Step 1: Start blog.
Step 2: Learn how to write.

Seems a little backwards to me.


Hounds, thread.
Thread, hounds.

 

[Angola!]

This is a joke, right?

 

[Trey Beamon]

Yeah, Hawai’i won't be nearly as good.

 

[Giggity]

Yeah, Hawai’i won't be nearly as good.

That's actually correct, at least among locals.

 

[OnTheRiver]

This is a joke, right?

The whole thing's a bit too well invested — site design, domain registration, etc. — to simply be a gag on us.

Somebody's ****ing serious.

Lesson One:

Also, what is 'and such'?

Methinks you know but don't want to let on.

Citizen journalism! BLOGS!

This one may be too much for the hounds.

That Gators logo license fee has been fully paid, right?

Hounds, thread.
Thread, hounds.

Another reverse order sequence that occurs often 'round here:

Step 1: Make breathlessly enthusiastic post on SportsJournalists.com announcing their arrival and their grand plans for fame, fortune, a fireplace mantle that can hold multiple Pulitzers

Step 2: Like maybe read a little bit about the site and gain a little insight into the sarcastic, smartass comments one is most likely to get from such introductory remarks.

Like walking into the lion's cage wearing a beef medallion necklace...

I liked that it was called a "Complete Breakdown".

Florida- They have gotten more experienced. Plain and simple.
Hawai’i- Colt Brennan is gone…..plain and simple

The word "complete" is suing for libel.

 

[poindexter]

I read the complete breakdown for the Florida-Hawaii game, as well as the volleyball and soccer previews, and the Olympic swimming summary. I think its fair to say that unless this blog starts showing tits, and lots of them, it may go down as the worst blog ever. Plain and simple.

Thinly-veiled attempt to increase blog traffic.

 

[SixToe]

Gators have tits?

I thought they just had a rough hide, claws and big teeth.

This is the best one so far...

This blog HAS to be a joke, right?

Hey, he says the key to winning is scoring, so he's got that nailed down.

The University Of Florida is known for two things. Championships education. And championship sport’s programs. While education is the main focus at the university; athletics isn’t far behind. And with great reason too. Whether it is football, basketball, softball, swimming, or volleyball; The University of Florida has vastly become a haven for student athletes to garner championships and accolades. Both on and of the field.

While the actions of the teams on the field and court are widely publicized, for obvious reasons, it is off the field and court where The Gators really like to shine. Most notably at the children’s hospital. Where the student athletes truly become champions. Week after week throughout the year different Gator sports teams take time to go and visit sick children and their families at Shands Children Hospital week after week you see the faces of children light up as their favorite team’s players come to visit them. Whether it be the most famous of Gator athletes such as Tim Tebow and Percy Harvin to the much lesser know athletes such as Lady Gator Tennis players Julia Cohen and Megan Alexander; the smiles always seem to be the same. And that is the goal. To brighten a child’s day with social interaction that doesn’t involve the words medicine or shot. To take a child’s mind off of nurses and doctor’s.

Even though these student athletes are extremely busy, they realize that it doesn’t take long to make a sick child and their family feel better. To make themselves feel better. Because even if it only lasts two minutes its great to know that it means the world to a sick child and his/her family to see that their favorite players from their favorite team aren’t to busy to come out and show support for them just like the children and their families show support for The Gators each and every time they step out onto the field or court. While it might take a trophy to declare you a champion; at The University of Florida it takes more then just sports.

I just read that ... thing. And whatever it is in my head that allows me to edit copy broke about a third of the way through.

I'm thinking about filing a lawsuit.

OK, in the event that this is real ... here are my editing suggestions:
