Alligator Army, a Florida Gators community

The NCAA Baseball Tournament begins today. Here's a preview of the Gainesville Regional, featuring Florida, Miami, Jacksonville, and Manhattan.

Pregame preview for the 4th ranked Florida Gators versus the 17th ranked Arkansas Razorbacks in college baseball.

It was interesting at the end, but Florida was knocked out of the College World Series today by Florida State, losing 8-5. In their two games in Omaha, UF was outscored 19-8.

The Gators could be two-and-out in Omaha. Following their 11-3 loss to UCLA Saturday to open the College World Series, the Gators (47-16) face FSU today in an elimination game. FSU (47-19) lost to TCU 8-1 also on Saturday.

Florida has never won a baseball National Championship. Tonight, they begin that quest, playing UCLA at 7pm in Omaha.

The Gators continue to find ways to win. Saturday night in Gainesville, it was forcing Miami into making plays and the Canes spectacularly failed, giving the Gators a 4-3 win and Super Regional series sweep. The two game sweep sends the Gators to their first College World Series since 2005. The victory followed UF's 7-2 win Friday night in Game 1.

Who is standing between the Gators and a trip to the College World Series? Those bastards from Miami.

The Gators pounded FAU 15-0 for a sweep of the Gainesville Regional in the NCAA Baseball Tournament. The No. 3 Gators (45-15) will await the winner of Miami-Texas A&M in the Coral Gables Regional.

Tonight the Gators face Bethune-Cookman at 7pm in their opener of the NCAA Baseball Regionals. The Gators (42-15) are the overall No. 3 seed in the tournament.
