Gators Slip Into 2010 NCAA Tournament Bracket

Gator Tailgating Sun, 03/14/2010 - 8:39pm

Put away the home whites! Dan Werner's last home game really was on Senior Night! No more NIT! The Gators are in! Thank you God! Thank You! That's the only explanation I can come up with. The Gators are going to the Big Dance!

Mississippi State was flat out robbed. In what has to be one of the worst snubs in NCAA history, Mississippi State is off to the NIT. That is a joke. Did the committee watch any of the SEC Tournament? They must've. They gave Kentucky a #1 seed. Can you not find a spot for the team that had them beat? Read More »

Following him for some holes, thoughts went through my mind as to how I might attract his glance.

Playing with K.J. Choi only increased the size of the gallery even though it was only a practice round.

But surely he'd know. We shared something in common. Would he notice? Or was I just looking for a way to get some attention.

These and more raced through my head on that day in 2005. Read More »

Gator Baseball's Fontana Earns SEC Freshman of the Week

Gator Tailgating Mon, 03/15/2010 - 8:08am

Nolan Fontana, what took you so long to get here?

Last year, he was the guy who got to live the baseball dream, facing a 3-2 pitch in the last inning, two outs in the 6A-District 4 title game. What he proceeded to do was tattoo a walk off homer in his last at bat for West Orange High School, something Coach O’Sullivan hoped to bring to the Gators this season when he was so aggressively pursuing him last year. His senior season in high school, Fontana brought a .521 batting average in the lead off spot, has one career error in 25 games, and is widely known for a Tebowesque work ethic.
