UPDATE: Florida is out of the Lane Kiffin coaching sweepstakes; Could Tulane’s Jon Sumrall be next? #Gators

BREAKING: According to Zach Abolverdi of Gators Online/On3, Florida is no longer pursuing Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin.
Reports indicate that Florida is out of the running due to Kiffin's erratic behavior, and he has shown that he is pursuing other options. 🧵

2nd 15:58
UF 49 TCU 43
UF began their five-game road trip with a two-night stay in San Diego, and I think Thomas Haugh loves the West Coast. He showed that last year in March.
Down 29 to 27, Haugh lit the fuse and led the #Gators an 8-0 run. Haugh and Urban Klavzar with a game-tying 12 points.

I extend my gratitude to my fellow co-workers at TV20 and to yours.
Happy Thanksgiving to your family, friends, and those around the viewing area.

I play the role of "The Grinch" to the Lane Kiffin coaching carousel because, like Xmas for Whoville, it is all Noise. Noise. Noise. For now. #Gators #GatorsFootball #LaneKiffinGators #NextGatorHeadCoach

The #Gators end the regular season in style. After Ole Miss tied it at a set apiece, Florida won the final two sets and ended their three-match losing streak.
Aniya Madkin, Jordyn Byrd, and Jaela Auguste combined for 32 kills of the team's 51. Stucky & Parks with 45 assists.
Florida is 14-10.

FINAL
Gators 78, FSU 76
You can bring up all the stats you want, and it was not pretty. What matters in a UF-FSU showdown is who wins it in the end.

Thomas Haugh shot a team-high 20 points and 13 boards, earning another double-double, along with Rueben Chinyelu with 10 pts and 16 boards. #Gators

2nd 13:42. FSU 52 UF 49
Florida is having a rotten night from three-point land (3-20), they have turned it over 13 times, and still, they are in this ball game. Thomas Haugh is also putting on a show with a team-leading 16 points.
November 12, 2025 at 1:27 AM
Halftime. #Gators 55-20
The Gators started strong, scoring 55 points in the first half. Caterina Piatti added her first three-pointer as a Gator and led with seven rebounds.
Liv McGill continued to shine with 13 points while Laila Reynolds contributed eight points.
Stay tuned for the second half!

Move over, Darryl Strawberry! Pete Alonso is the new home run king of Mets history.

In the bottom of the third inning, the Gator baseball legend smashed his record-setting 253rd homer of his career against Braves pitcher Spencer Strider.

Congrats to the Polar Bear!

.#Gators Fall Camp Media Day. DL Tyreak Sapp, K Trey Smack.

Gators S&C coach Tyler Miles left the podium.

OC/TE coach Russ Callaway talked a lot about how each positional room is the deepest it has been in a while.

.#Gators Fall Camp Media Day.

DC Ron Roberts behind the mic talking about their defensive leaders like Sapp, Devin Moore came to mind. And ready to take the next step this season.

And talks about how this is the deepest LB room in a while for UF.

Happy Gilmore 2 is dumb, brainless and absurd. But its also tons of fun to watch. I love it when Sandler brings in cameos (Scheffler was hilarious) and gave us a nostalgic ride. Its not art, but its a fun sequel.

That’s all i wanted and it delivered. 👍👍

The #Gators baseball program obtains its fourth pitcher from the transfer portal. Sully and his staff bring in D2 Pitcher of the Year, Ernesto Lugo-Canchola. The Utah native recorded a nasty 2.00 ERA and chalked up over 100 strikeouts last season at Northwest Nazarene..
July 17, 2025 at 7:15 PM
In the bottom of the second, Gator great Jac Caglianone hits his first homer at home in Kauffman Stadium. He smashed it over 420 feet with his classic swing from his time at UF. He has three homers this year.
