With the eyes of the college baseball world trained squarely on Gainesville and the top 10 showdown, the Gators delivered a knockout blow to Vanderbilt last weekend, sweeping the Commodores with relative ease and reminding everyone why they are a force to be reckoned with.

On today’s show, host Adam Schick gathers FloridaGators.com senior writers Scott Carter and Chris Harry and “The Voice of the Gators” Sean Kelley for a roundtable discussing baseball’s dominant performance, the work left to do for their NCAA resume, softball’s unusual road to Oklahoma City, a heartbreaking finish for lacrosse, the end of the line for tennis and athletes that didn’t pan out as broadcasters in the PAT (1:55).

Then, softball’s SEC Player of the Year Skylar Wallace stops by to discuss her record-breaking season, the fever dream that convinced her to transfer to Florida and much more (27:22).

Episode 28 features a Gator legend and perhaps one in the making. Sean Kelley visits with College Football Hall of Famer, Carlos Alvarez.  "The Cuban Comet" still holds the Gators all-time record for receiving yards and is the subject of a re-launched documentary about his career at Florida, his successful professional life in Law, and his on-going role as an activist. 
 
Kelley then heads to the softball diamond to meet freshman pitcher Keegan Rothrock. Rothrock is off to a fast start and is a part of Gator Softball's explosive start to the 2024 season. Florida student Kenna McGinnis also appears with her "Kenna On Campus" report.
