Um, go Florida. The entire city got tanked. ...And this is probably the only post I will ever make in the sports forums.
(But man, winning the basketball championship and the football championship, one right after the other? It's a shame the school is being wasted on non-spirited students like me.)

Ah haha I agree with pretty much every single thing you've said. I never thought of myself as a "spirited" student, but the athletics department, I must say, really earns the good rep for this season. I just hope they'll shut up about it eventually. To me, as a Fine Arts/Liberal Arts major (and we know how those schools are doing financially...-_-lll), the attention and overshadowing that the Athletics department gets/does over just about everything else even slightly commendable about the university is just darn stupid.
It's interesting how annoyingly unifying sports is. I never cared much for football, but mid-season (and thanks to one of my new roommates), I found myself caught in the excitement that built up in the city throughout the season and even watching a few games. Football, to me, is still an uninteresting sport, but I felt the slightest twinge of school pride for the first time ever last night when UF won. It'll go away soon enough. Go Gators for the time being and all. whee...
Jam it back in, in the dark.
