There are three events that consistently mark the middle of July on my calendar - the release of the annual update to EA Sports' NCAA Football game (which my colleague Adam Berry so generously opined on in Tuesday's paper), my birthday (today, time to do it big) and the always-interesting ESPY Awards.
Amid another round of speculation about his future, which seems to become a topic of debate every few months, Urban Meyer once again restated his commitment to UF.
The moment you've eagerly been awaiting the past five days is finally here.

In 107 words, Tim Tebow went from hyped hero to living legend.
On Georgia's second play of its first drive, star running back Knowshon Moreno took the handoff from Matthew Stafford, tried to make a cut to get back to the line of scrimmage and was driven to the ground by Brandon Spikes.
Elyse Cusack came to Gainesville ready to become UF's first four-year starter at the libero position.
Similar to the leadup to the NFL Draft, Percy Harvin's health would be a major storyline for the Gators' two postseason games this season.
The legend of Preston Tucker's epic slugging abilities preceded him to an almost unhealthy level.

Stacey Nelson did not receive the national recognition Tim Tebow did, but she may have been better at her sport than any other athlete in Gainesville.
During her junior year, Francesca Enea broke the UF career record for RBI, set the single-season RBI mark and shattered the school record for home runs in a career and a single season. And she basically did it all on only one good knee.
Four years ago, Sha Brooks may have wanted to play basketball for Tennessee.
With 10 minutes left in the BCS National Championship Game and his team down by 3 but slowly marching down the field, Oklahoma's Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Sam Bradford launched a pass down the field to receiver Juaquin Iglesias.
Amid another round of speculation about his future, which seems to become a topic of debate every few months, Urban Meyer once again restated his commitment as UF's coach.
