No. 1 Florida didn't do much to erase all the negative vibes from rough week for the defending champions. Tim Tebow accounted for two touchdowns, Caleb Sturgis kicked two field goals and the Gators beat Vanderbilt 27-3 in a lackluster effort Saturday night at The Swamp. Florida fans looking for something positive following linebacker Brandon Spikes' one-game suspension for dirty play and coach Urban Meyer's hefty fine for criticizing officials may have been disappointed. The Gators (9-0, 7-0 Southeastern Conference) extended their winning streak to 19 games overall — and their streak against Vandy (2-8, 0-6) to 19 games, too — but struggled on ... Read Full Story

The Bull Gator has a good piece contrasting Steve Spurrier in his Gator years, to Steve Spurrier now at South Carolina. The main difference we see now is that growing up as a Gator you wanted to be the coach of the team. Back then Spurrier overshadowed his players, even Danny Wuerfel.

And Louis Murphy and Percy Harvin were on hand to watch the game from the side lines. So what did we get from Jeremy Fowler - Orlando Sentinel via their OSGators twitter feed on Sunday? The ghost of Percy Harvin and Louis Murphy...Seeing those two on the sidelines last night just accentuated what #Gators lack this year. Yes, the "ghosts" of Percy Harvin and Louis Murphy came back to their beloved alma mater to enjoy something they didn't accomplish in all their ... Read Full Story

And he and his eye black rose not only to national fame in the US, but also to international fame, when he wore John 3:16 on his eye black in the national championship game at the start of this year. On Jan 8, 2009, there were 94 million google searches for John 3:16, and as Christians and Gators we thought that was pretty ... Read Full Story

I have been a Florida Gator since I enrolled at the University of Florida back in 1965. Once you become a student, you become a lifelong member of the ‘Gator Nation’—- and proud of it, I might add! Well, the last 12 years have been a real ‘high’ for this Gator, since the Gator Football team has won three national championships (1996, 2006, 2008) and is set to do it again this year! I never would have believed it possible, but screaming during today’s televised games instantly brings back those Saturday afternoons in Gainesville, when it was sweltering in the stands, but we didn’t ...
