Ollie Ollie Oxen Free? Jason DeVore: They should expect a lot of intensity. We had a lot of time to write the album, obviously, because we had a year off of touring and everything else of that nature, so we ended up writing like 40 songs for it. In the end, we chose to have just 13 really fun songs, and we recorded once again with Cameron Webb (Motörhead, Sum 41, Kelly Clarkson, Megadeth) out in California. We previously did The Tipping Point (2013) with him, so we knew that it would sound great and we would have a great time recording as well.

The Back Nine comes at you after a big weekend for Gator sports and a great Sunday for all of the mothers out there, especially my wife. 10. There is no way I can start this column without gushing about what happened on the softball field Sunday. If it wasn’t enough that Julia Cottrill hit the walk-off homer that gave Florida the No. 1 seed in the SEC Tournament and a share of the SEC title, her incredible slide tied the game up earlier on the day. And then she had a tooth chipped out by celebrating that sleight of hand slide when it collided with teammate Charla Echols’ batting helmet. A...

The Back Nine comes at you after another weekend on the road and some and, yes, I feel pampered. And poor. Now it’s time to pour myself into the 26th Bob Dooley Invitational (May 15). 10. So, the NFL Draft finally is over and the SEC once again flexed its muscles setting a record for the most players ever drafted. And it’s not as if we went to 10 rounds like the old days that anyone would catch up. The SEC is America’s League and everyone else is living in it. It’s where the most elite players want to play because they know this league is the smoothest route to the NFL. And the Florid...

“Ollie Ollie Oxen Free” is a song that shoots at you faster than a missile. It's got a catchy harmonized chorus, and a sense of hope in the lyrics: Just hold on and be strong, you belong in good company. One listen to “Fire Off Another,” and you can't help but think about the concept of conflict (not to mention, the visuals for the music video include soldiers in a tank and fighter pilots). The lyrics hint at a disagreement: "I'm right, you're wrong / We can do this all day long." You might think there’s something political behind the words, though DeVore says otherwise.

The Back Nine comes at you in a bit of a panic because it is only three weeks until the 26thBob Dooley Invitational and I’m starting to freak out. This is, of course, an annual occurrence. 1. Because we live in football town (and remind me to tell you about the shirt I once bought in Athens), we’ll start with the news that the SEC Network is going to show the two-hour Inside the Gators special Monday at 9 p.m. This is a replacement for having a spring game, which couldn’t be played because the Swamp was being used for vaccinations and golf balls falling from the sky. The truth is that y...
