No need for defence of field goal decision

In the three days since quarterback Tim Tebow blew a gasket while defending UF coach Urban Meyer from the wayward verbal attacks of Miami coach Randy Shannon, much opinion has accumulated.

Fan reaction hypocritical

Let me get this straight: The Gator Nation moans and complains about how classless Georgia football coach Mark Richt was during last year's Gators-Bulldogs match up, but they see no lack of class in Urban's attempt to run up the score?

Barr viable candidate in election

As a supporter of presidential candidate Bob Barr, I would like to respond to Kyle Robisch's commentary by saying thank you. It is most flattering to a candidate and his supporters when someone pays attention, especially when he repeats the same old boring argument the Republicrats always use when a third-party candidate breaks out of the pack.

Opinion

Miami coach out of line

The recent complaints by Miami coach Randy Shannon about the Gators "running up the score" with a late field goal were completely out of line. To suggest that Urban Meyer has no character and is a bad person for letting his inexperienced kicker attempt a field goal late in a game is simply ridiculous.

Steve Miller Band for all ages

Contrary to a letter written to the editor Tuesday, I can safely assume that there is life beyond Lil Wayne and Kanye West. We all love the infamous song "Lollipop," but if anybody appreciates good music they can also jam to "Jungle Love" and "The Joker" without having to be 50 years old.

Trash talk should avoid slurs

I was happy to see the editorial about staying classy. I'm glad someone commented about some of the nasty things said between Miami and UF fans. My group of friends was a mix of Gators and Hurricanes fans.
