I had noted that the Tampa club wasn't as active as I thought it would be (or had been in the past). I didn't realize the UFAA had throttled the clubs so much - that also explains why there aren't as many speakers, etc. Thanks all for the explanation! On Thu, Apr 11, 2013 at 9:57 PM, Tracy Gill

I've heard the same thing about the Charlotte County Gator Club where my parents are still involved in what is left of the club. My problem with tickets is for games like Toledo and Georgia Southern and Vandy (2-3 games/yr) where if some of my family can't attend and I have extra tickets, anyon

Yeah, it didn't make me happy to share that information, but the reporter was a friend of a friend, and I just didn't want to be made out to be some fair weather fan. And I really would rather just give tickets away to those crummy games to good Gator fans than sell them at a loss to some stranger

I can only speak for the Jacksonville Gator Club. When I was on the Board of the Jax Gator Club in the mid-80s we had to raise some significant money.the UAA required us to pay for the Cheerleader accommodations if we wanted them Thursday night for the pep rally, we also had to pay to feed the

Same here. I am only 30 minutes north of Jax in Callahan and last fall when we were renovating our house, I was hoping to be able to listen to the games while I worked on the house. Unfortunately, I couldn't pull a station in so I recorded them and watched them that night. Randy From: gatortalk

All of that makes perfect sense, but then to apply that sense to the voters in the polls would just be silly.  I was merely explaining what most of the voters were thinking.  They looked at simple facts and applied it to their ballots.   They didn't follow Georgetown and UF all year.  They didn't

Ditto. We used to have great FM coverage here. Now the "Gator Network" is on a small AM station located near downtown Tally. The signal barely reaches out 5 miles and if it's a night game you get nothing-zip. I've taken to slowly searching the AM and FM band with my old "dial" radio looking for

On a somewhat related topic. Apparently the Gator radio network is not what it once was. A couple of years ago we were watching the Dawgs and Gators with the Palm Beach Gator club and decided to head back to Port St Lucie a little early. It was nearly impossible to find a radio broadcast of the

Similar though not so drastic effect here as well. The majority of the 15-20k of scholarship dollars we give away each year comes from the annual golf event followed by the Gathering. We have had zip from the athletic department or alumni. Nada BUT---We do get Pat Dooley every year and that pull

Spurrier was great going to the Gator clubs around the state, but he didn't like doing it. The contract between the UAA and the head ball coach (Spurrier and his successors) substantially reduced the number of Gator Club appearances the head coach is required to make.

We've not received any honorable guests here in over 2 years. Unless you're counting Pat Dooley. No offense, Pat does a great job, but we haven't had a Gator coach show up for any Gator Club functions in years. Seems to me the Spurrier made it to Tally regularly to speak AND play in our golf tou

I watched Georgetown and UF all year. There is no question that UF would have won that game and made round of 8. I also believe that we match up better with Kansas than Michigan, and may well have made the Final Four. Anyone who claims it was the upsets is putting a lot of weight on the fact th
