Or you can just watch the usual circle of jerks do their usual idiot things on a thread that they have NO interest in...
I wonder (not really) which jerk has added his usual unneeded stupidity to this thread this time?
The SWAMP has been drained. The next step is to turn it into something useful, like a parking lot for the Basketball and Baseball seasons...

Gator soccer team underachieved this year, at least according to their normal standards. Finished 3rd in the SEC regular season and beat by Texas A&M in the SEC tournament semifinals. Maybe they can get on a run in the upcoming NCAA tournament and make some waves.
Volleyball team is 20-1, ranked #4 in the country and is tied with Kentucky for 1st place in the SEC, having split the season series with them. They have a real chance to make a run at the national title.
Basketball team is getting cranked up and could have a really nice season.

Just in case it hasn't registered on everyone, the Gators have gone to the Elite-8 in 5 of the last 7 years.
It seems to me that UF has gone from being a football school, to a basketball school, IF you are judging by the levels of accomplishment since 2009....
SG/PG KeVaughn Allen's Pre-Season Recognitions:
1st Team All SEC
Jerry West Watch List
Oscar Robertson Watch List (B-Ball Heisman)
~ Allen has played PG in both exhibition games for the injured Sr PG Cheezzee.
===========
Another Florida volleyball honor
ESPNW named Florida senior outside hitter Carli Snyder its National Volleyball Player of the Week on Tuesday. Snyder recorded 27 kills, 21 digs and 6 blocks in the Gators’ two three-game sweeps last week @ No. 6 Kentucky and Tennessee.

#4 Gator Volleyball 22-1, 14-1 SEC blast Mizzou 3-1 on Senior Day.
The win puts UF a half game ahead of UK in the SEC race.
Most know about the power hitters that the Gator have, but don't know about their defense.

All 11 Lady Gators scored and presented new Women's B-Ball Head CoachCam Newbauer with his 1st win in his coaching debut. UF 82 - 66 GaSt.

The No. 3 regional seed Gators soccer team defeated Washington State, 1-0, in double overtime to advance to the quarterfinal round of the NCAA Tournament. Freshman Deanne Rose scored the game-winner in the 104th minute with a 6-yard strike. Florida will face South Carolina for one of four spots in the College Cup.
The soccer team underachieved a little this year compared to their normal high standards, finishing 3rd in the SEC during the regular season and getting beat in the conference tournament semifinals. However, having made it to the Sweet 16 before getting bounced 3 straight years in the NCAA tournament, UF finally broke through to the Elite 8 this year and will meet South Carolina in Columbia Friday at 6 pm for the right to go to the Final 4.
Meanwhile the #3 volleyball team (23-1) needs to beat Auburn at home on Wednesday and at Missouri Saturday to assure themselves of their 23rd SEC title. If Kentucky wins out they would tie Florida with 1 conference loss each. Missouri is the 3rd best team in the SEC, so the last game will be a tough one for the Gators, but Mary Wise has put together another quality team that can challenge for a national title. On top of that they just signed 4 players to come aboard next year, including 1 player ranked in the Top 60 and 3 in the Top 25, including the #1 ranked high school player in the nation, Thayer Hall from Spartanburg, S.C.

Insta - I watched the match on SEC+. I've watched over half the soccer matches this year and probably 2/3 of the volleyball matches. When not on regular TV I try to catch them on SEC+. Fun stuff.Yep, doing super in both soccer and volleyball. Lovin' IT!

I used to be a regular for volleyball games in the old O'Dome. Not so much anymore. IF I could teleport into the games I'd go, but the rigga-marole of getting there and then getting back home is a pain in my old azz now days.
And I have a Gator-Goal Soccer T that they threw out to the crowd at the games when they scored. I had it signed by the National Championship team and coaches at the post season celebration. A prized Gator memorabilia that's in my extensive collection.

Volleyball will definitely be a Top 4 seed, meaning they will host until the Final 4. They have earned it this year and have a legit shot to win Mary Wise's 1st national title. Penn St. is #1, Minnesota and Stanford are both great and Nebraska is excellent, as is Kentucky and Texas. But the Gators are in the mix.
Soccer fell in the Elite 8 Friday at South Carolina 2-0. And the Men's basketball team plays #1 Duke tonight in the finals of the PK80 Tournament, Motion Division, in Portland, Oregon. North Carolina & Michigan St. play in the other final. Gators are a fun team to watch this year, but may have their hands full with the Dookies.

Volleyball -- Yeee HAW!
Soccer -- Aw shucks... -- but they still had a very good season.
Basketball -- Coach K is busy telling his troops that UF could be a hand full.
The nice thing is this, win or lose, the Gators are very likely a Dance team, and after that, you win 6 in a row and you're the NC. Lose one and you go home. I like their chances. At least another Elite-8 appearance or I'd be very disappointed in them, barring a rash of injuries.
I agree whole heartedly that they are at least real FUN to watch!

The Gator Volleyball team is a #2 SEED Overall. Florida will host NCAA Tournament matches each of the next two weekends.

Insta I can’t find anything about if they are going to be televised or not… Donyou have any info?
I haven't looked it up yet, but all of those tourney game should be on SEC Network or ESPN. They are usually on.
I don't see the TV schedules yet, but here is a place to keep checking.

Not posted yet, but I doubt the 1st 2 rounds will be on TV anywhere except SEC+. The Final 4 is always carried on the ESPN stations, but the volleyball tournament doesn't get the coverage it deserves. Maybe this year they'll carry more of the earlier rounds, but don't count on it. I'm resigned to watching it on my computer screen via the WatchESPN app. That's how I watched the Gator soccer team in the NCAA tourney, even the Elite 8 match with the Gamecocks.
Sad but true ocala, I keep on wishing that they would cover the other sports a bit better, especially the NCAA Tourneys....

Do what I did and purchase a Roku then set it up to your wireless install the ESPN app then off you go watching it on your TV.
Yeah, my son's already offered to do that for me. But I've got a nice big LCD monitor for my desktop and get a nice picture there.
UF's volleyball team advanced to the Sweet 16 tonight, winning a tough match against Miami 25-12, 19-25, 25-11, 25-23. They will host the Regional Finals next weekend, with the favorites to join them being #15 UCLA, who they would play first, then the winner of #7 Minnesota & #10 Southern Cal. Those teams haven't earned their way in yet, but are the seeded teams in their part of the bracket.
The UCLA/UF volleyball match is being televised on ESPNU Friday, 12/8 at 4 pm.
