Madness in college basketball isn’t exclusive to March.
The matchups sound too salivating to ignore.

Most of Florida’s wins this season have been too close for comfort as far as fans are concerned, but online betting sites expect FIU to provide the cure this weekend.
About 75 graduate students packed the Senate and protested the fee before the resolution passed.
This week, Student Government is turning 100.
A battle is building in the United States over whether the current ban on travel to Cuba should be lifted, but for some in the UF community, the answer is simple: Lift the ban.
Student Government celebrated its 100th birthday at the Reitz Union Grand Ballroom Tuesday night with cake, a live band and about 190 guests.
Keith Wann garners silent applause for his comedy show in which he pokes fun at the differences between the hearing and hearing-impaired communities. Wann performed Tuesday night at the Reitz Union and was sponsored by the Signing Gators student organization.

This letter is not so much a response to Jeremy Piven’s last minute cancellation, but rather to the Accent Speakers Bureau’s choice in speakers. The fact that $85,000 was going to be spent on a second-rate actor is pathetic.
I am disappointed in Gators fans. With the SEC Championship tickets selling out in less than an hour last night, it was disappointing to students who missed out.

Speaking about the Bush administration’s war on terror, he wrote, “It’s a war, let’s start treating it like one.” I disagree with this.
This week, Congress is taking up the issue of the Cuba travel ban, part of an embargo started against the communist country in 1960. For nearly 50 years, it has been effectively illegal for Americans to travel to Cuba.
