A look back at Florida’s 1993 SEC Championship team: I haven’t been linking this over the course of this week because I wanted to link it all in one post. And now I have! (Chris Harry, Florida Gators: Part One | Two | Three | Four | Five)

Tim Tebow gives back in Gainesville: Early this week, I had a PR rep email me about getting a chance to interview Tebow at this event — but because I don’t live in Gainesville, I couldn’t. If you’re a Gainesville resident or UF student, that could’ve been you — and it’s another reason to come write for Alligator Army. (Chris Harry, Florida Gators)
