Chances for UF's football team becoming king of the East Coast are dwindling. Chances of being named National Champions are more then slim.

The recent homecoming win against Vanderbilt has been a boost to a deflated ego, but even rabid fans can concede that losses to Auburn, LSU, and Georgia have not helped this season.

However, student's should not think so pessimistically; why should school pride and celebration be limited to basketball and football? What about celebrating when UF's chess team corners a rival school's king into check-mate?

If UF's chess team happens to win a championship, OTR is all for everyone rushing the streets as if it were any other sporting event. We'll take any excuse for mayhem and chanting of, "It's great to be a Florida gator".

While we wait to see if this football season will bring blocked off streets, greased poles, and riot gear, lets find some alternative outlets for partying in the meantime.

Rumor has it a mock trial championship is in progress. OTR is ready to rush the streets; are you?
