  • Excellent playing, Gators! Thank you for bringing home the National Championship Trophy!! GO GATORS!

  • Won by beating a defensive team by defense. It was anybody’s game at the end – 2 point lead – but rather than diminishing the win, it honors the quality of the opponent.

    Noted on TV last night: UF is the only school that has 3 football and 3 BB NCs. Also has a baseball NC, Women’s soccer, Softball, Gymnastics, Track, Swimming, Tennis, Golf, and maybe others.

    A live shot on TV last night showed the Empire State Building with it’s top lit with orange and blue lights.
