Tebow turtle auction to benefit children
(Jenna Ezell / Alligator)
A statue of a turtle modeled after UF quarterback Tim Tebow sits at a street corner two blocks from Jacksonville Municipal Stadium in Jacksonville, Fla., the stadium where the annual UF-Georgia football game is played.
Part football legend, part sea turtle and a little bit of alligator, Tebow Turtle marks territory claimed by the Gators in last year’s UF-Georgia game.

Darts & Laurels
Although we currently lack an Opinions Editor, the Editorial Board is still chock-a-block with opinions. As we prepare to celebrate National Let’s Light Shit On Fire Day, let us all remember to exercise caution when launching a Roman candle at the feet of our drunkest friend. We hear the emergency room waits on July 4 are more painful than the burns. Plus, no one likes losing digits. Without further adieu, the Editorial Board presents Darts & Laurels.

alligatorSports Podcast 6-30-09
On a "Year That Was" edition of the alligatorSports Podcast, Adam Berry and Phil Kegler further explain the Top 10 UF Athletes of 2008-09 list, look back on the 2008-09 sports year and some of its highs and lows, then talk about Nick Calathes in the NBA Draft as well as how the Gators will replace him next season. Before handing out their Reggie Nelson Awards for Excellence in the Field of Sport and Kyle Jackson Bad Angles of the Week (including a surprisingly lengthy, angry conversation about riding the bus in Gainesville), the two do a four-topic round of 2 Minute Warning, including a quick chat about Tim Tebow's chances of winning an ESPY.
