In this what have you done for me lately world we live in, everything is compared to those two glorious years. http://www.am850.com/commentary/archives/2010/03/what_is_the_future_of_gator_mens_basketball_1.asp http://www.am850.com/commentary/archives/2010/03/what_is_the_future_of_gator_mens_basketball_1.asp Steve Russell Mon, 08 Mar 2010 08:23:40 -0500 Circle the date of March 17th on your calendar. http://www.am850.com/commentary/archives/2010/02/can_tebow_effectively_change_his_throwing_motion.asp http://www.am850.com/commentary/archives/2010/02/can_tebow_effectively_change_his_throwing_motion.asp Steve Russell Mon, 22 Feb 2010 09:14:55 -0500 They may not always play pretty. They sometimes don't even play well. Sometimes they don't shoot very well. And sometimes you wonder how they're doing so well despite obvious flaws. http://www.am850.com/commentary/archives/2010/02/gator_basketball_teams_get_your_attention.asp http://www.am850.com/commentary/archives/2010/02/gator_basketball_teams_get_your_attention.asp Steve Russell Mon, 08 Feb 2010 08:56:22 -0500 As this is written, both University of Florida basketball teams are hovering around the .500 mark in SEC play and both teams have questions yet to answer. But despite some obvious weaknesses both these teams still can make the NCAA Tournament. http://www.am850.com/commentary/archives/2010/01/despite_deficiencies_hoop_teams_can_make_ncaa.asp http://www.am850.com/commentary/archives/2010/01/despite_deficiencies_hoop_teams_can_make_ncaa.asp Steve Russell Sat, 23 Jan 2010 12:05:25 -0500 Perhaps it was only fitting that the University of Florida football team got a huge win in the Sugar Bowl despite all the distractions thrown its way as the team prepared for the game. The win was dominant and the Bearcats were never in the game. http://www.am850.com/commentary/archives/2010/01/questions_now_start_for_gator_football_future.asp http://www.am850.com/commentary/archives/2010/01/questions_now_start_for_gator_football_future.asp Steve Russell Sat, 02 Jan 2010 08:26:40 -0500 A couple of years ago, then Gator men's basketball coach Billy Donovan made the announcement that he was leaving Gainesville to become the head coach of the NBA's Orlando Magic. http://www.am850.com/commentary/archives/2009/12/meyer_pulls_a_billy_and_stays_on_as_coach.asp http://www.am850.com/commentary/archives/2009/12/meyer_pulls_a_billy_and_stays_on_as_coach.asp Steve Russell Sun, 27 Dec 2009 17:37:49 -0500 Isn't the Christmas season supposed to be a time of joy and happiness?

Florida won its 20th straight game 24-14 last Saturday but it sure wasn't easy. http://www.am850.com/commentary/archives/2009/11/gator_defense_once_again_rises_to_the_occasion.asp http://www.am850.com/commentary/archives/2009/11/gator_defense_once_again_rises_to_the_occasion.asp Steve Russell Sat, 14 Nov 2009 19:12:48 -0500
