At times, the new ball coach at the University of Florida treated Tennessee the same way one of the old ball coaches around here used to. For a while, the Gators made it look easy, running here and throwing there while bringing back memories from another era of Florida football.

Training camp opens today, and the next best thing to seeing Steven Stamkos still in a Lightning uniform is seeing a healthy Steven Stamkos, writes Joe Henderson.
I have some bad news for our friends from Canada. I saw Steven Stamkos with my own eyes at the Lightning's informal practice session a couple of days ago. He was on the ice, skating away, getting ready for the season. He was in the locker room afterward, a happy 21-year-old, enjoying the company of his teammates.
When the obituary is written on the Tampa Bay Rays' season, it will say they died from multiple Oriole wounds, Joe Henderson writes.
We have seen this before from the University of South Florida football team. The Bulls have been known to be September wonders, working their way into the rankings only to figure out what they were doing right and correct it. If you've followed the Bulls over the years, you know what I'm talking about.

The Buccaneers' effort to improve the "fan experience" at Raymond James Stadium worked smashingly well Sunday on the opening day of the National Football League season, right up until the moment the game actually started.
You know all those things that were supposed to be better with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this season?
To fully understand Lee Roy Selmon, you have to know where he came from. And for that, we drive two hours from Oklahoma City to a place called Eufaula, a village of about 3,500 souls, bordering a large lake in east central Oklahoma.
TAMPA The Buccaneers' playoff drive didn't officially end that December day last season when they were beaten at Raymond James Stadium by the Detroit Lions. It just seemed that way.
But the Buccaneers Hall of Fame defensive end refused to disclose the condition publicly.
I remember trying to stifle a laugh a year ago when Raheem Morris said the season for the Buccaneers would be a race to 10 wins. It seemed ridiculous. I was more successful at keeping a poker face than some of my colleagues, but of course we soon learned the laugh was on the doubters.
Lee Roy Selmon has been in this community for 35 years, a familiar and public figure from both the football field with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and later as a key member of the athletics department at the University of South Florida.
TAMPA Frank Okam might be the most interesting man in the Buccaneers' locker room.
About 18 months ago we began a project here that became known as Broken Bucs.
John Brantley has been a good soldier during his time with the Florida Gators, but that hasn't gotten him much. At this stage of his career, you'd think Florida would see Brantley as the answer to what the Gators need.
While you were sleeping, five other college athletic programs were placed on probation. That's an exaggeration, I think, but maybe not. The University of Central Florida just hit the daily double — official NCAA letters of inquiry for alleged misdeeds in its football and men's basketball programs.
It would be foolish to base any judgment about the Buccaneers on the outcome of one exhibition game. I would have said the same thing if they had been the ones administering the beating Thursday night instead of receiving a thorough 31-14 squishing from the New England Patriots.
It's not just a Tampa problem, writes Joe Henderson. Why does the NFL continue preseason business as usual despite stadiums full of empty seats?
The scandals rocking intercollegiate sports in the past few months apparently were just the warm-up acts. We give you now the main event.
Jim Thome, who hit his 600th career home run on Monday, has never been linked to anything but hard work and dedication, writes Joe Henderson.
Josh Freeman does more than compare himself to Brady, Manning and the other top quarterbacks. He works at it, writes Joe Henderson.
Near the end of his media briefing Friday to kick off the start of fall practice, Will Muschamp was asked about the University of Florida's ranking in the preseason coaches' poll.
That was a dandy afternoon of baseball Thursday at Tropicana Field.
