    SAN ANTONIO — In the moment the Florida Gators stepped to the Alamadome podium for their coronation, it was Will Richard who held the national championship in his arms and rocked it like a baby.

Enjoyed seeing my @Yankees last night against the @Orioles at Camden Yards. Didn't enjoy nearly getting run over by an @AcademyBus while walking to the parking lot post game. A bus driver doing 35 MPH on the Hamburg St bridge thru a group of fans ? That's crazy work. https://t.co/xGRy07HlmZ
