an established tradition when I arrived for law school in 1980. The Gator chomp (with band playing “Jaws” music) started following year. There was a publication (analogous to "Blue & Gold Illustrated" called "Gator Bait" back then). After all these decades, I had no clue about the Jim Crow associations of that term. I never expected that chant to be dropped.

I will be interested to see whether they rename O’Connell Center.
