Wouldn't it be great to have 214 gallons of gasoline for your car? Doesn't 4,000 packages of Ramen noodles sound delicious to you? Or would you prefer 831 cans of Budweiser? These items each could be yours for ,600.
Seth Adams isn't your typical Southeastern Conference quarterback.
I am sickened by the story and video of the student tortured by the Taser for free speech.
Kyle Cox seems to believe he, above respected political scientists, historians and sociologists has full and perfect knowledge of those things that are acceptable to protest and those that are not.
Though the national spotlight is focused on the Tasering incident at Sen. John Kerry's appearance, discussion of the affair was limited at the Student Senate's meeting Tuesday night.
If free safety Kyle Jackson emerges as a playmaker in the UF secondary this year, a late-night phone call may be the reason.
Monday's Tasering did not mark the first time Andrew Meyer has been surrounded by controversy.
"To Surge and Project electrified probes into your body," should be the new motto for our University Shock Troopers (formerly the UPD).
When I first saw the Andrew Meyer video, I was stunned that a conservative activist could act so foolish and immature. When it was revealed that he is actually a Kerry supporter, the whole ordeal made much more sense.
Despite Monday's Tasering incident, Student Government's speakers bureau will continue to operate normally, a top official with the organization said Tuesday.
Opinions bombarded the UF Office of University Relations after University Police Department officers Tasered telecommunication senior Andrew Meyer on Monday.
Reading all the comments people have made, whether online or in the paper, I think that people are somewhat misguided in their anger. What happened to Meyer was wrong, but what didn't happen was even worse.
We'd be lying if we said we weren't overwhelmed with the response to Monday's event. We're overwhelmed with the work it's generated for our newsroom, but mostly we're overwhelmed by the community's response.
I just watched the video of Meyer being arrested on CNN, and I was horrified.
UPD was most definitely justified in using a Taser on Meyer. If it hadn't, he might have overpowered those police officers. Who knows what could have happened then - he might have asked Kerry another question.
The broadcast media's spin on this situation is akin to that of a reality television show. Every video I've seen, including on CNN and MSNBC, has shown only the most controversial parts of what happened.
One Andrew Meyer didn't get Tasered or arrested on Monday. He wasn't even at Sen. John Kerry's speech.
Andrew Meyer's arrest on Monday has no doubt sparked debate about how much force officers can use. Some believe Tasering him was out of line; others think the punishment fit the crime. But before we pass judgment on anyone, consider this snippet from Florida law:
A Taser is hardly "vicious weaponryC as Kyle Cox's Tuesday column stated. The whole point of a nonlethal, safe weapon is to avoid bringing out the actual "vicious weaponry.C
Contrary to reports circulating in southern Florida, wide receiver Deonte Thomspon seems to be content in Gainesville, Gators coach Urban Meyer said Monday evening.
