Trump’s complacency with racism is concerning
Sep. 17, 2017Another day, another tweet from President Donald Trump. It doesn’t quite come as a surprise to anyone anymore, does it? Our president has desensitized many of us to his cruelty and ignorance by exposing us to his repulsive words on a daily, or sometimes hourly, basis.

What exactly does it mean for UF to be a top-10 university?
Sep. 17, 2017What makes a university great? Is it the academics? The prestige? The ability to help students move up the socio-economic ladder? And what are we really bragging about when we share a Facebook post about UF being a top-10 public institution?

Pets are a part of the family, too, please don’t leave them behind
Sep. 17, 2017It’s been a week since Hurricane Irma did a number on the Caribbean islands, Puerto Rico, Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. Many are still reeling from the damages, stress and anxiety brought on by the storm. More than 6.5 million people were told to evacuate Florida based on the projection of the storm, and a lot of them did. The interstates quickly became clogged with terrified people desperate to get themselves and their loved ones out of the storm’s path.

Column: Three things we learned from Florida’s win over Tennessee
By IAN COHEN | Sep. 16, 2017There were fumbles. There were interceptions. There were goal-line stops and juked defenders and a 63-yard touchdown pass to win the game with zeros on the clock.

Column: Florida needs a win on Saturday. Badly.
By IAN COHEN | Sep. 14, 2017You’ve heard this before. You’ve heard it so many times that it has probably lost much of its meaning: Florida’s next game is a must win.

Sorry, but 'American Horror Story: Cult' just isn’t all that scary
Sep. 14, 2017I have to give Ryan Murphy credit. I didn’t think there could be an “American Horror Story” season worse than the fourth season, “American Horror Story: Freak Show,” but two episodes into “Cult,” I think I have to call it.

The preparations we made for Hurricane Irma probably saved our lives
Sep. 14, 2017As far as hurricanes go, Hurricane Irma was one for the history books. As the largest hurricane ever recorded in the Atlantic Ocean, it steadily grew in power as it meandered its way over warm ocean waters. For more than a week, Irma had the undivided attention of Floridians, as well as the entire country. The week prior, Hurricane Harvey caused billions of dollars worth of destruction in Houston.

Sep. 14, 2017You pop your head out of your apartment door. It’s Monday, Sept. 11, 2017 — the day after Hurricane Irma hit. You and your roommates decide now that the storm has passed, it would be fun to navigate the great outdoors and investigate the damage Irma left behind.

Column: Has Jim McElwain given up on getting back Antonio Callaway and Jordan Scarlett? It sure sounds like it.
By Matt Brannon | Sep. 13, 2017Imagine being an SEC coach. One under SEC expectations from SEC fans, looking down the barrel of a brutal SEC schedule. One stuck with a scarcely tolerable offense, even by SEC standards.

Journalism is an underrated, misunderstood and important field of study
Sep. 12, 2017When I tell people I am a journalism major, I am often met with wary looks. I have had some people make statements about how much money I will make. Others have the completely wrong image of what I want to do.

When it gets tough, Gainesville comes together
Sep. 12, 2017During the past long weekend, I had a lot of time to reflect on how our community comes together when the possibility of a natural disaster looms over our heads. For one, it touched my heart to see just how close this community has become within the last week or so.
