GatorNotes
Saurian Sagacity has done an excellent statistical analysis of college football to produce a list of the top ten teams of the decade. Miami’s 2001 squad ranks first, but Florida’s 06 and 08 teams both make the list. “New rule; if I have to look up your mascot, you’re not beating Florida in Gainesville. (In… Read more »
GatorNotes
The main difference between college ball and the NFL is that in college, every game matters.

The Casual Fan’s Guide to College Football in 2009 The Greatest Gators, by jersey number There is no rivalry between Florida and Ohio State, and there (probably) never will be.

Gators BCS Championship Gear
To celebrate the Florida Gators third BCS Championship, I headed to the fantastic FootballFanatics.com site and purchased a 2006 / 2008 hat combo pack and a couple of t-shirts. I guess they still had a bunch of 2006 hats in stock and were trying to get rid of them; you really can’t beat $34.99 for… Read more »
