I have a daughter who is a dorm resident at the University of Florida. During home-game weekends, she is forced to move her car by 5 p.m. Friday to a very remote parking area to allow game attendees to park close to the stadium. Attempting to visit her on a weekday requires a drive-by pick-up as there is only 45-minute parking available within a 20-minute walk to her dorm. ...more

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers turned back the clock Friday, a day ahead of when they were to open training camp for the upcoming football season. Four current players donned throwback jerseys from the team's inaugural season in 1976, when the Bucs went 0-14 and often were the laughingstock of the league. The orange jerseys will be worn during the Nov. 8 home game against Green Bay. Training camp kicks off today with two practices - one at 10:15 a.m. at One Buc Place that only fans with tickets can attend and then a 6:45 p.m. practice at Raymond James Stadium for which no ticket is required. ...more
