"In light of an on-campus fight in Tallahassee involving Seminoles football players -- brought to you by the astute and well-groomed Andrew Carter on his Chopping Block blog -- Gators fans should know that the last on-campus brawl involving Florida football players was four years ago. You might have heard of the Zook Showdown at the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity house over an alleged fight between frat guys and football players. http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/football/sec/2004-10-13-zook-fraternity_x.htm .
"Nothing to my knowledge has happened since the Ron Zook incident," said Cpt. Jeff Holcomb, the public information officer for the University Police Department.
Holcomb told me that there haven't been any recent on-campus crimes this school year involving Gators football or basketball players. There are, of course, the frequent drinking-related arrests on game days by incoherent fans."

The latest on the nole - frat boys brawl: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/football/ncaa/11/13/fsu.fight.ap/index.html
These lines stand out: Florida State players become ineligible immediately if charged with a felony. Receiver Preston Parker missed the first two games this season as part of his punishment for an arrest earlier this year on drug and weapons charges. His felony weapons charge was reduced before he could regain his eligibility.
Bowden has already suspended key team members for the past three weeks for breaking team or school rules.
Bowden said he can't talk about Wednesday's altercation or possible discipline until after he learns what action, if any, university police will take after investigating.
The veteran coach said he wasn't sure of what action he would take if the police report is made public before Saturday's homecoming game against Boston College.
"I don't know," Bowden said Thursday. "I'd have to go talk to our athletic director."
You can bet your booty that Booby will be "praying for a misdemeanor".
