The best way to spend syllabus week doesn't include another night in Midtown
(01/11/19 2:24am)
There’s nothing better than a week to get back into the swing of things. School might have technically started Monday. But let’s be honest, it doesn’t really start until next week.
About one-third of graduates show up to university-wide commencement

It’s been nearly 50 years since UF students have all graduated together in The Swamp.
Gainesville can be a music titan, but only if it stays weird
(12/02/18 7:11pm)
Gainesville is considered a progressive music hub. I’m not sure what factors play into making a city more “hipster” than others, seeing as it’s a pretty subjective descriptor, but I’m not complaining. Maybe that's accounting for how many successful musicians have hailed from Gainesville. In that case, we have Tom Petty, Stephen Stills, Benmont Tench and Don Felder, to name a few. So I can see how we’d top the list. Or maybe they take into consideration the current state of music and art within Gainesville.

With Idaho dispatched, Gators turn attention to FSU
(11/19/18 1:28am)
You don’t need to be an expert to know the Gators had a better football team than Idaho. The 63-10 final score was like the tickets at Krishna lunch: more a formality than a necessity.
Stop being mean to Feleipe Franks
(11/18/18 6:59pm)
The second chorus of “We Are the Boys from Old Florida,” the song sang at the end of every third quarter, contains the line that everybody knows and loves: “In all kinds of weather, we’ll all stick together.” This line is a staple in UF households, so it’s easy to take for granted, I suppose. 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.

Gators lean on the run in comeback win
(11/10/18 6:13pm)
Lamical Perine made a jump-cut with elite quickness. The junior running back juked against the grain of his blocking and burst through the line 23 yards from the South Carolina goal line. He zig-zagged past defenders and blockers and juked again. Burgundy helmets and white jerseys flew past his body. Then, nobody stood between Perine and the end zone. Touchdown.
