You’re deep asleep. You went to bed at 3 a.m. — still on your Winter Break sleeping schedule — when you hear it: that all too familiar beep beep beeping of your phone alarm. No, it’s not a bad dream.

Recently, The Swamp has become a hostile environment, and I don’t mean toward other teams. Actual Florida fans have begun to boo our quarterback, Feleipe Franks. While some plays may not transpire the way we envisioned, we do not, as students, fans, classmates and decent human beings, have the right to belittle someone as a person.
