    GAINESVILLE, Fla. - Florida All-American guard Walter Clayton Jr. was cool-headed and in control on his way to a national championship, but the 22-year-old let the tears flow Wednesday night as his NBA dream became reality. In a head-spinning turn of events for one of the draft's fastest-rising players, Clayton was selected with the No. 18 pick by the Washington Wizards, who promptly traded Clayton to the Utah Jazz.

    GAINESVILLE - The fifth in a position-by-position preview of the Florida Gators football team leading up to SEC Media Days. TODAY: OFFENSIVE LINE What to expect Florida's offensive line features an All-American center, considerable experience and plenty of promise.

A lot of nice turns of phrase here by @BianchiWrites. My favorite: 'I miss the good ol’ days when we naively perceived college football as an amateur sport run by professionals. Now we see it for what it really it is: A professional sport run by amateurs.' 😆
