SAN ANTONIO — As the buzzer rang throughout the corners of the Alamodome, Walter Clayton Jr. wandered into the back of the frame. In his line of sight were his teammates launching into the air in jubilation, ceremonially hugging one another amid a range of joyous motions, and the night in San Antonio seemed like it wouldn’t die. But for Clayton Jr., it was already over.
I only recently became a Florida Gator. Before 2020, I was a proud Oklahoma Sooner who cheered loudly against the Gators back in 2008 as they whooped us 24-14 in the Orange Bowl. However, since joining UF’s neuroscience PhD program as a graduate student, I now rep the orange and blue and sing “Don’t Back Down” in the Swamp every chance I get.
Walking into La Aurora Latin Market, the vibrant colors of Latin American flags hang proudly from the walls, each one representing not only a country but also showcasing products tailored to each unique culture.
Never in the history of Florida’s baseball program have the Gators gotten off to as poor of a start to conference play as 2025. After starting 0-8 against SEC opponents, UF took one game against Ole Miss before returning to its rough showings.

While many artists sugar coat how terrifying love can be, one artist in particular never shies away from depicting it as tumultuous, painful and sometimes, even more frightening than death itself. With an angelic voice and heart-wrenchingly beautiful lyrics, singer-songwriter Kevin Atwater released his latest album, “Achilles” on March 7.
A dance battle between two wizards competing for the title of High Priest of Camelot broke out in the Plaza of the Americas Monday afternoon after Warlock Corpuis crashed a rally supporting his rival, Salizar The Great.
The barometer of success for any program in sports is the number of wins and titles it amasses. In college baseball, there haven’t been many programs better than the Florida Gators since manager Kevin O’Sullivan took the reins in 2008.
There is something so tantalizing about listening to sad music — not so much for the catharsis Mitski offers or the emotional wreck that Julie Doiron pulls out of you in the most invasive ways imaginable, but for the aesthetic itself.
When Trevor Wayne first picked up his worn-out copy of S.E. Hinton’s novel “The Outsiders” in seventh grade and began to read the opening lines, it became more than just an assignment. Even though he was sitting in an English classroom in Boca Raton, Florida, he saw himself in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He saw himself in the characters who came to life before him, both Greasers and Socs alike.
On Saturday night, No. 3 Florida couldn’t escape the number three in the SEC Championship in Birmingham, Alabama. Placing third, the Gators collected three perfect scores, performing the best in the third rotation: the uneven bars. Three gymnasts, senior Leanne Wong, senior Riley McCusker and junior Selena Harris-Miranda, also collected SEC awards.
During Todd Golden’s first spring as the Florida men’s basketball head coach, he hit the recruiting trail quickly. Having only been on the job for nearly two weeks in April 2022, he made six trips to scout six possible transfers. Five misses. The sixth? A reserved-yet-vocal 6-foot-5 Belmont freshman guard.
“Shells.” That was the story from Florida football’s third spring practice. The term would be only loosely interesting if you were at the beach. It’s even less intriguing in the context of college football. But on Tuesday, the Gators took the next step of the NCAA’s mandated spring football schedule, putting on guardian cap-less helmets and shoulder pads — shells — as they completed their third practice.
“She said what? She said stick.”

The shell of an egg. The peel of an orange. The leftovers that sit in the fridge too long. These all contribute to food waste, which Americans generate 92 billion pounds of each year, according to Feeding America.
The first time Zerrin Martin saw an orchestra on television, she was mesmerized. The cellists and violinists on stage seemed to hold a kind of magic, and she knew even at 2 years old she needed to be a part of it. She begged her parents for music lessons, and soon, she was at the piano, her tiny fingers dancing across the keys. Little did she know, this was just the beginning.
In Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein,” Victor Frankenstein follows the pattern of humanity’s creation. He creates life from a dead body, borrowing bits and pieces from people who already lived rich, fulfilling lives. At the point of his success, Frankenstein looks upon his monster not with pride, but with disgust, fearing the evil he brought upon the world.
