I'm not even making a joke here, I'm pretty sure that the Hotel Oleo is on the site of (or dam close to) the old Skeeter's Big Biscuit on 441. After Ol' Skeeter got into some trouble with the IRS, he went on to start Cafe Risque out on I-75 (incorporated in his wife's name, of course).

True story.

I mean UM has other nearby options such as the Biltmore but gave them Key Biscayne. What options did the gator have near their school that said hey let’s give ‘em the stormwater pond experience?

We could’ve put them at the Executive Motel on 8 street near LeJeune and it would’ve been better than that dump they put their recruits in
 
Seeing is believing, so I thought I'd take an aerial look at what all the gator bragging is about. And compare it to the Miami experience.

In fairness to the gators, proximity is not to be underestimated. There's a hospital right next door to the Eleo in case the .... cuisine don't treat you so well.

Beautiful comparative pictures, sir.

And, yes, I can assure you, the Eleo Retention Pond is not a naturally-occurring body of water. I've driven up 441 (the road on the right side of that picture) countless times in the last 45 years, and that "scenic vista" is a retention pond required by the Alachua County Zoning Board.

That Gainesville Hotel Eleo - has a real nice view of that mudhole - and I think there's a Waffle House just down the road for Gainesville Fine Dining.

Gonna be hard to beat that . . .

Even Grunge Grease (Ohio State) doesn't have a mudhole!
