Camilo Villegas: A Gator First; Golfer Second

Gator Tailgating Rusty Wed, 03/10/2010 - 10:23am

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

Fontana

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. Read More »

Gator Baseball Drops to FSU

Adams

So, we’ve learned that we don’t like Steinbrenner or his field.

The historic Florida baseball classic of the future, the Florida Four, old Yankee George’s new tournament to get the top collegiate baseball teams together in his house, took place in Tampa on Tuesday.

The Gators, hot during their third consecutive 5-0 start under O’Sullivan, went as cold as the frigid Florida wind against FSU, giving up as many runs in the first inning (7) as they’ve scored in all their first innings combined this season (again…7). There was no rally, no comeback, no last second almost (though that last gasp win strategy hasn’t worked out too well lately for the men’s basketball team anyway) and the Gators come back north today with a 10-5 loss (to the #3 team) and a win-loss that doesn’t look so unbalanced, unfortunately.

Gators Have Difficult Task with Vandy and Kentucky Ahead

Dan Warner

First let me state that the Florida Gators, in
my opinion, have already done enough to make the NCAA Tournament field
this year. 20 wins, including victories over Florida State, Michigan
State, NC State, Mississippi State, South Carolina, Ole Miss, and
Tennessee should be enough.

However, not knowing ahead of time what upsets there may be in the
conference tournaments that may knock a Kentucky or a Duke from the
automatic to the at-large status, Florida needs to win one more game
this week to go into the SEC Tournament without a worry. Read More »
