This year’s UF-UGA game won’t be worth remembering
Oct. 29, 2009If you're a senior like me (I would technically classify myself as a redshirt junior, but that's besides the point), and you spent the last three Florida-Georgia games getting wasted at the Landing or in the parking lot of Jacksonville Municipal Stadium, I feel sorry for you.

Picks Column: Georgia
Oct. 29, 2009We're eight weeks in, and it seems the cream is already rising to the top. We invited five "real" writers to participate in the alligatorSports Brand Picks Column for the first time this fall, and so far, the only thing they are "real" good at seems to be losing. Four of the top five places are held by alligatorSports guys with Phil Kegler being the lone Alligator guy in the bottom five. We're sure it'll only be a couple more weeks before we bask in our complete dominance. Anyway, now let's debate a top-10 showdown that will likely determine the Pacific-10 Conference.

Picks Column: Mississippi State
Oct. 22, 2009Kyle Maistri is still fuming about the money he (would have) lost (if we condoned gambling here in the alligatorSports Brand Picks Column but we don't, so he isn't) because of Washington last week. And there are few things that Mike DiFerdinando loves more than Jake Locker and UW football.

By CALLOVI< | Oct. 21, 2009Florida's running game seems to be living by the motto, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Rating the SEC at halfway mark
Oct. 20, 2009If there's one thing I've learned, it's that 90's rock music holds the answers to virtually all of life's most important questions.

Addazio should be blamed for game plan, not execution
Oct. 19, 2009Somewhere between christening Mike DiFerdinando - our often overly optimistic friend and colleague - "Butters," and trying to fit our group dynamics into that of the wildly popular TV show South Park, it occurred to me.

Oct. 13, 2009The Florida football team is 5-0, ranked No. 1 in both polls, quarterbacked by one of the best college football players of all time, led by one of the best defenses in a long while and should coast into the Southeastern Conference Championship Game.
