This is the most humiliating performance from the Florida #Gators football team that can be recalled.

Every position has failed. Can't throw, catch, tackle, kick, punt, receive a kick, cover, rush the passer ... nothing.

Tennessee opens with a nine-play, 75-yard TD drive in which it gained yards on every touch.

#Gators defense basically nonexistent.

The Swamp is loud. Didn't matter.

Shumard oak is a native tree ideal for urban landscapes. It tolerates drought, compacted soils, air pollution and poor drainage. And after providing shade in the summer, its leaves turn a burnished reddish-orange in fall. More on Shumard oak at UF/IFAS Gardening Solutions: buff.ly/tgWwvPk

Good people can still be found in Florida (Volusia)
The thought of so many people going without food inspired one woman in Volusia County to open up a food pantry for her community.
