Thinking about a few topics concerning all things Florida Gators…
Dan Werner. I think we are all in agreement that Dan Werner is a liability on the court at any given time. Now I’m not one that concentrates too much on basketball. I try to catch every Gator basketball game I can, but I certainly have less knowledge of the game than some. But every time I have seen Werner check in this season, I get nervous. He is shooting a career-low .336 from the field, and .279 from bonus …

Xavier Steals Ones in Gainesville

The Xavier Musketeers stole a game against the Florida Gators men’s basketball team tonight in the O’Dome. I never would have thought the Gators would lose this game, especially playing it at home. But once again, the Gators couldn’t hit a free throw to save their lives and it cost them another game. The Gators are now 17-8 and with only 6 games remaining, their chances of making the tourney are looking very slim.

In one form or another, we’re all going through that dreaded syndrome called “football withdrawal” now that both National Signing Day and the Super Bowl have come and gone. Those of us who follow Gator basketball find that helps take the edge off a little, but for the next two weeks I’ll be following another sporting event that I enjoy, even though we lack snow in this great state of Florida: the Winter Olympics.

Gators Lose Crucial SEC Game to South Carolina

The Florida Gators were leading almost the entire game, but were clearly outplayed in the second half by South Carolina and ultimately lost to the Gamecocks last night by a final score of 71-77. We kept hearing about how great Devan Downey is all week and he didn’t disappoint last night. He torched the Gators for 24 points and nabbed 4 steals. The Gators now fall to 17-7 overall and 6-4 in the SEC.

The Florida Gators men’s basketball team look to improve their overall record to 18-6 (and 7-3 in the SEC) tomorrow night in Columbia, South Carolina as the Gators battle it out on the hardwood against the Gamecocks. The Gators won their previous matchup against the Gamecocks 58-56 about 2 weeks ago when Chandler Parsons hit a buzzer beater.

Football America wrapping up, Countdowns Begin.

The Super Bowl has passed, the ads were aired. Football is over, and the withdrawal symptoms are starting to appear…

Who dat say gonna beat dem Saints? Definitely not the Colts. Drew Brees and the Saints beat Manning’s Colts 31-17 last night in Miami. Brees (32/39 288 yds 2tds) was absolutely clutch with his record-tying 32 completions with a passer rating of 114.5, grabbing the game’s MVP award.(The record ties Tom Brady in Super Bowl XXXVIII against the Carolina Panthers)….. As we all know Tim Tebow appeared in two ads featuring him and his mother on Super Bowl Sunday. One during the pre-game show and one during the game’s first quarter. After all of the controversy concerning the ads message of anti-abortion, it was obvious that all of the outcries of unfairness and inappropriateness were wasted.

Typing away at the laptop yet again…….
Gang, it’s a little over 15 minutes to the start of the Super Bowl broadcast after all the, um, pre-game “festivities”; I’m anxious for the game to actually get underway and hearing The Who at halftime. I happen to be an aficionado of classic rock, and the last time I was in Hoggetowne I had a CD of theirs playing on my car stereo. (A little trivia: the drummer, Zak Starkey, is former Beatle great Ringo Starr’s oldest son.)
We compiled one awesome recruiting class last …

The Florida Gators won a close game last night over the Alabama Crimson Tide by a final score of 66-65. It’s refreshing to get back on the winning track, but a little scary that they had a tough time with Alabama … who just isn’t very good. The Gators are now 16-6 overall and 5-3 in the SEC, holding steady at 4th place in the SEC East.

Well, You can pop the cork folks. 28 Commitments, 11 Early Enrollees, The number 1 player in the country, 4 Five Star recruits, A LOT of Four star recruits(there’s so many I’m not sure) and the nation’s consensus number 1 recruiting class(Rivals.com has USC number 1, for some odd reason, nobody is sure why). I think it’s safe to say that Urban Meyer is truly the KING of recruiting this year.(Edit: Steve Addazio has been named the nation’s top recruiter this year.)
From top to bottom, left to right, this class could …
