The Gators’ football roster for 2010 is pretty much set now that National Signing Day is over, which means it is now possible to make accurate depth chart predictions for next season.
There’s this new thing out that’s pretty fantastic.
Well, it finally happened. I suppose it was only a matter of time before one of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel’s well-rumored, profanity-laced harangues would surface while he was in office. Indeed, it was only a snippet of his Chicago-sharpened talent, but it was worth the wait.
Every once in a while I allow myself to get lost in the feel-good “amateurism” of college sports.
A year ago, dozens of women’s and civil rights activists gathered at the White House to watch President Barack Obama sign his first piece of legislation into law: the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Restoration Act.
I don’t understand the Tea Party. I’ll admit that I’ve spent the past day trying to research what they want on the Internet, and the only thing I can come up with is they just don’t want to pay taxes. I can understand the frustration. I hate when I go to Publix to buy a newspaper and I have to pay an extra 6 or 7 cents in sales tax. But that’s mostly because I just don’t feel like getting that much change.
Starring in a controversial anti-abortion commercial bankrolled by a fundamentalist Christian group, Tim Tebow headlines the first-ever “issue ad” aired on Super Bowl Sunday and has effectively hijacked the pre-Super Bowl hype machine.
Just because Sharrif Floyd is the top-rated defensive tackle, according to Rivals.com, doesn’t mean it is a sure thing he will succeed in college.
Last Wednesday, I stopped by the UF Study Abroad fair outside of the Reitz Union to discover what options are open to me for getting out of Gainesville and my pitiful dorm room.
On Wednesday, we may all be witnesses to a miracle.
Breakups aren’t fun. In fact, as far as things in relationships go, they pretty much suck.
Every foreign tourist who comes to America must think we are walking advertisements for the latest low-calorie Budweiser. America has a drinking problem and a culture that once scoffed at the idea of moderation.
There was a torrent of publicity surrounding Apple’s unveiling of its iPad last week. I watched a video of Steve Jobs presenting it, and needless to say, I wasn’t impressed. Here’s a quick rundown of what transpired:
As long as I can remember, we have had terrible political divisions in our country. The only time Democrats and Republicans seem able to work together are in times of crisis, like after the attacks of Sept. 11 or Pearl Harbor. The politics of our country, specifically of Congress, are inherently wrong and against what Americans want.
Before the men’s basketball season started, I wasn’t sure how good Florida would be or how the Gators would fare against a much tougher nonconference schedule.
Too often during times of chaos and conflict, children are marginalized victims and face extreme suffering and life-threatening problems.
There are many avenues President Obama could have traversed with his first State of the Union speech, and I suppose that he can be forgiven for wanting to stick with whatever it is his teleprompter told him to say Wednesday night. I probably would have paid attention if he were wearing a T-shirt with three wolves on it.
Two days into Senior Bowl practices, and the result is in on Tim Tebow’s NFL career: He’s not going to succeed at quarterback.
The whirlwind that is “Avatar” made it over to the Vatican earlier this month in a private screening before its release in Italy. They were not enthused with the movie, and I am not surprised with their reaction.
