Tom Petty Interview
Tom Petty Interview 2
Tom Petty talking about Gainesville bar as inspiration for song
Tom Petty-Live from Gatorville Concert

He says Gainesville is home and he likes the Gators. He has a song called Gainesville He's worked on campus at UF and did a big concert in Gainesville with Stevie Nicks. He doesn't wear Gator jerseys and jorts because he's not a shithead but he's pretty clear about his connection to Gainesville and liking the Gators :dunno:

I don't want Mullen gone. I think he's a good coach but I do think he's extremely immature.

Why did he yell at Grantham during a game? Seemed like it was because the players were not in the right positions. Well, it kept happening throughout the rest of the season so why is Grantham still around?

I would do it only if you can't imagine doing anything else in your life but medicine. If it's purely for money it's not worth it.

If you applied already that's one huge burden out of the way.

If not, you would have to make sure to have all the prerequisites (Bio 1/2, Chem 1/2, BioChem, Orgo 1/2, Physics 1/2, Calc/Stats) and have a decent GPA in those courses. If the last time you saw these subjects were for pharmacy school decades ago you would have to refresh in order to take the MCAT. Then you need LOR, personal statement, all that.

Then med school. The curriculum for those accelerated programs is tough. Luckily they're transitioning Step 1 to P/F. But you'll have Step 2 CK, CS. You'll have clinicals...you are on the bottom of the totem pole. Surgical rotations where you'll be yelled at by scrub techs for not scrubbing in correctly, attendings who will keep you in the hospital for indefinite periods of time for no reason, writing long and tedious notes no one wants to read.

Then residency. You're pursuing FM so you'll be doing rotations in pediatrics, ICU, hospital wards, OB/GYN. You may be at a program where you have 28 hour call or NF. This is just some of what you'll experience.

I've seen pharmacy residents when doing residency. Some of them have gone on to specialize in critical care, oncology, transplant, ID, informatics, palliative care, research. Wouldn't it just be easier to pivot in one of these directions rather than going through medical school?

The Florida schools are just as guilty of courting out of state kids as the Alabama schools. My daughter's test scores and GPA are 98th percentile and we are Florida residents and UF and FSU haven't given her the time of day. She has received more mail/email from EVERY other SEC school and elite private schools like Chicago, Dartmouth, Duke, Wake Forest, Cornell, Brown, MIT, and Cal Tech than the 2 state schools in her own back yard. She's been accepted into Bama's honors college with a Presidential Scholarship, Tulane with a Founders Scholarship and an honors invite, Mercer with a Presidential, and she's waiting to hear from Vandy, UNC, and Miami.

UF may boast about their 20% admission rate, but it's a combination of not enough space combined with an exploding population and cherry picking out of state kids too.

---

That's absolutely not true. Florida doesn't court out of state students. They don't really court anybody because they don't have to. The demand is there without having to do so. Nationally, Florida has a very high in state admission rate and also rates high in admitting first generation college grads and the underserved in Florida. It also has one of the cheapest in state tuitions as well.

Why are you even humoring them at this point?

No minds will be changed. People will still be set in their ways. As you see in this thread, people would rather you and others like you not be in this country regardless of what contributions you make because you are not white.

That's not her girlfriend, that's Sue Bird. She's one of the best female basketball players of all time.

And this cover is old.

The Gators beat that arse and sent them fat ugly girls back to Hickville.

Come on...that's not true or necessary.

This game is going to age us.

You're not going to last in the world long if you get this upset about every perceived slight against you/your rooting interests.

Sucks that the dumb things said in the past can come up and bite you in the butt.

HOWEVER, a digital footprint is everlasting especially if it's a public tweet. He should have been smarter and deleted it much earlier. And honestly people need to be more thoughtful and less reflexive and impulsive. That flight attendant might be horrible but why do you feel the need to tweet about it? Or that you haven't had lunch?
