I read Tom McEwen starting when I first arrived in Florida and became a Gator fan in 1969. Living in the Tampa area we saw and heard a lot from Tom. Sad to see him go. There was a very nice article I saw yesterday which was written by his counterpart from the St. Pete Times Hubert Mizell. He compared Tom to the greatest sportswriters of all time and I would agree.

When UF won it's first nc in football in1996 I remember his articles from the Tampa Tribune being some of the most insightful. He was the writer who described friends going out to the cemetery to read the news to Gators who had died before seeing us win one. I'm sorry to see him go.
