When I first read Bryan Griffin’s Thursday column, I found it encouraging he would attempt to broaden his horizons and break from his normal pattern of beating Republican talking points. However, when it came to my attention Griffin had plagiarized, I could only feel disappointed.

Sadly, I was mistaken.

I have to disagree with Monday’s editorial. First of all, UF was never invincible, even with Tim Tebow. He was a significant contribution to our football success, but Tebow didn’t make or break the team. Chris Leak was the one who led the 2006 Gators to a national title.
The applause of more than 500 students echoed throughout the Reitz Union Rion Ballroom Monday night.

I was shocked by the assertion UF is “no longer an academic [and] athletic force” and it has returned to “mediocrity” after falling behind the University of Miami as the top-ranked college in Florida.
