Steve Spurrier — the new Head Ball Coach of Orlando’s new professional team in the Alliance of American Football — says he doesn’t think former UCF star Shaquem Griffin will get cut by the NFL’s Seattle Seahawks, but if it happens Spurrier says, Griffin would likely be his team’s first draft pick.

A bad wheel was not going to cost Chase Elliott the pole position at Daytona International Speedway.

Despite nursing a right-ankle sprain, Elliott and his Chevrolet Camaro were uncatchable Friday evening during qualifying for Saturday night’s Coke Zero Sugar 400. His time of 46.381 was nearly .25...

The scene from Austin Dillon’s rear-view mirror was a thing of beauty.

The sight in front of the 27-year-old — one of Daytona 500 victory — was even sweeter.

Darrell Wallace Jr. will share the responsibility for the decline in NASCAR’s popularity.

The 24-year-old African-American seemed poised to become one of the sport’s...

Former UF pitcher Brady Singer is well known for his competitive nature. The Kansas City Royals are, in part, banking on that side of the Eustis native going forward.

lorida’s offense was filled with pop-ups early Thursday. Starting pitcher Jack Leftwich was giving up hits. Second baseman Blake Reese missed a ground ball hit right at him. Late in the game, the bullpen couldn’t throw strikes.

No problem.

The No. 1 Gators shook off a slow start, and a shaky finish,...

And now the hard part.

Florida’s pitching situation at the College World Series is muddled, much like the weather. Coach Kevin O’Sullivan has relied on first-round picks Brady Singer and Jackson Kowar for much of season, but now must turn to two freshmen.

Jack Leftwich (4-5, 4.32 ERA) will likely...

The feeling of dread lingered for much of Tuesday in Omaha, either among those watching the radar or Florida fans hoping to extend their stay.

The Gators finally broke through, and pitcher Jackson Kowar had a career day, in Florida’s 6-1 win against Texas at the College World Series. Texas (42-23)...

Nick Horvath knows the end is near, though he’s trying his hardest not to think about it.

JJ Schwarz hit three home runs Friday. All came in batting practice at TD Ameritrade Park, so they counted for nothing, but they were significant news for the injured Florida senior as the No. 1 Gators (47-19) prepared for their opening College World Series game Sunday against Texas Tech (44-18).

Auburn robbed Austin Langworthy twice.

The third time, the Florida Gators' sophomore wanted to leave nothing to chance.

It was coming down to the wire. There was still a chance.

UF track and field coach Mike Holloway was feeling the pressure, big time.

“I’ve never been so nervous in my life,” he says now. “Never.”

Winning championships at a remarkable clip has been an all-consuming process where success breeds success.

When UF coach Tim Walton arrived in Gainesville in 2006, the Gators’ softball program was an afterthought.

Thirteen years later, Walton’s program is a two-time national champion, an SEC heavyweight and a Women’s College World Series regular.

The run of success is unlikely to end anytime soon now...
