Orange Update: Gators (and more) Edition Monday, March 27, 2006
Posted by V.Jay Kendall in Orange Update, Sports.trackback
The week after Spring Break has been good, and the new study regimen I decided to follow is proving to be somewhat useful. I have not been blogging lately, and I apologize, but I have been using any spare time to read my favorite blogs I love to visit. A vacation of some sorts from posting in my blog. I must say though, I kind of missed blogging so here I am… its only an update, but it’s better than nothing, right?
- To begin the update, I am so happy that the University of Florida has made it to the Final Four of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. For those of you that do not remember me mentioning, or never knew. I am planning on transferring to the University of Florida after finishing junior college. UF has been considered a Football school, especially during the Steve Spurrier era of Gator Football. After Spurrier retired from coaching duties, the football program has been in a downfall that began with Ron Zook as the new coach. Hopefully with Urban Meyer, the replacement of the complacent Zook, UF will continue the winning Tradition with the 100th anniversary of Gator Football. Anyways, back to basketball, UF may also be considered as a great “basketball” college with the promising young team Gator Men’s basketball coach Billy Donovan built.
George Mason University, the big Cinderella team of the year, will be the next obstacle Florida will face… Go Gators!
- I have not seen the female president drama Commander in Chief in a while. Geena Davis has done a great job portraying the first female president in the fictional TV show, airing on ABC. Davis even won an award for the part, and there are also other great actors that make up the cast of Commander in Chief. Including the very handsome and good looking son of the President, played by Matt Lanter. Known to many ladies and gay guys as a contestant in Manhunt, Bravo’s reality TV show.
Matt Lanter is the one on the far leftThe latest word is that there might be some conflicts behind the scenes and that the producer/director of ‘Commander‘ is busy shooting a pilot for another show. What a bummer, this show had a potential of becoming the replacement of NBC’s The West Wing. What a shame.
- I have been tagged by Brad with his “X-rated” adult survey, so look out for that soon. Hopefully by tomorrow or Wednesday.

Hey V. J.
Welcome back from your physical vacation and your virtual vacation. Ha Ha. I hope you enjoyed your reading.
I can’t really comment on The University of Florida as a sports institute, but its got a decent reputation as a academic institure as well. I hope its a great transition for you.
Commander In Chief was a great show. I’ve always been a fan of Geena Davis since BeetleJuice…I know…I’m ready for the cyber-bitch-slab. LOL She’s had some amazing films that didn’t get their due credit. And some decent TV series that just didnt get off the ground either. I still think The Long Kiss Goodnight was one of her best movies.
Kinda on the same topic, did you like the WB’s series, Jack and BObby? I thought that was so underrated. A great cast, and god story-lines. It could’ve gone so far.
Have a great week, bud.
ps, your answers await.
congrats 2 your gators hope they when it all.
Im rooting for the Gators to win. Their coach Billy Donavon use to coach for Marshall a school in WV so I hope he wins it all.
Funny. I used to watch EVERY sport when I was younger. But there are only two I care about anymore and that is the NFL and the Dallas Cowboys first and foremost. I have been the hardest of hard core fans of this team and the NFL for longer than I care to remember. And the other being NASCAR. Everything else I pretty much watch as playoffs roll around.
Cant wait to see you answer the questions hehehe!

It is true that UF has an extensive reputation as a great academic institution, I feel bummed I left that part out but I wanted to focus more on the sports. You did prove a good point.
–>>Mike:
I never knew that he coached at Marshall, but he did for a couple of years. I did not even know Marshall was in WV. Thanks for the comment, now I know there is other universities beside the great West Virginia University.
–>>Brad:
The COWBOYS??? I’ll live thinking that you are a Cowboys fan, I dont hate them anyways. Its a lot better than being a Patriots fan or worse… a Jets fan! I mostly watch playoff rounds and championshps when it comes to all other sports like the World Cup of soccer and the Stanley Cup.
I’m rooting for UCLA. I actually want UCLA and UF in the finals!
I am decent follower of all Pac-10 teams. USC, UCLA, Cal, ASU, Oregon… I love all of them even though a few are heated rivals, but I don’t care because the colleges are too far away to be rivals of an East coast school, like UF.
I hope its UF and UCLA in the finals! I don’t want LSU to advance (SEC rival to the Gators). Of course UF will win it all, but we gotta beat George Mason University first.
