The Back Nine comes at you after a weekend of disappointment for Gator sports, but I always remind myself that when it’s a great weekend another bad one could be looming. Yes, I am too negative. And there were some good things that happened.    10. Let’s start out with …

This has not been the year we expected from the Florida basketball team and there are plenty of reasons (not excuses) for it. But this isn’t about that. This is about how it can happen at a lot of places. Gosh, we just recently saw Kentucky have its worst season …

The Back Nine comes at you after a very low-key weekend because a sinus infection laid Dr. Football low. Fortunately, there was plenty of stuff to watch.   10. One of those things I did not want to watch was Florida’s basketball game against Arkansas. It was pretty clear and …

10. We kind of saw it coming. If you have watched Kansas State at all this year, you know that it is a team that is more than Keyontae Johnson. He is the lift in the shoes that could get the Wildcats deep in the tournament, but that is a …

10. Certainly, Saturday night’s basketball win over Mississippi State was a big one. But let’s face it – the season is about to be defined. In the first place, there is no guarantee that the Bulldogs will still be a top 75 team at season’s end which would qualify as …
