Don't be fooled by the fact that Hawaii is listed before Miami on UF's schedule. The matchup with the Hurricanes on Saturday is the real season opener.
UF President Bernie Machen declared in his State of the University address Thursday that UF lacks the resources it needs because of a "gloomy economy." Perhaps he should have taken this into consideration before endorsing Sen. John McCain in January.
Silly Brandon James, you're probably going to make us do this most weeks, aren't you? After his 74-yard punt return for a touchdown, James was named the SEC's Special Teams Player of the Week on Tuesday. It's the second team in his career he's won the award. He is one touchdown short of tying the school record for punt returns, set by Jacquez Green while he was here in the '90s.
Holding a sign that read "HHS Is Sexist," Nihusa Oviedo stood silently on the corner of West University Avenue and Southwest 13th Street in hopes of snagging the attention of passing drivers.
The Gators played a nearly flawless game on Saturday, but if there was one flaw to be found, it was in those tiny, yellow flags that flew all around the stadium.
It looked like a punt that wouldn't be returned, bouncing twice on the grass.
UF's secondary went into the season opener against Hawaii hoping to prove it was better than the unit that finished No. 98 in the nation in pass defense last year. It's still too early to tell how good the group is, but outscoring the Warriors and quarterback Tim Tebow isn't a bad start.

Typically we only dole out laurels at the end of the week, but given the circumstances, we don't mind handing out a big one to start the week. Besides, a little positive opining once in a while couldn't hurt.
The abortion debate always manages to rear its ugly head, but now it's finding more inconspicuous ways to do so.
The idea that UF would put up eight touchdowns against Hawaii wasn't all that far-fetched, but doing so while quarterback Tim Tebow scored just once didn't seem quite right.
In a move that was timed to steal media attention from Sen. Barack Obama's nomination acceptance speech at the close of the Democratic National Convention, Sen. John McCain announced Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska as his running mate.
