Florida Gators land spot at coach Todd Golden’s favorite San Francisco restaurant after all
Coach Todd Golden managed to get his top-seeded Florida Gators basketball team a reservation at his favorite San Francisco restaurant after all.
Golden said Tuesday that Original Joe’s, a popular San Francisco eatery with several Bay Area locations, created space for the Gators to dine this week before their Sweet 16 matchup against No. 4 seed Maryland.
Florida was scheduled to fly cross-country Tuesday and practice at the University of San Francisco, the school where Golden got his first head coaching job. The Gators will dress up (maybe) and chow down (definitely) at Joe’s after.
Golden had been thinking about the possibility of taking his players and staff to his hot spot once the NCAA Tournament bracket was revealed and the Gators landed the No. 1 seed in the West Regional. But the coach didn’t want to get ahead of himself with first- and second-round games to be played before a potential trip to the West Coast.
So by the time Golden called Original Joe’s, there was not space for 17 players, six coaches and more than a dozen additional staff members on relatively short notice. But Joe’s ended up making it work, getting Golden’s homecoming off to a rousing start.
The 39-year-old Golden played basketball at Saint Mary’s College in Moraga and returned to the region to coach at the University of San Francisco, first as an assistant and then as the head coach for three seasons.
Golden is 72-33 in three seasons in Gainesville.

Skating Meets Embarcadero History in Stunning ‘Epicenter’ Books
Later, Anthony G. Pappalardo draws a convincing parallel between skating in the 1990s at Embarcadero and music at New York’s CBGB in the late ’70s. “Like CBGB,” Pappalardo points out, “a creative scene grew from skateboarding, leading to new brands, artists, videographers and, of course, pros.”
It’s the small details, though, that truly elevate Epicenter. The photo book includes fun, fold-out spreads. The essay book includes architectural blueprints of Embarcadero Plaza. The set comes with a gigantic poster featuring scores of tiny snapshots of Rosenberg’s skate video footage from the era. There’s even an art print of some of Embarcadero’s long lost ledges, painted by Eric Merrell. The love and reverence Rosenberg holds for Embarcadero is reflected in every aspect of the set.
Epicenter is also a pertinent reminder of how quickly and often San Francisco transforms itself. The set asks the reader to appreciate their favorite features of the city every day that they still exist. A Thrasher interview quote by Greg S. Carrol from 1999 sums it up:
“There could never be another Embarcadero. Some of us spent hundreds of hours at Embarco. This just goes to show every one of you — don’t take anything for granted, whether it’s something as simple as brushing your teeth or something as fun as skating your favorite spot with your best friends, because someday it might be gone.”
‘Epicenter’ by Jacob Rosenberg is available for preorder now. An accompanying exhibition opens at GCS Agency (201 Jackson St, San Francisco) on Nov. 21, with book signings on Nov. 22 and 23.
