It's a circus at SEC Media Days
July 22, 2008This place is an absolute zoo. Southeastern Conference commish Mike Slive announced in his opening speech at about 12:45 Central Time that more than 850 people were in this hotel in the middle of Alabama.

Program illustrates local mismanagement
July 21, 2008s long as they avoid the monument to capitalism that is Butler Plaza, many denizens of Alachua County are able to convince themselves that the county is their own little bohemian paradise, an enlightened splotch of blue in an otherwise hopelessly red part of the state. Along with the ivory-tower idealism leaching out from UF, this attitude has resulted in a certain political party controlling local government practically unopposed for decades.
