We here at alligatorSports Brand Picks Column weren’t the most well-off in the financial department to begin with. Then we turned into a bunch of degenerates and bought way too many Powerball tickets on Wednesday night.
The demise of Hostess would have counted Twinkies as one of the victims of a tough economy, but it would have been good riddance, right? Sugar is for the weak.
Senior Day at The Swamp has arrived. Nineteen seniors will be honored before Florida takes on vaunted Jacksonville State. For those wondering, Jacksonville State is in Alabama. This will certainly turn into a classic the masses will be cluckin’ about for years to come. UF always seems to do well against non-BCS schools at home, right?
Kenny Boynton is not afraid of waves — or sea monsters, apparently. Florida is playing Georgetown on a boat tonight, and Boynton hasn’t even taken the buoyant surface of the Atlantic Ocean into account?
We here at the alligatorSports Brand Picks Column usually make our picks each week without a second thought, exercising gusto, guts and a bit of bravado. However, we’ll all make picks come Tuesday that we’ve carefully considered, and we encourage you to do the same. That being said, the presidential race has featured plenty of mudslinging and with only 10 games separating first and last place in the Picks Standings, things are getting chippy amongst the pickers. We’re talking personal insults. Despite the bad blood boiling, we’re trying to run a clean race here. But hey, no promises!
This season has been downright scary for the rest of the alligatorSports crew when Adam Pincus is at the wheel. Whether it’s agitating 18-wheeler drivers on our way to College Station, Texas, or almost driving off a hill in Knoxville, Tenn., something always seems to happen on Southeastern Conference road trips. With Halloween six days away, the gang is getting ready for another road trip — this time to Jacksonville for the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party. This de facto SEC East championship game will surely spur several intense Will Muschamp facial expressions. Those, my friends, are the scariest things of all.
After a weekend of debauchery in Nashville, Tenn., the alligatorSports crew comes home to Gainesville. We’re worn out from country music and Coyote Ugly saloons, but we’re just as excited to see College GameDay on campus as everyone else is for one reason: Erin Andrews.
The alligatorSports crew will pile into the car today for a road trip to Nashville, Tenn., to watch Florida take on Vanderbilt. While we're on the road to the "Music City," what better way is there to pay homage to the county seat of Davidson County than by putting together a killer playlist for the ride? We could always crank up a little Elvis as we make detour to Graceland. Perhaps we'll all sit in stony silence as "Party in the U.S.A." plays on the radio while secretly freaking out in our minds. Nashville native Miley Cyrus is still hip, right? And then, who knows? We've been on the road at all hours of the night covering this beat like a bunch of "Ramblin' Men" and "Midnight Rider(s)," just like the Nashville-based Allman Brothers Band. There will be music, and there will be football. Nashville seems like a nice place.
One in five Americans is not affiliated with a religion, according to a Pew Research Center study released Tuesday. And though many UF students worship regularly at Gainesville religious centers, college has a reputation as a prime time for twenty-somethings to question their beliefs.
On Wednesday night, living rooms across the country hosted two heavyweights fighting it out for supremacy. As expected, Barack Obama and Mitt Romney traded jabs and zingers, trying to win over as many voters as possible. But the real battle begins on Saturday.
Before Will Claye ran like his brother, he walked like him.
On Thursday night, the NFL welcomed back referees who are actually qualified to officiate professional football games. What a concept!
After two weeks on the road, we here at alligatorSports will finally spend a weekend in Gainesville. But instead of catching up with school work and cleaning up the hell holes our rooms have become during our absence, we plan on getting wasted on whatever’s cheapest and introducing ourselves by our column names to numerous unimpressed females at Midtown.
Another week, another road trip for the alligatorSports Brand Picks Column.
A University Avenue student center will transform into a food and business center next year.
An Apple announcement scheduled for Wednesday has people across the nation — and UF’s campus — buzzing about possible new products.
Gainesville Police arrested a man accused of breaking into a tobacco store Sunday night and stealing synthetic marijuana and cigarettes to pay for his drug addiction.
UF received $644.4 million in research funding during the last fiscal year, $25 million more than the previous year.
