Help Stop the Genocide in Darfur
"Few will have the greatness to bend history; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation ... It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is thus shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."
~Robert Kennedy, 1925-1968
Change is coming ...

"As far as stadiums go, 'The Swamp' - with the sound of delirious fans raining down nonstop on an opponent - is as intimidating as they come."
~Beano Cook, Football News
"There is no better place than 'The Swamp'. That opening on the big screen with the alligators, it's the best ever. When the Gators run out of the tunnel, it is absolutely the moment of moments in college football."
~Lee Corso, ESPNCollege, Football Analyst
