I think it would be a privilege to play in Tampa, period, with the Florida State fan base and everything I have been involved with in the state of Florida.

I am thrilled to return as Honorary Captain of the GREEKs for HBCUs Team.

Florida will be gone altogether, the whole damned place, in not too long.
Florida, bro. It’s different.
Whenever I tell people in Berkeley, Calif., where I live, that I’m headed to the beach in Alabama, they are shocked. Most people outside of the Gulf Coast have no idea that Alabama has beaches – even though if you look at a map of Alabama, there is a part of it that looks as if it should belong to Florida.
Rubio rode his skill as a high school quarterback to college in Florida, followed by law school.

I had an upright – it took me years and years to get enough bread to get it. I’m from Florida, so one morning I woke up, go in the corner, and the bass is in a hundred pieces ’cause the humidity is so bad. I mean, the upright just blew up. I said, ‘Forget it, man. I can’t afford this anymore.’
I am absolutely convinced that Florida will become the most exciting place in the world to live and work.

I’m from Florida, which I consider more southern. You cannot put Florida in the same category as California or New York.

I learned from watching Florida Georgia Line every night. The energy that they possess on stage, that’s something that I wanted in my show.

I feel great about the boxing in South Florida.
I moved from Kentucky to Miramar, Florida, at about 8. I think I was in second grade. I still had my Southern accent, and down there, you got to experience a melting pot in full fury. All the kids I hung out with were, like, Sicilian kids from Jersey and New York.
I like North Florida because it’s much wilder than the rest of the state.
Honestly, I just kind of play ball. I guess I’m pretty good in the state of Florida.
I grew up in a retirement community in Florida.

So here we are, just two months away from the election, with more and more examples that modern day Jim Crowe laws are alive and well in the state of Florida.
