Yeah, the offseason is in full effect 
For UF, it's probably Century Tower, which honors those who lost their lives during WWI & WWII.
Fun Fact: There are 61 total bells inside the tower, with the largest bell being 6 feet in diameter & weighing 7,000 lbs.
And yes, I took these pictures with my crappy, old arse, 5.0 megapixel digital camera
P.S. football stadiums do not count

Probably Capstone, with her revolving restaurant, "Top of Carolina."
The University Restaurant that revolves, USC's "Top of Carolina" on The Capstone.

On UA's campus you'll see a discolored smokestack building, it's actually kind of an eyesore. But the reason it's there is because it is the only building that survives from before the Civil War, during which the Yankees burned down Alabama's campus.

Obviously the grove and you could add the lyceum.

For Ole Miss I'd say the Lyceum or Ventress Hall but since others have posted that I'll do something else ...
The only/largest legal pot field on a US college campus
Medical marijuana

I went to Gator Growl in 1984 where Bob Hope and Mariah Carey performed.
Bob Hope's best joke (so he thought) - Everytime a virgin graduates from UF, a brick falls out of Century Tower -- glad to see you guys are keeping the tower looking good... har de har.
Then Maria Carey got up and lip synced one of her songs and something happened with the audio and the audience figured out she was lip syncing.. The rough crowd at UF boo'd her and she ran off the stage crying. Bob Hope had to hug her and encourage her to finish her performance. I laughed.

Memorial Hall- Built in 1929 as a memorial to those who died during WWI. Has a pretty cool mural inside of it as well. Depicts early scenes from central Kentucky history.

Belltowers shouldnt count because nearly every university has em. Most are hard to distinguish from one another.

I'm not sure but it could be my biceps. Just a guess though. Or one of my old blow straws
