The greatest artists of our generation started without any followers, only an idea and people who began to believe in them — now it’s your turn to become the believers for a new crop of innovators.
The last time Jessica Diestel saw Garth Brooks was when he took the stage at the Amway Center in Orlando two years ago.
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.
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.

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.
The buzz around Florida football is that a first-round pick lives on its defensive front, and he wears No. 99.
It must have been tough for Feleipe Franks.
For those of you hiding under a rock (or in a library), UF is a sports school. Well, in the minds of many, a football school at least. And basketball too. The running joke is whenever the football team lost last year, we could remind our opponents that “at least we’re a top 10 public university!” We could begin reminding ourselves that we don’t have to be just a football school, though. Maybe we’re a baseball school or a gymnastics school. A lot of sports go unnoticed, unappreciated — sports that have been top-notch for a long time. These sports deserve attention too.
Drew Lock saw Kam Scott the whole way.
Johannes Ingildsen shows up to practice with sunscreen on his face not rubbed all the way in and his freshly bleached blonde hair poking through his Gators hat.
Even the touchdowns were pitiful.
The smell of sweat, beer and hot dogs is in the air at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. So is love.
Tony Weinbender has two great loves: music and Gainesville. Seventeen years ago he lost $500 trying to combine those, but in doing so, he created an event that became a city staple and a community that never stops coming back for more.
