Splitting games over the Thanksgiving break may not have been the ideal way to ring in the holiday for Florida, but there’s little time to dwell on the past weekend with Florida A&M (3-2) coming to town at 4:30 this afternoon.
Florida blows out Florida State in Tim Tebow's final home game.
UF upset No. 2 Michigan State en route to Legends Classic title.
Florida State kicker Dustin Hopkins trotted onto Florida Field to attempt a 20-yard field goal with the Seminoles down 30-0 at the end of the third quarter and gave the 90,000-plus onlookers a startling wakeup call.
UF held FSU to 55 first-half yards.
Jordan Jones scored a season-high 25 points to lead the Gators.
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. – Since practice started in mid-October, Billy Donovan has talked about Florida’s newfound maturity and renewed commitment to defense. Both were on full display this weekend.
No. 15 UF will face College of Charleston on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. – If Florida’s upset of No. 2 Michigan State on Friday announced the team’s return to college basketball relevance, Saturday’s game proved the Gators aren’t going anywhere.
Senior Day couldn’t have gone much better for the Gators.
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. – It wasn’t always pretty, but with tough defense, excellent free throw shooting and clutch plays down the stretch, Florida escaped with its biggest win in more than two years.
Boasting a taller starting lineup than the Gators, St. John’s presented a post-game threat that took a toll and manifested itself in a 61-47 win over UF on Friday in U.S. Century Bank Arena in Miami.
Although this is the first Gators team under coach Mary Wise to not win the conference, that won’t be the only way she remembers it.
The Swamp is about to host one of the biggest games in its 70-year history.
“Senior Day” just doesn’t do it justice.
In Florida’s first real test of the season, the team proved what it is capable of.
The Swamp will say goodbye to a legend Saturday, but he will not be wearing any orange or blue.
After last week’s great matchups, I can only hope rivalry week will give us some thrilling games like Florida’s last-second 62-3 victory over FIU, Alabama’s narrow 45-0 escape of Chattanooga or Texas’ 51-20 tough win over Kansas. This week’s slate has games with great history such as Alabama-Auburn, Florida-Florida State, Clemson-South Carolina and UCLA-USC.
I’ve been called a lot of things by friends and readers, but homer has never been one of them.
