Florida heads into the postseason as a virtual lock because of the dominance they displayed during the regular season. If it doesn’t hoist the National Championship trophy April 17, it would be a disappointment.
Florida lost its opening series to the Miami Hurricanes, but columnist River Wells has advice for nervous fans: relax.
OPINION: If this year’s team can stick the landing, it has the potential to be among the best Gators teams of all time — across any sport.
We want to see SG elections that are representative of the student population. The first step to reaching that goal is extremely simple: the mobilization of students to vote in SG elections.
Over the summer, UF President Kent Fuchs shared his plan to combat racism on campus in an email entitled, “Another step toward positive change against racism.” However, if this was truly ‘another’ positive change against racism, what was the positive change before this anti-racism plan?
COVID-19 has proven to be difficult and exhausting. However, there is nothing more encouraging to me than knowing the hard work of our faculty and staff is making a real difference and that our students are persisting and excelling.
It’s exhausting living in a constant state of fear and anxiety, but not taking the necessary precautions are only going to prolong the pandemic, and make things more difficult for those like myself, who are trying to work outside of home.
It is important to see how far we have come and to honor the tough choices we have made to sustain ourselves during the pandemic. We continue to have important choices to make individually and collectively moving forward which can make a big difference in survival.
This is not the end of the Union Party dream — it is the beginning of a new era for the indie movement. It’s time for change.

The demands being made in the recent Reitz boycott may be new to many current students, but they have deep histories within two interrelated struggles on UF’s campus: one towards food justice and the other away from the prison-industrial complex at UF.
Forum sites (notably Reddit) had been quietly talking about the possibility of GameStop actually turning into a profitable company, and loudly talking about the opportunity of a short squeeze. And in mid-January, they got their chance.
Former Gators coach Urban Meyer may be primed to tackle the next level with the Jacksonville Jaguars, but a bad historical precedent and a lacking roster could keep him from seeing immediate success.
While the UF administration employs GATORSAFE as a tool of discriminatory policing, students must refuse to attend face-to-face HyFlex classes in solidarity with our instructors' right to do the same.
I knew there was nothing I could do to help or prevent the car from coming, but I saw the whole thing happen. In that moment, the only thought on my mind was my sorority sister, Maggie, and if one little thing was different, that even could’ve been me who was hit. It could have been any of us, and it could have been prevented.
As the vast majority of UF students have discovered during the first week of this semester, spring classes are a ‘worst of both worlds’ amalgam of digital and classroom learning when well-planned remote learning would be safer, cheaper, and more effective.
South Carolina’s A’ja Wilson was immortalized in bronze last week, and UF has female athletes that deserve to be — and should be — enshrined in such a way as well.
After five UF students were hit by a car, the university released a statement about the crash closing with a promise: “The safety of our campus is paramount, and we want you to know conversations are underway regarding pedestrian and vehicular safety, on and around our campus.” But will conversations be enough?
