The giant whiff of air you felt last night might have been the summer storm passing through, or it might have been the Gator bats in Omaha coming up short in the second loss in three days.  In all fairness, the Gator baseball team (47-17) was brought down to earth by sloppy pitching that allowed 19 runs and 32 hits; and that was in just two CWS appearances.  What made this loss worse is that Florida lost to their in-state nemesis for the fourth time in five games this season.  Kevin O’Sullivan brings him team back to Gainesville today winners of the SEC East, another CWS appearance, but watching the CWS from TV and not in a dugout.  The Gators look toward 2011 with a young team with a great recruiting class coming for the upcoming season.  Looking forward to next baseball season,  the Gators will be returning 13 players and keeping the young pitching talent in Gainesville.

So now we look to August….57 days and counting.

To what you ask?  The football team shows up and we begin to count the days to the first game, the first tailgate party.  Are we going to see kirk Herbstreit and Lee Corso on campus this fall?  Will John Brantley break out of Tim Tebow’s shadow and lead this team to an SEC East title…. All questions that will be answered after the dog days of summer.
