It's opening week of the college football season, so it's only right that we first pay tribute to defending national champion Florida. However, I have to admit, I cheated with this photo, which was going to be in my last book, "Where Football is King: A History of the SEC." Such is life. One of the most recognizable mascots in college athletics is Albert Gator, who has recently been joined at Florida by Alberta. There's even a statue of both in Gainesville.

I think you know I could have lived the rest of my life without seeing that ugly thing.
