December 2, 2017 College Sports in Florida

Saturday, 2 a.m. It’s a bowl game. It’s a big deal, really? Come on, guys. It’ll be fun. Really. They’ll give us watches! They’ll feed us steaks! You can understand, of course, if the prospect of the 36th straight bowl game has lost a little luster for the FSU Seminoles. After all, the Seminoles have […]

Wednesday, 4 a.m. You are Dan Mullen, Boss Gator. And where do you start? You are Mullen, the guy who finally didn’t say no. Chip Kelly is off trying to spell UCLA. Scott Frost will soon be trying to make Nebraska relevant again. But you are here, and as unimpressed as some may be with […]

October 18, 2017 College Sports in Florida

Wednesday, 3 a.m. The big guys have turned into little guys. The little guys have become big. Footballs now come with training wheels attached. The world is upside down.

The Predictions: USF should score with ease

October 13, 2017 College Sports in Florida

By now, you know how this works. The USF Bulls will spend the first quarter driving head coach Charlie Strong crazy. Quarterback Quinton Flowers will be wild-high in the second quarter.

Missed extra point dooms Gators vs. LSU

October 8, 2017 College Sports in Florida

Saturday, 3 a.m. It’s a sandwich play. You know, a bathroom play. A let-the-cat out play. A take-a-break-from-the-game play. Usually, you don’t even think about an extra point. It’s a short putt.

Will this be the year that Miami finally beats FSU?

October 5, 2017 College Sports in Florida

Thursday, 2 a.m. How much does it matter who a team has played? Answer that, and perhaps you can guess who will win Saturday’s game between Miami and FSU. Miami, for intance, is 3-0.
