A few thoughts to jump start your Thursday morning:
Riley Kugel put his name in the transfer portal Wednesday. It wasn’t exactly unexpected as his playing time and productivity diminished in the final month of the season to the point Kugel didn’t even play in Florida’s win over Texas A&M and championship game loss to Auburn in the SEC Tournament.
For reasons that perhaps only Riley Kugel and Todd Golden know for sure, there were issues. On the court, Kugel was wildly inconsistent although he had the ability to take games over at either end. Fingers have been pointed at Kugel for ..read more

Back in the day when he was an All-American linebacker for the Gators, Mike Peterson could be counted on to hit hard and put opponents on the ground. He was one of the surest tacklers on some of the stingiest defenses of the Steve Spurrier era at the University of Florida. He parlayed those skills into a 13-year career in the National Football League playing for the Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars and Atlanta Falcons.
Perhaps it was because he was such an efficient tackler both in college and the pros that watching the Florida defense the last two years has been agonizing. Mis ..read more

A few thoughts to jump start your Tuesday morning:
Even though he’s no longer officially with the team and prepping for the National Football League Draft, Ricky Pearsall still feels the need to contribute to the Florida Gators.
“I went to their practice two days ago, I believe, and I was just watching Tre Wilson out there at work,” Pearsall said last Thursday at Florida’s Pro Day. “He’s gonna be amazing this year. I'm super excited to watch him work. I've been texting him throughout this time, just giving him feedback. I still got some of the passcodes here so I'm spying a little bit ..read more

A few thoughts to jump start your Monday morning:
Mark Twain is often credited as having said, “Better to keep your mouth shut and have people think you’re stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.” He didn’t say it, but that doesn’t make the saying any less true.
LSU fans probably should have kept their mouths shut Sunday afternoon.
They spent their Sunday at Alex Box Stadium trying to make life miserable for Florida’s Jac Caglianone, perhaps taking a page from Tennessee fans who last season harassed Caglianone into a bad day on the mound. A year ago, Caglianone’s emotions c ..read more

In a night that needed 9.9 scores only 5 routines outside of Leanne Wong (hit 3 of 4) made that mark.
LSU ruled the night, capturing or tying for all four apparatus winners with number one in the nation gymnast Haleigh Bryant capturing the all around, with a score of 39.80

Jac Caglianone hit a 2-run homer in the top of the 11th inning Saturday evening to lead the 6th-ranked Gators (13-9, 3-2 SEC) to a 6-4 win over 5th-ranked LSU (19-5, 2-3 SEC) before a crowd of 12,892 at Alex Box Stadium. Caglianone’s 10th homer of the season followed a 1-out single to right field by Ty Evans, his third hit of the game.
“They tried to throw a fastball by him (Caglianone) and he jumped all over it,” Florida coach Kevin O’Sullivan explained. The homer was the third of the week for Caglianone.
Florida trailed LSU 4-2 heading into the eighth, but a leado ..read more
