In light of the infamous Tasering incident at UF on Sept. 17 as well as the controversial appearance by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at Columbia University on Sept. 24, I urge my fellow Gators to welcome Dr. Jack Kevorkian to Gainesville with open arms.

It takes more than national titles to make Gators fans bleed orange and blue, according to researchers who believe the sense of community in college sports keeps fans loyal to their teams.
UF safety and team captain Tony Joiner was arrested and charged with burglary early Tuesday morning, according to a Gainesville Police report.
