Though a few of them will not be in the same pool or on the sidelines cheering, the UF men's and women's swim and dive teams will be cohesive in thought and action.
The young UF frontcourt showed flashes of its potential against Auburn on Wednesday. Saturday, the Gators will be face to face with talent realized.
AUBURN, Ala. - With the first three, Erving Walker gave the Gators a chance, with the second, hope, and with the third, Walter Hodge delivered a win.
AUBURN, Ala. - In their first two Southeastern Conference bouts, the Gators have scored the first knockdown only to have their opponents pick themselves up off the canvas.
The stars weren't aligned for Florida Community College at Jacksonville against Santa Fe College on Wednesday night.
It might be used as added motivation, or it might just be a painful memory from last season.
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.
After winning 15 games in a row, losing becomes an afterthought.
It's Nov. 22, 1996, and the final buzzer sounds on UF's 80-63 win over Central Florida.
The rest of the nation should have a succinct message for Mississippi's Kentrell Lockett: Thanks for screwing it up for the rest of us.
The stars must align. The dominoes must fall the right way.
Coming into the season, he was a receiver with nine catches and no touchdowns to his name.
Walter Hodge's haircuts have gone through almost as many ups and downs as the UF basketball team this season.
MIAMI - This was the ugliest game you've ever seen for the first 40 minutes. This game was a train wreck. A slow-paced, whistle-filled, commercial-clogged mess of a game.
MIAMI - Titletown is alive and well again.
MIAMI - It's funny to think that a player who committed two turnovers served as a stabilizing influence on the winning team.
MIAMI - It has become the Gators' signature play.
MIAMI - The prevailing sentiment entering the BCS National Championship Game was that whichever team played defense would win the game.
