Are you tired of retorting, “Oh yeah? Well our academics are better,” when a Florida State fan asserts their football team’s superiority? I would be.
Chip Kelly? Scott Frost? Dan Mullen?
The NCAA has a microscopic amount of chill.
Out of all the unpopular opinions I’ve formed about sports, there isn’t one I stand by more firmly than this: I hate the College Football Playoff.
COLUMBIA, S.C. — It started, like most good moments for Florida’s football team this season, with a punt.
It looked bad. Malik Zaire crumbled after taking the snap and shifting his weight to left leg.
Here’s a statement that goes without saying: Football can be an extremely brutal sport to play.
About two weeks ago, during Randy Shannon’s first day as interim coach of the Florida Gators, he began to explain how he would — and would not — be approaching the remainder of UF’s season.
Something unusual happened on Saturday after Florida’s train-derailment of a loss in Missouri. For one of the first times I can recall this season, a Florida player looked at the atrocity that is this team right now and was — gasp — honest.
After Missouri’s 45-16 beatdown of the Gators, there’s a lot of blame to go around on both sides of the ball.
Well folks, that didn’t work.
After a memorable 1,061-day stretch serving as Florida’s football coach, Jim McElwain’s reign in Gainesville came crumbling down on Sunday afternoon.
The other day, someone I know and respect made a solid argument that the No. 8 Gators’ men’s basketball team wouldn’t live up to expectations in 2017-18. This particular critic of Florida basketball said the Gators have lost too many quality players and haven’t added enough replacements to reach the Elite Eight for the second year in a row.
Florida men’s basketball coach Mike White is a realist.
Let me start off by saying I am no college football expert. I just watch games and form opinions based on what I see, like any other fan of the sport. With that being said, there are less than five weeks left until the field of the College Football Playoff is announced. Here are my picks for which teams will fill those four spots.
Jim McElwain is out as Florida’s football coach. What were some of his best and worst moments during his time at UF? Let’s take a look:
JACKSONVILLE — I felt something on Saturday I’ve never felt before when listening to Jim McElwain speak. It was some combination of pity, sadness or, really, any emotion other than frustration, which I’ve felt plenty with McElwain in the past.
What a week it’s been for Florida football coach Jim McElwain.
The 2017-18 NBA season is now well underway, and already we’re witnessing some great things. Rookies across the league are having profound impacts, and several conference powerhouses are coming to form as they work through the growing pains of the early season.
Substance abuse. Parking lot fights. Port-a-potties as far as the nose can smell. No, it isn’t graduation at Florida State, it’s the Florida-Georgia game.
