I hope that everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving Feasts. Big final game of the season for my undefeated Florida Gators. Every year, no matter what Florida State’s record may be, the Gators must take them very seriously. This will be a good battle in preparation of what should be an amazing SEC Championship game. I will be up in New Jersey for the Princeton Sports Symposium next weekend, but on that Saturday, the northerners will definitely be seeing my orange and blue. I ran a 5k race this past Sunday for my girlfriend’s Pre-Med society, and somehow came in 3rd place out of 100+ runners. I ran 3.1 miles in 23:53, which I hear is pretty good, especially for someone who has not run in over a month (I’ve had pain in my left leg). I’m done bragging. Here are some stories I missed over the past week:
