At the 2012 NCAA Championships in Duluth, Ga., Kytra Hunter finished her floor routine with a nearly flawless double back tuck tumbling pass. Her score of 9.925 put Florida ahead of UCLA by .025.
Coach Amanda Butler left her team with more questions than answers after squandering a victory against the team from Rocky Top.
Florida’s 78-75 overtime loss to No. 9 Tennessee was a wasted opportunity.
With only 7 minutes of game time separating the Crimson Tide from a second consecutive national championship, A.J. McCarron and Barrett Jones were pissed.

For those of you who were here during the summer, you’re likely well aware that I’m a movie buff. I bombarded you with references to “John Carter” and “The Dark Knight Rises” like my life depended on it. Fortunately for you, I toned it down during the fall.

Sharrif Floyd couldn’t believe his eyes as the football fluttered in the air.
Kenny Boynton is not afraid of waves — or sea monsters, apparently. Florida is playing Georgetown on a boat tonight, and Boynton hasn’t even taken the buoyant surface of the Atlantic Ocean into account?
Florida football hasn’t done much growling in recent years.
We here at the alligatorSports Brand Picks Column usually make our picks each week without a second thought, exercising gusto, guts and a bit of bravado. However, we’ll all make picks come Tuesday that we’ve carefully considered, and we encourage you to do the same. That being said, the presidential race has featured plenty of mudslinging and with only 10 games separating first and last place in the Picks Standings, things are getting chippy amongst the pickers. We’re talking personal insults. Despite the bad blood boiling, we’re trying to run a clean race here. But hey, no promises!
