March Madness

The championship game between Florida and Ohio State is tomorrow night. Then it is over until bball starts again next November. :clap_1:

Not a moment to soon for me, bring on baseball. Fresh air, cold beer, cracker jacks, hot dogs...aaahhhh, that's the ticket.

I, on the other hand, wish it would last forever. The thought that I will never see Joakim, Corey, Al, Lee, and Taurean play together again after tomorrow night just breaks my heart.

Thanks for the memories, guys.

It is basketball, not your kid's last day on planet Earth.

Obviously, you're a Georgia fan. You wouldn't understand.

Just kidding! I love you Smiley J, but when you throw me a line like that, I must reply. I just don't have the self-control not to reply!
:funn: :rofl:

He's just trying to get you riled up.

Tell him they're going to do away with yarn so he can't pass the time at the bars kitting.

I'm serious, it is just basketball. Now if your son was on the team, I can see the excitement -- I'd be cheering too, but...

Ok SJ, March Madness is now over where the men are concerned and congrats to the Florida Gators. And thank you for taking Ohio State out. Something Tennessee should have been able to do but didn't and Xavier also. Florida is the first team to win back to back National Championships since Duke won back to back years in 1991 and 1992.

It's great ...
to be ...
a Florida Gator!
Have fun with the yarn, Smiley J. I'm being bad. But I feel like being bad. Actually I feel good. And I knew that I would (quote from James Brown).

Use the subjunctive case. "If your son (or daughter...let's not be sexest) were on the team..."

Miss Kitty, you don't get it, either. Love you babe, but your SMU background doesn't help you get it. Just like our Tulane undergrad experience doesn't relate. But once we went to UF for grad school, we got it.

I think you need to redo your Easter pedicure- and paint your toes orange and blue!

BR you are scaring me girl and I live 24/7 around people that are basketball crazy. Please stay away from the blue and orange nail polish.

Sorry, but I don't recall ladies being allowed to play on the men's team. It is the Men's Championship, right? Don't the Ladies have their own tourn.?

It is all over, SOWAL ROUNDBALL finished in 714959th place on Yahoo! That is the 64th percentile which is fairly frightening

If my daughter were still playing at MIT, I'd be more of a fanatic about MIT women's basketball than UF men's basketball. Unfortunately, she hurt her back at a practice, and doctors have told her that she can't play any more.

Congratulations BR!! I thought of you when I heard on the radio first thing this a.m. that the Gators won!! :clap_1:

So, Gator fans, does Donovan take the UK job?

Of course, you will all say "of course not," but I wouldn't be so sure. I don't know much about the situation, but I do know one thing - the decision won't be based on money. UF can pay him whatever they want, as can UK.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

I'd like to see him stay at Florida but it depends on how he likes sharing the spotlight with Urban and football. I think you are right JB, the decision will be based on ego.

What do you know about coaches and ego?;-)

What's interesting is I read that Urban and Billy live two doors down from each other. Their wives are close friends and their children play together. When asked if he would mind Billy earning more than he does, Urban said something to the effect of, "absolutely not, if you really knew our relationship you wouldn't even bother to ask that question."

My best guess is that Billy and Foley will sit down and hammer out a deal that gets him a salary equal to Urban's, plus whatever kind of financial commitment it takes to keep Florida in the upper echelon. My guess is if Billy sees that he will be able to build the program into a true basketball powerhouse a la Kentucky, it would be worth it to him to stay. Maybe Kentucky is a dream job for him but more likely, it WAS a dream job for him at one time and he realizes how good he has it now.

I think he stays. On the other hand I would not be shocked if he left within 5 years for the NBA.
