Welcome to College Bites
By CHRISTINE HART<br | Sep. 9, 2008I first became interested in cooking in high school and came to UF (pursuing a degree in art) with ideas and recipes that have helped me cook healthily for myself while staying on a budget.

As I see it, if you become familiar with a particular ingredient, technique, or basic recipe and learn how to play with it, it can become so much more than one involved, rigid recipe ever could.

Miami coach out of line
By Cameron Frye | Sep. 9, 2008The 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.
