After the first game of the 2012-13 athletic year, Florida is already hoping for a change of pace.
Gamedays at UF aren’t just about football.
Jacoby Brissett smiled when asked about the potential of starting at quarterback for Florida.
Behind the cluttered facemask that adorned bits of turf and paint from the field, he peered into the roaring depths of orange and blue that drowned the stands of Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.
Florida coach Will Muschamp called last year’s team soft. With new offensive coordinator Brent Pease, the tone is changing.
With the Gators’ turnovers at a minimum last season, the interceptions naturally followed suit.
Chris Thompson scored six touchdowns last season for Gainesville High School. His mother saw every one.
With Jaye Howard gone to the NFL and Ronald Powell injured, Sharrif Floyd and Dominique Easley will try to pick up the slack for Florida’s 2011 sacks leaders.
At times last season, the Gators seemed embroiled in chaos — much like what the citizens of Gotham City experienced at the hands of The Joker in “The Dark Knight.” But with a little help from Batman, the people proved resilient and outlasted the terrorist clown.

Welcome to UF, that shining orange-and-blue Mecca of fellowship and camaraderie. Here, you’re not a number, you’re a person — part of a family that has linked arms across the country to make the Gator Nation.

My name is Tj Villamil and I’ll be serving as your Student Body president for the 2012-13 academic year. Not only will you have one of the best collegiate experiences in the nation, but the people you will meet here at UF will be your friends for life.
After two years of growing pains, repairs and accommodations, the local restaurant The Jones Eastside is expanding with a new downtown location.
When you first get to UF, that stretch of bars and restaurants across from the stadium, on a little lane called University Avenue, seem to glisten. That strip, in all its glory, beckons you from your dorm late at night after your parents move you in, when you’re finally free of curfews.
The Reitz Union offers leisure courses, or informal classes taken for fun, year-round. The classes meet periodically at the Reitz Union or at other locations in Gainesville, making them popular for students, faculty members and locals alike. People enroll each semester by the hundreds.
It’s 6 p.m. You just woke up from a nap in your dorm room, and your stomach is screaming in hunger. The last thing you want to do is put an Easy Mac bowl in the common area’s sketchy microwave. It’s the first week of your freshman year, so you don’t know anything beyond the bounds of University Avenue or 13th Street.
