Picks: Missouri
Nov. 1, 2012We here at the alligatorSports Brand Picks Column usually make our picks each week without a second thought, exercising gusto, guts and a bit of bravado. However, we’ll all make picks come Tuesday that we’ve carefully considered, and we encourage you to do the same. That being said, the presidential race has featured plenty of mudslinging and with only 10 games separating first and last place in the Picks Standings, things are getting chippy amongst the pickers. We’re talking personal insults. Despite the bad blood boiling, we’re trying to run a clean race here. But hey, no promises!

The US and its enemies and allies abroad

Romney looks right through the glass ceiling
Oct. 18, 2012Considering he’s provided me with inspiration for several of my columns, a goal of mine for this week was to avoid mentioning Mitt Romney. But alas, I watched the second presidential debate Tuesday night, and yet again, that man’s mouth provided far too much fodder for criticism.

Picks: South Carolina
Oct. 18, 2012After a weekend of debauchery in Nashville, Tenn., the alligatorSports crew comes home to Gainesville. We’re worn out from country music and Coyote Ugly saloons, but we’re just as excited to see College GameDay on campus as everyone else is for one reason: Erin Andrews.

Online Classes: Out of sight, out of mind
Oct. 17, 2012There are few things that really, really bother me — like trips to the dining hall where no food is lying out fresh and ready for me to devour or waiting at a bus stop longer than I am actually on the bus itself — and Internet classes.

Vote ‘Yes’ on One Mill for Schools
Oct. 14, 2012Four years ago, during the 2008 election cycle, voters in Alachua County voted “yes” on the One Mill Ad Valorem Tax, a property fee levied against homeowners in Alachua County that is used to directly provide funding to schools’ nurses, elementary art and music programs, K-12 school library programs, K-12 guidance programs, classroom technology, school magnet programs and high school band and chorus programs. This voting initiative, which expires in 2013, will be put to a vote again this election cycle, and I am writing to urge voters to vote “yes” on this imperative revenue source used to fund our school programs, which in turn make our community stronger.
