The Fair Weather Fan: A triumph of sports marketing

The Fair Weather Fan: A triumph of sports marketing

Part of the American ethos is that we should love sports, and that we should love particular sports teams. This goes all the way to the top: George W. Bush recently threw out the first pitch at a World Series game, and next March will bring hours

Need a story? Blame the refs!

Full disclosure: I’m a psychotic Florida Football fan. I spent almost six years as an undergrad at UF, and I’m there now working on my MBA. I may be biased. But so is everyone else who follows or reports on sports, so I’m not alone. In this

Ten weeks later…

Remember that time when I said I was going to try and make a substantive post every two weeks? Me neither. So, here’s what’s been up since my last post: Well, obviously, we’re more than SEC Champs these days. Since we whooped up on OSU, we’ve become

Florida Gators: SEC Champs!

I’m still getting used to the idea that we’re playing for the National Championship in a few weeks. It seems as though we’ve been struggling since the second half at Auburn, and yet we’ve done nothing but win since that game. Here are my thoughts on our

Road trips!

Road trip 1: Tonight, for the first time in about three years, I went running (outdoors and everything!). I’ve been doing various cardio exercises–ridin’ the bike, the crazy elliptical thing–for a few years, but I hadn’t gone for a run in a while. It was actually pretty

Florida Football limping, sputtering to wins

Florida Football shoots self in foot

I’ve been meaning to write about Gator football for several weeks, but I’ve been distracted with changing careers and moving back to Gainesville. Anyway, here’s my assessment of the season so far: We’re good. Really, really good. Our earlier games showed that we’re a strong team with

Texas is good I figured they were a decent team, but I was blown away by their performance tonight. There’s no doubt that Vince Young is one of the best quarterbacks in the game and he answered all questions about his passing ability tonight. This year’s Rose

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
