OT: Florida player sings alma mater all alone after sugar bowl

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaaf-dr-saturday/lone-florida-player-stay...

Darrin Kitchens was the only player to stick around after the loss. He didn't even play in the game.

Are you fairly new to the blog? 

1.  The "OT" moniker means "off-topic" and is used to warn the reader that the thread contains material that is not specifically Michigan sports related material.

2.  Football season has officially ended so many of the threads created are going to be considered "off-topic" until the fall.

3.  I think most people would be interested in reading about this in case they missed it and, having to do with college football in general, the moderators would likely always let this kind of stuff stand absent extraordinary circumstances.

but especially the third point. Even in on topic season, this wouldn't get taken down on a normal weekday during business hours; it's a feel good story about college athletics. If that's out of bounds to post, what do we have?

Unless someone wants to start making a ton more threads on WBB, wrestling, M/W gymnastics, and M/W swimming and diving to go along with the decent amount of hockey coverage and ton of content about MBB, there's going to be room for these kinds of threads on the board. By Brian's own guidelines, this is a more on topic post than anything on the Lions, Pistons, Red Wings or Tigers.

An excellent gesture of team spirit and leadership on Kitchens' part, and he didn't even need to play in the game to make a statement. It is a shame that no one else on the Gators' roster has that much team pride, from the look of things. Props and much respect to him.
