Every meal Florida’s football team eats is meticulously accounted for. Calories are measured down to the last bite, and it all corresponds to the team’s new strength and conditioning program.
After splitting its first two matches last weekend in the VERT Challenge, the No. 4 Florida volleyball team enters the Bubly Invitational with its third top-ten matchup of the season against No. 7 USC today in the O’Connell Center at 7 p.m. The team will then face Louisville on Saturday and UCF on Sunday.
With zero goals in its last two games, Florida’s soccer team has been hit with a major offensive lull. With the No. 2 team in the nation heading to Gainesville on today, the Gators (2-2) will have to play to their full potential if they’re going to end their scoring drought against the Bruins (2-0).
Offense wins games, but defense wins championships.
“The Hangover” could take a lesson from the way Florida struggled last weekend.
Florida no longer has a question mark at the starting quarterback position.
Graduating four starting All-Americans isn’t ideal for any team in any sport. Losing multiple senior leaders usually gives way to a follow-up year headed by confused underclassmen.
Dan Mullen’s an interesting person.
Coach Mary Wise has built one of the premier programs in Gator athletics. Since 1991, Wise has constructed a volleyball program that is constantly at the top and rarely struggles to find its footing.
It wasn’t until the 103rd minute that Oklahoma State’s Marlo Zoller hit the back of the net from 14 yards out and put the hopes of a Gator victory to rest.
Two games in three days is not typically an ideal scenario for a soccer team.
The Gators’ side of the court at the Devaney Sports Center grew quiet as the team gathered in the middle for one last huddle, their faces as white as their jerseys. An attacking error by UF handed the No. 3 team in the nation a 12-10 lead in the deciding set.
Hey all you NFL players, it’s finally time.
It’s rare to start any sports season the way it ended.
“They were a probably a little better than we were expecting.”
If you are anything like me, you were sitting in front of a TV screen Wednesday night watching Ohio State and Urban Meyer hold a press conference to announce how Meyer’s fate would play out. He was either getting fired (which was extremely improbable), getting suspended or getting off the hook.
A new coaching staff, a frying pan and an AR-15.
UF coach Becky Burleigh isn’t fooled by Ohio State’s record.
