Bulls come from behind to top high-powered Tech

September 9, 2018 College Sports in Florida

Sunday, 4 a.m. When the smoke had cleared, when someone had finally turned off the scoreboard before it exploded, when the yardage had been chewed up by the acre, there was one question to ask about USF’s latest football game.

State roundup: What has happened to Florida?

September 9, 2018 College Sports in Florida

Sunday, 3:30 a.m. Samford? No, not Stanford. Samford. Yep, the raging Bulldogs, a 33-point underdog, played FSU to the last heartbeat Saturday night before losing, 36-26.

Remembering Burt, and that wonderful interview

September 7, 2018 College Sports in Florida

Friday, 3 a.m. When the interview was over, when his tears had stopped and his laughter, I came to this conclusion about Burt Reynolds. The thing that made him a star, I thought, was that he didn’t act like one. He was Burt. He was the old FSU running back. He was the guy who […]

Looking back at the weekend’s college football

September 5, 2018 College Sports in Florida

5 Observations 1. Give Florida the weekend victory. They weren’t as ambitious in their scheduling as Miami or FSU, but they did everything they were supposed to do in their victory over Charleston Southern. They should have won big, and they won big.

Barnett sizzles in first start for USF

September 2, 2018 College Sports in Florida

Sunday, 3:30 a.m. For so  long , he waited. For so many miles, he had wondered. For an eternity, it seemed, Blake Barnett waited for college football to come to him.

Mullen’s opener makes Gator fans smile

September 2, 2018 College football

Sunday, 2 a.m. Bigger tests await. Better opponents. Enemy stadiums. Bad calls and pesky turnovers, rough afternoons and tough opposing coaches. Harsh weather and disagreeable referees.

Will the Final Four ever disappoint fans?

March 15, 2018 College Sports in Florida

Thursday, 4 a.m. Apologies to J. Edgar Hoover and his lovely red gown, but the FBI can’t stop the Final Four. Rick Pitino and his ladies of the night can’t stop the Final Four.
