Lineup of events is loaded for Gator fans this weekend

A look at what is going on in UF athletics this weekend.

So, let's say you're a Gator fan and you want to get outside this weekend. I'd say you're in luck.

In one of the busiest weekends of the year for UF athletics, the Gators seem to be everywhere starting Thursday when the baseball team opens a key three-game SEC series against Kentucky.

The Gators are tied atop the SEC East with Vanderbilt and South Carolina with three games to play, so there is plenty at stake in their final regular-season series of the season.

Meanwhile, the softball, men's golf and lacrosse teams are already in the postseason and each hosts an NCAA event this weekend.
