    Ok, I have to post this one also from a Florida paper.

    It's Great To Be A Florida Gator

    Don't shoot me, I'm bragging a bit, but these two articles also touch on more than Sports at UF.

    "With the University of Georgia, Florida shares the Southeastern Conference's most stringent requirements for its student-athletes. The Gators use a model developed by an economics professor to forecast whether a student is likely to maintain a “C” average in college. The scale examines all college-prep high school courses, usually 16 to 20; the league permits schools to include only the top 14.

    Still, the school has won the SEC's all-sports title 16 of the past 19 seasons and finished in the top 10 nationally every year since 1984.

    And Florida has the fourth-most academic All-Americans since 1992 among all Division I institutions with 63."

    Impressive stuff Bill.

    Doing all that Florida has done on the field and on the court AND in the classroom at the same time.

    Great articles and yes...IT's GREAT...TO..BE...A...F-L-O-R-I-D-A GATOR!
