Florida didn’t get off to the start it wanted to in the NCAA North Central Regional, much like its rough start at the Southeastern Conference Championships.
Thanks to injuries and absences throughout the spring, we still don’t know what Florida’s offense will look like in the fall.
The Gators’ offense had not looked like it belonged to a top-10 team all weekend.
In softball, a team that averages two home runs per game is considered an elite power team.
Freshman Bob Van Overbeek and senior Antoine Benneteau took the pressure off each other in a tight match against Georgia on Sunday to give their coach Andy Jackson his 100th win at home during his UF tenure.
Florida had its first taste of overtime play Sunday, and it didn’t go well.
The Florida women’s golf team finished the SunTrust Gator Women’s Golf Invitational on Sunday in third place.
The April 5 explosion that led to the death of 29 miners in West Virginia was horrific. It was traumatic. And even to Gators more than 600 miles away, it was heartbreaking.
If you’ve been hearing a low rumble or seeing a faint column of smoke off in the distance, perhaps traveling in the direction of Afghanistan, be alarmed.
About 400 students stripped down to their skivvies for the 11th Great Underwear Dash to donate clothes to the Salvation Army.
It is unfortunate that Paul Murty would choose to proliferate the “conservatives are racists” narrative, and to do it with such a weak example. Poll after poll shows that a majority of Americans (especially independents) are opposed to the power grab that is the tragic “health reform” bill. The left has found it imperative to label opposition racist as opposed to arguing against the substantive points that dissenters put forth. After all, who cares what one has to say once that person has been branded a bigot, homophobe, racist, etc.?
For some, the Florida attorney general’s position may be seen as just another political stepping stone to bigger and better offices.
Saturday was about more than football for the 23 people who dragged 70-feet behind a boat and launched from the waves into the air at Lake Wauburg Saturday.

Geoffrey Giles, a UF professor in German history, spoke to about 350 people at the B’nai Israel Jewish Center for Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Walking around campus last week, you may have been confused. Is it Turlington Plaza or a war zone? Is it the Reitz Union North Lawn or no man’s land? Humans vs. Zombies has invited students to see things in a different way. The Student Body has, for the most part, declined the invitation.
Thank you Rosette Charles. Chivalry is not dead, but that is not the issue here.
During my four years at UF, it was obvious that Bernie Machen’s administration had zero concern for the Student Body. When Andrew Meyer was Tasered, when the Graduate Assistants United asked for slightly higher pay to teach classes, and when entire programs were cut without student input, the administration stood squarely against the students. Maybe it is fortunate that the worst offense to the Student Body came the year after I graduated and migrated north. Even if the brutal maiming of Kofi Adu-Brempong was somehow justified, it is the administration’s duty to stand up for its students. The University Police Department exists to protect the Student Body, and when a student is left with gruesome injuries at the hands of a UPD officer, the Student Body deserves an explanation and an investigation. Machen and the UF administration have once again failed the Student Body; blessing a handful of students with a meeting is not enough to fulfill the obligations that Machen is handsomely paid to perform. It has never been more clear that this university needs a new direction and new leadership. We need a university president whose loyalty and responsibilities don’t end with collecting a massive paycheck, and we need justice for the UF Student Body.
