Just when I go and say the Florida Gators softball team has a great shot at winning the Women’s College World Series they go and get romped by No. 5 seed UCLA in one of the worst beat downs in Gator softball history. I wonder if I jinxed them? The Gators (48-9) lost by a final score of 3-16 and now will have to work their way through the losers bracket if they want to win it all.

First off, HUGE congrats go out to our Gator baseball team for winning the regular season SEC title; here’s hoping they can make it back to Omaha for the CWS. Congrats to Jeff Demps on his stellar track season; can’t wait to see him back in action on the football field this fall!

There are four former Gators playing in The Players: Camilo Villegas, Brian Gay, Mark Calcavecchia, and Chris Couch.

Hard to believe the Winter Olympics are already over; aside from the pre-opening ceremonies tragedy involving the luger from Georgia (Nodar Kumaritashvili) being killed on a training run, Vancouver deserves to be highly commended on a job well done. Based on the fact that the United States and Canada brought in the lion’s share of the total medals as well as staged impressive championship hockey games, albeit with Team USA settling for silver medals in both the men’s and women’s finals, …
