Marc's Gator Desktop Pics

I feel that it would be a disservice to everyone if I didn't assemble some great University of Florida stuff right here. Of course, this page is always a work in progress. As I get more stuff, I will put it up here. Now for the legal stuff: This page is in no way affiliated with the University of Florida. Use of official logos does not imply official acceptance from the University. Now that is done, Go Gators!

Fun with Internet Search Engines

A few months back, we were searching Excite.com's search engine for "arrest records for seminole county, florida" - of course, the first link that popped up was FSUSports.com. While it's no surprise that a search for arrest records would bring up articles about the Florida State football program, I thought you would all enjoy to see the proof.

Note: FSUSports.com appears to have disappeared. Oh well... ;)

The Great #7

Sports Illustrated CoverI was fortunate enough to have a friend in a class with Danny Wuerffel my freshman year at Florida. Because of that, I was able to get his autograph on the September 25, 1995 issue of Sports Illustrated.

What a great game! If I recall correctly, SI had planned to put Peyton Manning on the cover, but changed to Danny after his performance against the Vols. Tennessee took an impressive 30-14 lead and then the deluge of points and rain began. Going on a 48-0 run in the second half, Florida marched on to a 62-37 victory.

In this game, Danny...

  • threw for 381 yards
  • threw an amazing 74.4% completion percentage, 29 for 39
  • scored 7 touchdowns: 6 thrown, one run in

Campus Pictures

The pictures in this section were taken by me on several occasions on campus. Click the thumbnails below for the full sized pictures which in 1024x768 resolution. Or select the desired resolution for the image in that size. Note: to maintain the high quality of the originals, the size of these files are fairly large, ranging from 100k to 450k (depending on the resolution chosen). My apologies to modem users. All photographs are © 2000, 2001 and 2002 and may be used for private use. For any other use, please email me.

Currently, the campus photos section is broken up into three areas:

Links

Before I let you go, it might be better if I directed you towards other great sites where you can get more desktop pictures/wallpaper:

  • Gatorzone.com (5 pics) - the official home of the Gators currently has five desktop pics -- the Gator Head logo and the "House of Horrors" logo for basketball, two featuring the dominance of Florida football, and one which is a replica of the 2002 season's poster. Available in resolutions ranging from 640x480 to 1280x1024. Screensavers are also available there.
  • UF Alumni Association (12 pics) - featuring campus stills and seasonal calendar pics. Six new pictures featuring the 2002 football schedule. Available in resolutions ranging from 640x480 to 1280x1024.
  • GatorSports.com (117 pics) - the home of the Gainesville Sun's coverage of the Gators. All pictures appear to be in 1024x768. They are constantly updating and moving their galleries so if any of these links become outdated, look around their site and see if you can re-find them. There are currently nine galleries featuring several Gator sports:
