National Signing Day is one week away.
It's a slow time of year for the major UF sports.
Amanda Butler walked into the postgame media area with orange-and-blue Gators flip-flops flip-flopping with her.
Once again, the UF basketball team is listed in the AP Top 25 poll this week. Neat.
Your first sultry kiss of another's lips gives you goosebumps. It's exciting, nerve-wracking, but still an experience unlike any other. It's more memorable than that third one for sure, even if that third time around you were much better at the art of lip smacking.
It is easy to overvalue the present and immediately believe what you just saw is better than the previous "best." The trap always looms. So going into this debate, I took special notice to steel myself against the norm.
I still giggle at the thought of Steve Spurrier throwing down his visor inside The Swamp. That's part of his legacy. And the really funny part is that he would only throw it down once, maybe twice a game. Gators fans were happy he got that upset only a few times per game.

MIAMI - He doesn't know. Even if he has an inkling, he won't tell you. Perhaps you'll get one of his school-boy chuckles and "yes sirs" or "yes ma'ams." It could be just a grin and an "I don't know."
MIAMI - If I had to list the reasons why I love sports, athletes talking trash would certainly rank near the top. It's as much a part of athletics as muscles, sweat and egos, but the art of smack talk seems to have fallen by the wayside lately.
MIAMI - As sportswriters and fans, one of the fun things about following sports is debating the implications of wins and losses and the legacies of winners and losers.
NEW YORK - There should be a more succinct way to describe why Tim Tebow deserved to become the second player ever to win two Heisman Trophies.
Memory is a funny thing.
ATLANTA - The Southeastern Conference Championship was hyped as an old-school-versus-new-school clash, but in the end, there was only one major difference between No. 1 Alabama and No. 2 Florida.
