It really is a lot of fun to do, you know? I grew up during the development of the UT-UF rivalry in the '90s, a painful time for most of us. I hated watching us get smoked by the likes of Shane Matthews, Danny Wuerffel, Doug Johnson, the Bachelor, etc. On top of all the pain associated with losing, I hated those games because they gave Spurrier a chance to make some snide remark and get away with it....

Paddy Considine is quoted as saying “this isn’t some half-arsed actor wanking off in a band” and the EP suggests he’s telling the truth. He was first in a band in Burton-on-Trent with the Leisure Society’s Nick Hemming, Shane Matthews and Rich Eaton and now he and Eaton are two-fifths of Riding The Low, inspired by his love of Guided By Voices. So not only is he one of...

Hello USC fans, i am a Florida resident living 25 min from Gainesville, I grew up a die hard Florida Gator, i used to go to the games and dream of the days that i would be catching passes in Steves Fun n Gun Offense. Well i ended up on defense and Florida never came calling, not much need for a 5'11 195 Linebacker in Gainesville. But hey i went to alabama instead, ended up at safety, what can i say,...

by Jay Mariotti Filed under: NFL CHICAGO -- From the outside, Soldier Field is an architectural abomination, resembling an alien spaceship that nose-dived and crashed into the Parthenon. Rather than preserve the Greco-Roman tradition with a retro look, designers wrapped a new stadium around the old one, figuring green glass somehow would mesh with classic Doric columns. It's hideous. "The Eyesore...

If you want to be critical of a player on our team or a coach on our team you can buy a ticket for seat 37F, you’re not welcome back in the football office. You’re either a Gator or you’re...

For the first time since Jesse Palmer made a desperate attention grab on the show, ABC’s “The Bachelor” is back on my radar screen. But thankfully, not because of another Spurrier-enabled, pseudo-celebrity. (Danny Wuerffel & Shane Matthews were late cancels.) This time, one of the prospective females in what is now season 13(!) of the show [...]

Matthews: "I totally disagree with that statement. This has nothing to do with the 1990s although I think we all wish it was the 1990s again with the way the economy is right now. The economy was much better in the 90s. (Editor's note: Matthews agrees the SEC has changed since the 90s but says you still have to exploit a defense's weaknesses). "If we had lost to Ole Miss 31-30 and exploited...
