The newest version of the 2008 UF basketball schedule includes Syracuse on Nov. 24 and either Kansas or Washington on Nov. 25 as part of the O'Reilly Auto Parts CBE Classic. Florida and Kansas would both have to either win or lose their previous games to meet. UF lost to Kansas 82-80 in overtime during the 2006 Las Vegas Invitational.

McCain doesn’t support troops

I opened up the Alligator on Wednesday to find an awful rant by Andrew Fells. I would like to set him straight. First, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's bubble has just burst. Maybe it has something to do with her personal tanning booth or her cutting funding for Alaska's Special Olympics.

Hand scanners a waste of money

At a time of grave financial crisis, record layoffs and severe budget cuts, UF and Student Government have no business allowing the installation of expensive hand scanners in the recreational facilities. Students do not want their money wasted on such technology.

Mocking Andrew Meyer bad journalism

Editors of the Alligator, your blasting of former Gator Andrew Meyer was both childish and highly hypocritical. You belittle Meyer for using the non-swear term "blowjob" in a reference to former President Bill Clinton's infidelity and support Accent for cutting his microphone. However, later in the same article you refer to Meyer's actions as "douchebaggery," another offensive term on the same level as Meyer's tame "blowjob."
