On Saturday morning at the gym I was thinking about how the first item in this column should be about the Super Bowl instead of Florida basketball. Then, they announced that Alijah Martin was out. Then they started by falling down 10 points.
So, it was all playing out. And then Florida outscored Auburn over the next 20 minutes. And by these guys, I mean the program as a whole. This was the trainer and assistant coaches and massage therapists and Duke Werner and student managers and all of the dudes wearing white quarter-zips.
That was a show. Anyway, the Gator Nation should be proud of a team that is one of five in the history of basketball to beat a No. Before I go any further and talk about what happened Sunday, I want to talk about what happened earlier in the weekend. I was able to cover several of those, but Mary Wise was more than a coach. She could not have been better to the media and she was also a friend. You know, we probably should have seen this Super Bowl result coming.
The Chiefs ran out of breaks and played against the best roster in football — put together by a UF grad. For the most part, the Super Bowl was Eagles domination followed by commercials where you had to guess what they were for and what they were selling.
Football wanted the last game of the year the UFL? It was a rough Friday night for the gymnastics team at Arkansas with two falls on the beam contributing mightily to the final score. But it was a great weekend for the softball team as it started the season Florida has outscored its opponents and now comes home to flex at Katie Seashole Pressly Stadium for the week starting Tuesday against Jax at 6.
