Kentucky reveals uniform combo for Black Out game against Florida

Despite last week’s loss to Tennessee in Knoxville, there’s still plenty of momentum behind the Kentucky football program, as Will Stein‘s first season at the helm has been more than memorable.

Gainesville's Florida Theater eyes comeback amid rising construction costs

As Gainesville's live music scene continues to grow, longtime Gainesville music stakeholder Bill Bryson is betting the historic Florida Theater can become its next cornerstone. But while reconstruction is underway to reopen the century-old venue, how he will pay for the project remains uncertain amid rising costs and other financial challenges. Bryson hopes to reopen the concert venue at 233 W. University Ave. by 2028, its 100th anniversary. He purchased the theater in 2017, and its last event took place the following year. Bryson has been a major stakeholder in Gainesville's music scene for decades. In the 1990s, he owned The Covered Dish, which stood where the now-closed High Dive was later located. With the Florida Theater now under his ownership, Bryson told The Sun on Nov. 12 that restoring it will be a multimillion-dollar project. According to city records , the Gainesville City Commission voted Feb. 6 to add the Florida Theater to the Local Register of Historic Places, opening the door to grants, tax credits and other incentives. Bryson told The Sun in a previous interview in 2025 that throughout plans to renovate the future two-story venue, he has had to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic, rising labor and

Noah Doubt About It: Gainesville area FHSAA region quarterfinal HS football picks

The most wonderful time of the year is here. No, I don’t mean Christmas, even though the commercials have started and the displays in stores are up (that shouldn’t start until after Thanksgiving. It’s fall, not winter). I mean the FHSAA high school football postseason. Battles have been fought, and the war is over. The pretenders are gone. Only the contenders remain. Each week, the field will dwindle. As it begins, we stand at nine teams. Many are your usual suspects. Buchholz , Hawthorne and Columbia are each top two seeds in their respective regions and dream of the deep runs we’ve seen in years past. Others, such as Fort White, Santa Fe and Bradford aren’t state title contenders per se – but they are favorites and would like to secure a playoff win. Finally, for Williston, Chiefland and Palatka, the odds are stacked against them, but you really never know what can transpire in the postseason. That won’t stop me from predicting what I think will occur. Let’s pick all these games, shall we? In the last regular season games two weeks ago, Noah Doubt About It finished with a 7-5 (0.58) record for a 130-39 (0.77) mark so
