The Gators have gotten used to playing with distractions this season.
It’s hard not to feel a little sorry for Tim Tebow and Greg McElroy.
Five years ago, Sergio came to the United States to work as a roofer to support his family back home in southern Mexico.
Within the first four minutes Tuesday, the Gators jumped out to a 12-0 lead.
Pay attention, public relations majors.
A story in Monday’s Alligator incorrectly reported that Cafe Gardens’ property is owned by Trimark Properties. Trimark is the property manager.
Senators mixed talks of funding, food and global politics at Tuesday night’s Senate meeting.
Starting Sunday, Library West and Marston Science Library will stay open until 4 a.m.
Many mornings after a night on the town, UF student Alina G. has difficulty putting together the names and faces of who she met the night before.
Young cancer patients all over the country will be getting a little extra cheer this holiday season in the form of a greeting card. The UF chapter of Friends for Life of America kicked off its annual Hearts for the Holidays campaign Tuesday on Turlington Plaza.
Storms developing ahead of the cold front may put a large area of north and central Florida at risk for severe weather, according to a press release issued by the Florida Division of Emergency Management.

This World AIDS Day, I reflect on the number of people in the U.S. and abroad who contract HIV daily. It’s a staggering number. I also remember those who are currently living with HIV, a disease characterized by stigma and social blame. While originally considered a disease of gay men, many today are living with HIV for reasons beyond their control — including receiving tainted blood transfusions.
I am curious as to why there was no mention in the Alligator of Bernie Machen’s hit-and-run incident and subsequent criminal charges. He received a notice to appear in court on a misdemeanor charge after hitting a parked car and not leaving insurance and contact information as required by law. Something like this is newsworthy, especially given the fact that he refused to admit fault until police got involved and escorted him back to the accident scene.
While it is sorely disappointing to find out about Carlos Dunlap’s DUI, The Gator Nation should not be quick to judge, and he should certainly remain eligible for the game on Saturday.
You drink, you drive, you lose... lose the Southeastern Conference?
Last Saturday’s festivities were a tremendous send-off for a unique senior class. My wife hadn’t been back to the university in 16 years, and the students and fellow alumni we met were all very friendly. We got to tour the dorms still there, the Heavener complex, and met Alberta at a volleyball game.
Being accosted by crazies of all types, usually benign, is normal in a college town like Gainesville. However, when it’s virulent hatred that evokes remembrance of Nazis persecuting Jews and other minorities, silence is not always the best response.
Over Thanksgiving, I got to spend a week with my 19-year-old sister, who’s a sophomore at a state school in the Midwest.
