We're all Alabama fans for the next few weeks

I am an unabashed fan of the Gators of the University of Florida. I am a proud attendee of 6 entire weeks during the summer of 1985. I firmly believe every young man should spend a year in Gainesville. Good times, good times… Now, I live in Huntsville, AL. When people ask how I like [...]

Coach Urban Meyer: Dumb mistake, or something more?

Most people know I’m a Gator fan. I don’t pretend anything else. Now, we’re hearing reports that Urban Meyer contacted the girlfriend of a recruit, who is also a gymnast and probably a legitimate scholarship athlete herself, supposedly to recruit her with the idea that she and the football recruit would probably accept scholarships together. [...]

Tim Tebow Sweats Gatorade

From the Tim Tebow Facts website, some of my favorites: Tim Tebow invented black. In fact, he invented the entire spectrum of visible light. Except pink. Tom Cruise invented pink. Tim Tebow saved the manatees. Then he stiff armed them back on the endandered species list so they wouldnt get cocky. What color is Tim [...]

The obligatory Tebow girlfriend (not) post

It is obligatory these days when writing about Tim Tebow that one include a photo of him with his Heisman Trophy wife. I admit it. I am one jealous, fat, middle-aged man. So, anyway, congratulations to Tim Tebow of THE University of Florida. For a sophmore on a 3-loss team to win the Heisman, it’s [...]

Tebow for Heisman

Hey, the guy has made it tough for the Heisman voters, that’s for sure. They may not want to give it to a sophomore, but THAT’s the only reason they have at this point. Tonight’s game against FSU was pure artistry, 50+ TDs by any player is unheard of in a college season. I’m a [...]

7 Reasons Florida is Better Than Georgia

So, I had my Georgia post nearly done, so I’m posting it before I post my NC post – sue me! Anyhoo, the Florida-Georgia rivalry extends well beyond the football field, and despite the classless display by those dastardly Bulldogs in Jacksonville, whupping up on our beloved Gators then rubbing it in their faces like [...]

Thank you!

While I’m nowhere close to the traffic circles Mr. Fab, Colleen, and Kat run in, I’m happy with my little corner of the blogosphere at Florida Sun Dog. October was a great month, with 1600+ visits and 5600+ pageviews. While I didn’t post every day, I still managed to post 30 times so ‘yay me’. [...]

Scratch my nuts

Mr. Fab, can you account for your whereabouts on the day this video was taken? Can you imagine asking a Florida Highway Patrolman to scratch your nuts? I mean, after you’re in handcuffs?

No one under the age of 30 should be allowed to vote

From the Florida Times-Union in Jacksonville, where Recount, a movie about the 2000 election, is being filmed: OVERHEARD Don’t know much about recent history Two 20-somethings chatting in a San Marco bakery earlier this week. First guy: They’re filming some stuff for that HBO movie Recount today. Second guy: Yeah, I saw the crew working [...]

I remember when St. Augustine was cool

It was a while ago. A lifetime, really. Back when it was unique and had flavor. I even proposed to my wife in a lookout tower on top of the Castillo de San Marcos. A while back the local government passed an ordinance to get rid of sidewalk vendors and performance artists. Local businesses hated [...]
