Gator Tales #143: Gator Roundtable & LS Ryan Farr Oct 18, 2018

Show notes

Sometimes you win even when you don't follow the plan to win- and discover more about yourself in the process. The Gators fell behind early in Nashville but stayed the course to collect their biggest road comeback in school history, rallying from 18 down to claim a 37-27 victory. On today's show, we'll recap the Gators 5th straight win as they hit the bye (1:17) and get an update on basketball's preparation for tip-off (16:02) in our roundtable discussion with FloridaGators.com senior writers Scott Carter and Chris Harry. Plus, senior Ryan Farr shares how a Las Vegas native ended up following the less than glamorous route of becoming a long snapper and the stories behind the viral videos that have made the specialists the court jesters of the team (24:28).

Gator Tales #142: "Are the Gators Back?" & TE Lucas Krull Oct 11, 2018

Show notes

As the saying goes, in The Swamp, only Gators get out alive. LSU learned that the hard way last weekend as Florida reestablished their home-field advantage with a 27-19 win in front of a raucous sell-out crowd. Now their challenge is to keep the momentum alive as they hit the road for the third time in the last four weeks. On today's show, we'll discuss the rebirth of The Swamp and look ahead to Vanderbilt with FloridaGators.com senior writers Scott Carter and Chris Harry (1:14). Plus, fresh off his role in Florida's latest game-changing trick play, TE Lucas Krull shares his unique journey from JUCO pitcher to major college football player (26:28).

Gator Tales #141: Swamp Talk & ATH Kadarius Toney Oct 04, 2018

Show notes

While the cowbells were deafening at times throughout the night, the sound that most will remember from Florida's gritty win over Mississippi State is the thud generated when Donovan Stiner exploded through the line to sack Nick Fitzgerald on 4th down. On today's show, host Adam Schick discusses the keys to the upset and looks ahead to a massive game against LSU with FloridaGators.com senior writers Scott Carter and Chris Harry (1:15). Plus, Adam talks to sophomore Kadarius Toney about his versatile role on the squad and which teammate he would surprisingly fear in a foot race (24:14).

Gator Tales #139: Gator Roundtable & WR Van Jefferson Sep 20, 2018

Show notes

The Gators bounced back big against Colorado State last week, proving that sometimes it pays to be “special” in a 48-10 victory. The often forgotten third phase of the game took center stage last Saturday, as Florida used two blocked kicks and an electric punt return to further ignite the Swamp on a day that the thermometer displayed a record 96 degrees at kickoff. On today's show, host Adam Schick recaps that performance and looks toward the upcoming challenge on Rocky Top with FloridaGators.com senior writers Scott Carter and Chris Harry (1:11). Then, Adam chats with WR Van Jefferson about being the son of an NFL coach and his long road to becoming a Gator (27:50).

Gator Tales #138: Football Chat & TE Moral Stephens Sep 13, 2018

Show notes

Dan Mullen himself said that “The Streak” was bound to end eventually, but few expected it to reach its conclusion this past weekend in The Swamp. Kentucky overwhelmed the Gators with a relentless rushing attack that kept the defense on the field and exposed many of the challenges that the new staff has in turning around the program. On today's show, host Adam Schick breaks down what went wrong against the Wildcats and how the Gators plan to bounce back with FloridaGators.com senior writers Scott Carter and Chris Harry (1:10). Then, Adam chats with redshirt-senior Moral Stephens about his first career touchdown and the keys to thriving under three different coaching staffs (26:23).

Show notes

There were plenty of fireworks in the highly-anticipated season opener for the Orange and Blue, as the Dan Mullen era got off to a rousing start in a 53-6 pummeling of Charleston Southern. The Gators are hoping that the energy and momentum generated in The Swamp keep rolling for another week, as Florida is preparing to put its astonishing 31-game winning streak on the line against Kentucky. On top of that, the 1993 SEC Championship squad will be honored on the 25th anniversary of their wild season that started a remarkable run of four straight conference crowns. On today's show, host Adam Schick reminisces about the record-breaking 1993 team and “Doering's Got A Touchdown” with Hall of Fame WR Chris Doering (1:18).

Gator Tales #135: Year in Review with AD Scott Stricklin Jun 28, 2018

Show notes

It's been a phenomenal athletic year filled with incredible moments on and off the field, from walk-offs and Hail Mary's to inspiring stories like those of Randy Russell and Lauren Evans that we have told on this very podcast. But with baseball's exit from Omaha, we officially closed the book on the 2017-2018 athletic year, and now it's time to reflect. As we found out last summer, the best way to do that is by sitting down with athletic director Scott Stricklin to review it all in our season finale. Now wrapping up his first complete season at the helm, host Adam Schick spoke to Scott about his experience in Omaha and the uniqueness of the CWS (1:47), the remarkable success of the overall program (5:35), major coaching developments from this year (7:04), the latest updates on the various facility projects (15:34), Dan Mullen's first 7 months on the job (19:27), the addition of Jay Jacobs to his executive staff (21:02), his favorite moments from this season (23:14), how he filters through his Twitter mentions (27:36), his views on the expansion of replay in college athletics (29:27) and his summer plans (32:09).
