When I found out I was going to be covering track and field for the Alligator, two things happened immediately.
I still remember my first semester at UF in 2012.
Bridget Sloan called it her slump period.

I had been planning a column calling on UF athletics director Scott Stricklin to fire women’s basketball coach Amanda Butler for weeks. I was waiting until after the season ended — presumably with an early exit in the SEC Tournament — to write it. It was actually supposed to run in place of this column, but then it didn't need to.
To my readers who may not be athletic or interested in sports, I apologize to you for my incoming analogies which may be lacking in relevance to you. For the rest of you, have you ever noticed how you must change the way you maneuver when you play on a different court or field? For those who have ever played tennis, football or volleyball, you are probably saying to yourself right now, “Yes, idiot.

I still have the emails from my freshman year — three of them from former alligatorSports editor Phillip Heilman.

Early in the first set of Florida volleyball’s match against Arkansas, UF setter Allie Monserez lofted the ball into the air toward rightside hitter Alex Holston. The senior lept into the air and delivered a hard smack on the ball, slamming it down on the Razorbacks’ side of the court for a kill.
After eight consecutive sweeps against conference opponents, it’s hard to fault the No. 5 Florida volleyball team.
