Greatest Gators of All Time? The Debate Starts Now.

May 13, 2026

This summer, WRUF is settling it.

Starting Thursday at 2 p.m., Jeremy St. Louis, Kevin Winter, and Shemar Woods count down the 35 greatest athletes in University of Florida history live, one Thursday at a time, across seven consecutive weeks.

Every sport, every era, no holds barred.


WHAT TO EXPECT EACH THURSDAY

Every 60-minute show runs four segments: the weekly countdown reveal with listener texts and YouTube live chat, a one-on-one interview with a Gators legend, the Bracket Report with live results from the Greatest Gators Moments vote and open phones for you to call in.

THE GREATEST GATORS MOMENTS BRACKET

Running alongside the countdown all summer is the Greatest Gators Moments Bracket in a listener-voted competition to crown the single greatest moment in UF athletics history. Sixteen all-time moments seeded and bracketed. The bracket is revealed one quadrant at a time each Thursday.

You vote. Results announced live on air. Champion revealed on the July 2 finale.
