It was 8 a.m. when the bagpiper began trotting down the hill. The first sound of tradition.
Obama isn't funny. There, I said it.
Alert the accent authorities. Joining a long list of faux pond-hoppers - Madonna, Johnny Ramone - On "Not Only … But Also," The 88 take their sunny, So-Cal pop tunes and cake them with a heavy layer of English inflection. You can't blame these lads for wanting to sound like the Beatles, but fact is, their talents lie elsewhere. For instance, Keith Slettedahl manages some Blind Melon-esque notes on uptempo ballad "Sons and Daughters." "Save Your Breath" fits the heart-on-sleeve, crooner mold, though impressively displays powers of ESP with the line "I don't want this anymore." Mind reader! Still, bogus Brit-pop influences undercut melodies like, "I'm gonna run through the door/ talk to the floor/ it must be true." A word of advice: Lock the door. The British are coming, sort of.
Sophomore Carl Johnson will likely get the start at left guard against South Carolina, UF coach Urban Meyer said Wednesday. Johnson suffered an MCL sprain in the Gators' 42-14 win against Vanderbilt on Saturday.

Student Senate is going on a field trip.
The Florida Bright Futures Scholarship Program may be popular with UF students, but the student aid is hurting the university, UF's Chief Financial Officer Matt Fajack said in a Wednesday speech.
The CD spine says Lady GaGa, but music for "The Fame" was actually co-written by Bilal Hajji, Josh Schwartz and a handful of other less attractive, more talented songwriters who churn out star-making cuts for the likes of Britney Spears and Nick Carter. You won't see the funnily-named song writer Brian Kierulf on "The Hills," but GaGa, a Factory Girl in training, hit up an Audrina party on said program thanks in large part to catchy, beat-heavy club cuts like "Paparazzi" and "Money Honey." Don't equate GaGa with fluff. She flourishes lyrically - "Let's have some fun, this beat is sick." And she pulls her weight in marketing: Rob Fusari can't rock jet-black spandex, and Martin Kierszenbaum doesn't sell records.
As the U.S. creeps closer to the beginning of President-elect Barack Obama's first days in office, the optimism toward the Illinois senator remains constant.
Darren Heitner walked around the Levin College of Law courtyard with a steady, confident pace Wednesday afternoon while his peers scrambled from class to class.

Jeff Demps and Chris Rainey brought enough speed to make opponents' defenses weak in the knees.
Marshae Dotson remembers success.
No one likes to hear stories about drunken driving, drunken fighting or getting caught drunkenly relieving yourself on a wall outside a bar. We don't like these stories because they always end with some form of the meaningless slogan "Drink Responsibly."
After weeks of practices and scrimmages this fall, there are still many uncertainties that surround the UF baseball team.
