Stay Classy: Sportsmanship extends to fans, too.
By The Alligator Editorial Board | Sep. 7, 2008Saturday night's football game was everything we thought it could be. Although we have our worries about the correlation between media hype and the Gators' actual potential, the Editorial Board was thoroughly satisfied with the team's victory over Miami.

RNC lacks substance
By Matt Martz | Sep. 4, 2008Hurricane Gustav has passed with, thankfully, little damage, allowing Republicans to drop all pretenses of bipartisanship and launch into what, in my mind, is the nastiest convention in recent history.
Opinion
Palin no comparison to Clinton
By Rachel Brenner | Sep. 4, 2008Sen. John McCain's choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate shows his inability to comprehend what Sen. Hillary Clinton's female supporters really stood for. In view of Palin's ultraconservative views, to believe that her gender alone would cause Clinton supporters to run in McCain's direction because of some estrogen gravitational pull truly insults female intelligence.

Gators should rally around Obama
By Christopher McBryde | Sep. 4, 2008Politics aren't my thing. One of my favorite quotes by Albert Einstein is, "Yes, we have to divide up our time like that, between our politics and our equations. But to me our equations are far more important, for politics are only a matter of present concern. A mathematical equation stands forever."

Darts & Laurels
By The Alligator Editorial Board | Sep. 4, 2008This week, we'll start on a positive note. We would like to issue a 50-years-is-a-long-time-but-let's-keep-the-ball-rolling LAUREL to UF and George Starke Jr. for demolishing our school's color barrier a half-century ago. The feat may seem small now, but such an important breakthrough demands everyone's recognition and thanks.

Road Trip!
By The Alligator Editorial Board | Sep. 3, 2008As if the bus ride home didn't take long enough already, upcoming road construction on Newberry and Archer is forcing the Editorial Board to break out the Google Maps and study Gainesville's back roads harder than we study for class.

Liberal bias on university campuses not fair to education

Alligator not immune to trash talking
By Scott Erker | Sep. 3, 2008Isn't it hilarious that on the same day that the Alligator prints the rants of a representative for College Democrats and a representative from Gators for McCain, it runs an editorial decrying the bipartisan trash talking of political hacks?
