Gator Tales with Sean Kelley

It was a breezy Senior Day for the Orange & Blue, with Chauncey Gardner-Johnson's six second pick-six setting the tone as Florida overwhelmed Idaho 63-10. Now everyone's attention is squarely on the final game of the regular season, with the Gators hoping they can be thankful for a streak-snapping victory in Tallahassee. On today's show, host Adam Schick welcomes FloridaGators.com senior writers S...

The Gators proved themselves to the naysayers while Feleipe Franks literally shushed his critics in a 17-point comeback over South Carolina last Saturday. The late stage revival made Florida just the 4th SEC team to have multiple comebacks of 17 points or more in the last 15 years. Now as they turn the page to Senior Day in The Swamp, the Gators are hoping for a strong performance out of the gates...

On today's show, we'll discuss the fallout from Homecoming (1:14), the start of basketball season (13:46) and the dominance of Alabama in t...

The Gators found a few more tricks than treats in Jacksonville, as critical turnovers led to Florida's first loss since September 8th.

On today's show, we'll recap Florida/Georgia (1:38), preview t...

It's always one of the most unique rivalry games in college football, and this year it's a top-10 showdown for the first time in a decade. The stakes are sky high for Florida/Georgia, with this year's version serving as an eliminator of sorts for both the SEC East and the College Football Playoff. On today's show, we'll hand out midseason superlatives and dive into this week's matchups with Florid...

Sometimes you win even when you don't follow the plan to win- and discover more about yourself in the process.

On today's show, we'll recap the Gators 5th straight win as they hit the bye (1:17) and get an update on basketball's p...

As the saying goes, in The Swamp, only Gators get out alive. LSU learned that the hard way last weekend as Florida reestablished their home-field advantage with a 27-19 win in front of a raucous sell-out crowd. Now their challenge is to keep the momentum alive as they hit the road for the third time in the last four weeks. On today's show, we'll discuss the rebirth of The Swamp and look ahead to V...

The Gators bounced back big against Colorado State last week, proving that sometimes it pays to be “special” in a 48-10 victory. The often forgotten third phase of the game took center stage last Saturday, as Florida used two blocked kicks and an electric punt return to further ignite the Swamp on a day that the thermometer displayed a record 96 degrees at kickoff. On today's show, host Adam Schic...

Dan Mullen himself said that “The Streak” was bound to end eventually, but few expected it to reach its conclusion this past weekend in The Swamp. Kentucky overwhelmed the Gators with a relentless rushing attack that kept the defense on the field and exposed many of the challenges that the new staff has in turning around the program. On today's show, host Adam Schick breaks down what went wrong ag...

There were plenty of fireworks in the highly-anticipated season opener for the Orange and Blue, as the Dan Mullen era got off to a rousing start in a 53-6 pummeling of Charleston Southern.

On today's show, host Adam Schick talks about that epic blast and what awaits the Gators in Omaha with FloridaGators.com senior writer Scott Carter (1:04). Plus, Adam...

This past weekend saw one season end while another was taken to the brink, with softball bowing out of the WCWS at the same time that baseball was braving the weather and a couple of in-state foes hoping to take out the top seed. On today's show, we'll start by hearing the unlikely success story of baseball's overnight sensation Jonah Girand (1:12). Plus, host Adam Schick goes in-depth on super re...
