Florida coach Amanda Butler knows cracking the starting lineup may seem like a big deal to some.
Starting middle linebacker Brandon Spikes has been suspended for the first half of Saturday's Vanderbilt game, Florida coach Urban Meyer announced Monday.
Eventually, a couple of players will have to start separating themselves from the rest of the pack to win the Heisman Trophy, but until then, our alligatorSports Heisman Watch will continue to have shake ups.
Florida linebacker Brandon Spikes is suspended for the first half of Saturday's Vanderbilt game, coach Urban Meyer announced Monday.
Urban Meyer didn’t need to call any timeouts. Even with UF fans chanting for Meyer to rub in No. 1 Florida’s 41-17 win over rival Georgia with some late timeouts, he passed. His point had already been made.
The Gators finished a respectable fifth in scoring defense in the SEC last year, giving up 67.4 points per game, but the real problem can be seen in how well other teams shot against them.
JACKSONVILLE - You and I may never know the actual words.
JACKSONVILLE - Florida linebacker A.J. Jones had a nightmare start to a dream game against Georgia on Saturday.
The Southeastern Conference still revolves around Gainesville.
Last season Kelly Murphy broke the school record for most triple-doubles in a career, this season she broke the school record for most triple-doubles in one weekend.
With a Southeastern Conference title back in Gainesville for the first time since 1997, the No. 5 women's team will now focus on the NCAA Regional Championship and NCAA Championship meets in the upcoming weeks.
For the second consecutive year, Florida's women had trouble defending their home natatorium against the Georgia Bulldogs.
JACKSONVILLE - Florida linebacker A.J. Jones had a rough start to a dream game against Georgia on Saturday.
JACKSONVILLE - Urban Meyer didn't need to call any timeouts to drive his point home this time.
After running out to a 22-19 lead in the third set, the Gators allowed the Crimson Tide back into the match as the set went back and forth until sophomore outside hitter Kristy Jaeckel knocked down three kills to help No. 10 Florida (17-3, 11-2 Southeastern Conference) take charge and eventually win the set 33-31.
Barney found herself unmarked in the 20th minute, and her header from four yards out gave the Gators a 1-0 lead. UF never let South Carolina back into the game, winning 3-0. Florida needed the win to clinch its fourth straight Southeastern Conference title.
With just one more touchdown run, Florida quarterback Tim Tebow will overtake Herschel Walker as the all-time Southeastern Conference leader in career rushing touchdowns.
If 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.
We'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.
McKenzie Barney and Kat Williamson know all about last year's Southeastern Conference champions.
