We have reached the middle of the week and on this Wednesday only the volleyball team is in action as it travels northwest to face its biggest in-state rival. Otherwise, it is the quiet before the storm this weekend when football welcomes the No. 1 team in the nation to the Swamp. In the meantime, here is the latest from around the Gator Nation.

The No. 14 volleyball team looks to get back on the winning path tonight in Tallahassee against the Florida State Seminoles. The Gators dropped a pair of matches to the then-No. 17 Baylor Bears last weekend to drop them out of the top 10 but holds a 43-20 series advantage over FSU, including a 15-10 record in Tallahassee, so there is a good chance for a rebound Wednesday night. First serve is scheduled for 6 p.m. EDT and can be watched on the ACC Network or heard on ESPN 98.1 FM/850 AM.
Around the Swamp
- No changes for Florida in CBS Sports power rankings heading into Week 3: The Gators still have a lot to figure out, particularly at the quarterback spot.
- Bradley Beal to serve as honorary “Mr. Two Bits” against Alabama: “I know the whole ‘Two Bits’ thing is an iconic deal, so when they asked it was pretty much a no-brainer for me,” Beal said.
- Florida handed Alabama one of its worst-ever defeats in 1991: Scores like that don’t happen often to the Crimson Tide.
- Behind Enemy Lines: Talking Florida-Alabama with Roll Tide Wire: We reached out to Stacey Blackwood of Roll Tide Wire to gauge his thoughts on the matchup with the Gators on Saturday
It's great to be a Florida Gator!
