was a little short, but very good. Then, last night, I went to the Florida State vs. Florida basketball game. Although we opened facing a 21-4 deficit, we

Florida Basketball: It’s Faaaaaantastic! Well, I don’t think anyone saw this coming. Since yesterday, we’ve knocked off two Top 20 teams–Wake Forest (18) and Syracuse (16)–to win the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic. This year, I expected our team to be young, scrappy, a lot like the Kentucky

Close as could be Well, I sure didn’t expect Vandy to hang 42 points on us tonight, but it doesn’t surprise me all that much either. Everyone knows they’re a team that’s just waiting to break out and they almost did that in Gainesville tonight. Ironically, I

Big game tonight I’m not even being sarcastic. The Gators need this game pretty badly, but not in the typical sense. Meyer has begun to retool the offense, but we’re far from polished. We squeaked by Georgia using a stripped down offense that mostly went north-south. But

Heading home for Thanksgiving I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to make it home this year because of the high plane ticket prices, but things have worked out just in time. I was able to get my return ticket paid for by my company, so that

The football infestation continues… Well, I said I didn’t want this to become a football blog, but since I have no life and I love football, I guess that’s just what’s on my mind. We beat Georgia… again. I’m not saying that in a cocky way, it’s
