Florida Gators Vs. Tennessee Volunteers: Men’s Basketball Preview
The fastest of fastest previews due to serious time constraints (read: I got seriously sidetracked by a whole lot of nothing this morning). And I blame the 11:00 AM start time. It’s the Florida Gators. It’s the Tennessee Volunteers. It’s SEC basketball. Cue annoyingly ancient network television intro music.The FactsOpponent: Tennessee VolunteersWhen: Saturday, January 7,...

Chandler Parsons Dunks On Blake Griffin (Sort Of) Then Unleashes The Stare Down
The Houston Rockets were blown out by the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night, but that didn't stop former Florida Gators' star Chandler Parsons from unleashing the stare down on Blake Griffin.When you dunk on someone, which I guess Parsons sort of kind of not really did on Griffin, you stare them down. It's a basketball rule. It shows that person that you are so...

Florida Gators 24 - Ohio State Buckeyes 17: Winning Record Secured With Gator Bowl Victory
How nice is it to win? The answer is very nice. Regardless of the circumstances or situation, a win can become a moment of happiness or at the very least relief that's much needed and desired. In this instance, it meant 7-6 and not 6-7 for the Florida Gators. Defeating the Ohio State Buckeyes in the Gator Bowl 24-17 secured a winning record for Will Muschamp is his first year...

Florida Gators Vs. Ohio State Buckeyes: Gator Bowl Preview
We’ve arrived at the end of the Florida Gators’ season. Before it all started, we had an idea it would be rough. What we didn’t know is exactly how many bumps we’d hit in the road along the way. This may seems excessive and (cue violins) it was all difficult to stomach as a fan coming off of the 2006-2009 era. Cry me a river, right? Well, we will. Facing the prospect of a...

Florida Gators 90 - Yale Bulldogs 70: Gators Bounce Back With Big Win
The Florida Gators rang in the New Year early with a 90-70 win over the Yale Bulldogs. While lost in the midst of bowl games, college basketball will soon take the forefront for the 11-3 Gators. Beating Yale was expected; defeating them authoritatively was needed. Well, maybe not needed, but good for getting back on track after the double-overtime loss to the Rutgers Scarlet Knights...

Florida Gators Vs. Yale Bulldogs: Men’s Basketball Preview
A double-overtime loss to the Rutgers Scarlet Knight on Thursday put a questionable defeat on the Florida Gators’ resume.

These days – and by these days I mean the last several years – there’s more than enough Tim Tebow to go around. The former Florida Gators’ superstar hasn’t seen a day go by without his name plastered throughout the media.

Rutgers Scarlet Knights 85 - Florida Gators 83: Upset Drops Gators To 10-3
To keep you guessing, I have posted the recap of Thursday night's game over at Alligator Army. To do the same, the Florida Gators lost in double-overtime to the Rutgers Scarlet Knights.Thursday's loss did little to answer questions about how good Florida can be. At times, the Gators looked like their offense would take over and send them to a big victory. At others, the defense...

Florida Gators Vs. Rutgers Scarlet Knights: Men’s Basketball Preview

Bradley Beal, Patric Young And Their NBA Comparables
The Florida Gators are a good college basketball team. They may even be a great one. As the season has moves forward, we’ve learned what the current team can do and some of what they can’t. All told, it looks to be another successful season for the Gators. This may not be a team that wins a national championship, but it’s one we could envision making a run in the tournament...

Florida Gators 2012 Football Schedule Has Its Benefits And Drawbacks
On Wednesday, the Florida Gators’ 2012 football schedule was released to anticipation not experienced in quite some time. That anticipation had as much to do with the Gators as it did with the new (and improved?) 14-team SEC. We knew Florida would be facing the Texas A&M Aggies and Missouri Tigers, but we weren’t entirely sure when and how those games would impact the rest...

2012 Florida Gators Football Schedule
It’s December 28 and the Florida Gators have yet to play their final game of the 2011 college football season. What better time than now to discuss the 2012 schedule? On Wednesday, the Gators 2012 schedule was released, five days before Florida would close out the 2011 season. This isn’t surprising, but it may be a little early to be discussing what will happen in 2012 when...

Maurkice Pouncey Named Pro Bowl Starter; Tim Tebow, Cam Newton Selected As Alternates
When our favorite Florida Gators go off to the NFL, we dream of glorious professional careers for them. Careers filled with many moments of success, maybe a Super Bowl and an induction into the Hall of Fame when all is said and done. Along the way, we want to see them become Pro Bowlers and be selected as All-Pros. We hope their success as Gators translates easily to Sundays. More...

The Gator Bowl: Confidence Is…
I awoke this morning from my holiday coma and realized I really don’t know what to think about the Gator Bowl. I know John Brantley’s final game as the Florida Gators’ quarterback won’t reach the must-see levels of Tim Tebow’s. I know the Jeff Demps/Chris Rainey Acceleration Hour is about to air its final episode. I know Urban Meyer isn’t yet the head coach of the Ohio...

Five years ago today in the midst of preparing for the biggest and what would be the last game of his career with the Florida Gators, safety Reggie Nelson lost his mother to cancer. Mary Lakes fought valiantly with breast cancer for three years before passing away on December 21, 2006. A fearsome player on the field, Nelson was a "mama's boy" in the best possible way...
