I did a story in Thursday’s paper about the Florida football team partnering with the African American Accountability Alliance of Alachua County to form a mentoring program for at-risk black male middle school students.
Due to space limitations, I did not have an opportunity to name all 15 Florida players who are involved in the program.

Here are the Gators who are trying to be a positive influence on these young kids by taking on …

Look out, Tiger, there might be a Timmy on your tail.
Because no one on the PGA Tour seems to want to take on Tiger Woods, we’ve come up with a candidate who we know won’t back down.
