Sumrall was right back at it Sunday, piecing together a staff and chasing NIL deals like a man working through the pain.

After setting a pick for Boogie Fland, Condon drifted right at the top of the key where he got a return pass. He was wide open, plenty of time to load up a 3-pointer. Colgate’s Andrew Alekseyenko made a token effort to get a hand in Condon’s face.   Basically, Colgate was conceding the

Jon Sumrall’s tenure as Tulane’s head football coach came to abrupt end Saturday afternoon at the hands of Ole Miss, 41-10, in Oxford. It was the second time the two teams had met and the outcome was similar. Ole Miss won the first game , 45-10, but that was when Lane Kiffin was the Rebels’ head coach and Sumrall wasn’t even on the Florida coaching radar.   After dealing with the death and funeral of his father and Christmas, Sumrall will be completing his coaching staff, dea

 Florida football is not falling apart. It is just the first poor soul to go through airport security in this new era of college football, taking off its shoes and belt while everyone else in the SEC is still standing in line pretending nothing is wrong,

Micah Handlogten finishes with a dunk (UAA Photo) The Gators (7-4) won a nothing to prove game at the O-Dome Wednesday night. Beating Saint Francis was almost a given, the final margin 102-61 irrelevant. Had Todd Golden played his starters more – none of them played more than 25 minutes – it would have been dial-a-score. To the announced crowd of 9,023 and perhaps the starters watching the last minutes from the bench the most exciting moment came with 42 seconds left when Oli

Xaivian Lee scored 44 points in two games last week (UAA Photo) The next three games – all of them played in the friendly confines of the O-Dome – won’t test 23 rd -ranked Florida but it will give Todd Golden a chance to get on a winning roll prior to the opening of Southeastern Conference play at Missouri on January 3. The Gators (6-4) have played one of the toughest schedules in the country. They’ve lost to No. 1 Arizona, No. 3 Duke and No. 5 UConn by a combined 11 points a

(Photo by Chris Spears) Transfers. We knew there would be some as soon as Florida dismissed Billy Napier. We knew there would be more whether the new coach was Lane Kiffin or the eventual new coach, Jon Sumrall. And now, the door to the Heavener Center has begun to revolve and we can only guess how many will elect to seek newer, greener pastures and how many will elect to give the new coach a shot.   You almost wouldn’t know it by the reactions to the announcement that quarte

Lagway arrived with the kind of fanfare that used to make college football seem like Christmas morning in Gainesville.

Xaivian Lee loads up a 3-point shot in the first half against GW (UAA Communications photo) SUNRISE –  Todd Golden has this unwritten rule that there are no apologies necessary whenever the Gators win a basketball game by 10 or more points, no matter the opponent. So, no apologies were forthcoming after 18 th -ranked Florida (6-4) played well enough to knock off the George Washington Revolutionaries (8-4), 80-70, in the annual Orange Bowl Classic at Amerand Bank Arena.    “As

And maybe that’s what had gone missing since Urban Meyer: That sharp sense of immediacy. That notion that this Saturday matters — and if there isn’t a game, well, let’s go find one.

One solution would be to expand the playoffs and utilize more of the bowls as second-round games.
