Did you know Alachua County and the Town of Alachua are pronounced differently. It’s hard work for Gators to do it right, but they get four years to try!

Alachua also makes for a good local version of “The Lion Sleeps Tonight”... everybody sing!

Are they gonna  get in? 

I admit I have been too busy to follow NCAA basketball this season, but they are still getting some poll votes.  

UK tomorrow. . . :tw_grimace:

yeah, up and down since.  I think they're in; just a matter of the seed.  UK at home this weekend I think.

Beisbol is tops...of course...

Bianchi chats with the Head Ball Coach about his 1990 Gators. He still claims that team as SEC champs that year, even though the NCAA rolled it back. Gosh, no wonder he and Danny White get along so well together!

A Gator sophomore from Longwood l, Kayla Kalhor, made it to tonight’s semifinals of the Jeopardy! College Championship. Congratulations and if we find out she advances we’ll let you know.

I’d love to have UCF in the SEC. But UCF fans would have to adjust to getting beaten up and losing 4 to 5 games a year.

There are maybe 4-5 teams in the SEC we’d have problems with. The others are mostly a joke. Example: Ole Miss got its head handed to it by Memphis last year. Memphis STILL can’t beat us.

Tbh, I don’t think we’re a good cultural fit for the SEC but I thought it interesting one of their fansites are even willing to acknowledge us. For some reason, it’s the conference that’s having the most trouble realizing we’re legit (and yes, the Gators are the worst about it).

Speaking of Memphis, last year they were arguably the best team in TN, MS, KY, AR and MO. If they were brave enough to play them*, do you think Memphis would have had a problem with Tenn (ahem, lost to Ga. State) or Vandy?

* The SEC teams in TN refuse to schedule Memphis

The SEC has declared no more conference championships in Mississippi until they remove the Confederate Battle Flag from the upper left corner of their state ensign.

Stay tuned.

The SEC - It Just Means More

Now if we and Alabama would just stop trying to be subtle in our racism and ditch our St. Andrew’s Crosses, we’d know the South was serious about moving on.

Btw, the red cross on the Florida flag didn’t actually appear until 1900 as the “Lost Cause” myth was gaining strength to prop up Jim Crow.
