Jacksonville has a new men’s and women’s pro soccer team
Merry Christmas everyone! This week, I’m going to be pushing out some articles related to the growth of women’s soccer in Florida (Florida State just won its fourth NCAA women’s title). Each of these articles first appeared on The Florida Soccer Report. Today we start with the announcement of Sporting JAX from two weeks ago. […]
Timucan- Theodore Roosevelt Area
We look around the Theodore Roosevelt Area of the Timucuan National Ecological and Historic Preserve in Duval County.
Florida State wins fourth soccer national title in ten years – the impact on Florida soccer
Florida State beat Stanford 5-1 in Cary, NC on Monday night, to win a championship capping an unbeaten season. It is Florida State’s 4th title in 10 seasons (and I’d argue two of best FSU teams in that run didn’t win the title) and demonstrated once again FSU not the University of North Carolina (which […]
Florida College Hoops update post “Feast Week”
“Feast Week” has ended and Florida schools are looking perhaps better than expected early in the season.
Men’s Basketball preview: The rest of the state
A quick look at the schools who aren’t in power five conferences (outside FAU who we did a full preview of due to their status nationally). Bethune-Cookman A lack of depth probably dooms any real chance for improvement this season. Keep an eye of Zion Harmon, a potential SWAC player of the year. Florida A&M […]
Florida State Men’s Basketball preview
Florida State were probably consistently the best team in the ACC from 2017 through 2021 (Virginia has an argument but I opt for FSU). The bad news is part of that period coincided with Covid which curtailed the Seminoles otherwise excellent chances of winning titles in 2020 and 2021. While the Seminoles have beaten in-state […]
Florida Gators men’s basketball preview
Year one of the Todd Golden era in Gainesville didn’t go according to plan. After a whirlwind media tour where Golden professed confidence in the roster he built, the Gators struggled to score for much of the season and limped their way to a 16-17 season and a first round exit from the NIT. The losing […]
UCF Men’s Basketball preview
UCF enters the Big 12, which last season was probably the country’s best conference. For a university with the nation’s second-largest undergraduate enrollment sitting in the middle of a huge TV market, this is an incredible opportunity. Johnny Dawkins team last season scrapped and fought in the American but fell short too many times, and […]
ACC Media Day press “gaggle” with Miami Head Coach Jim Larrañaga
Our friend Neil Blackmon attended the ACC Media Day and provided us with this incredible discussion where Coach Larrañaga not only discusses the coming season and the recent success of his Miami program, but the importance of better non-conference scheduling for ACC schools.
Miami Men’s Basketball Preview
Only one men’s program has made the NCAA Elite 8 each of the past two seasons – incredibly that program is Miami, who despite having some very solid teams through the years (including teams that won the Big East and the ACC) had never been past the Sweet 16 previously. It’s no fluke either as […]
