Kings of Comedy: Gator Growl stands up for humor
By Justin Plemmons | Oct. 13, 2010What do O.A.R, the Steve Miller Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd have in common? If you said that none of them have been relevant for more than a decade, you're only partially right. They were also the last three headliners for Gator Growl.

Boys who like girls — and boys: Happy Bi Day
By Eric Kossina | Sep. 22, 2010From left to right: a woman, a man and another man, all holding hands.
