The turmoil is no more. The agony of waiting is a thing of the past. It’s finished.
You fool.
There needs to be a reckoning.
Ladies and gentleman, we have a mystery on our hands.
Please, save me your sighs.
Are you tired of retorting, “Oh yeah? Well our academics are better,” when a Florida State fan asserts their football team’s superiority? I would be.
Chip Kelly? Scott Frost? Dan Mullen?
The NCAA has a microscopic amount of chill.
Out of all the unpopular opinions I’ve formed about sports, there isn’t one I stand by more firmly than this: I hate the College Football Playoff.
COLUMBIA, S.C. — It started, like most good moments for Florida’s football team this season, with a punt.

Here’s a statement that goes without saying: Football can be an extremely brutal sport to play.
About two weeks ago, during Randy Shannon’s first day as interim coach of the Florida Gators, he began to explain how he would — and would not — be approaching the remainder of UF’s season.
Something unusual happened on Saturday after Florida’s train-derailment of a loss in Missouri. For one of the first times I can recall this season, a Florida player looked at the atrocity that is this team right now and was — gasp — honest.

This particular critic of Florida basketball said the Gators have lost too many quality players and haven’t added enough replacements to reach the Elite Eight for the second year in a row.
Florida men’s basketball coach Mike White is a realist.
