Oh Billy...

It now appears Billy Donovan will be heading back to Florida. As a Gator fan I was not happy to see him leave. But as an Orlando Magic fan thought at least he will be with a team I root for. Now he has flip-flopped his way back to Gainsville and left a bad taste in the Magic's mouth. Hopefully Orlando can sign Van Gundy to take over the team and UF will still be strong...

Way to go Billy!!

Billy Donovan is staying at Florida. Check out the full story here: http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaab/news?slug=ap-florida-donovan&prov=ap&type=lgns Here is a quote I am glad to here.

That being said I'm very proud of what we've built here at the University of Florida...

It's Great to be a Florida Gator

It’s great to be a Florida Gator, said it’s great to be a Florida Gator. What a time to be a Gator fan. Two championships for basketball and one for football in a year. Can’t go anywhere but down from here. Last night was a beat-down and a way to prove Florida had the best team. I was impressed with Oden (although I found it ironic that Florida was called for several “touch fouls” against him, but didn’t see the same type of calls at the other end) but who cares in the end anyway.

I think one of the commentators hit the nail on the head in the pre-game when he was talking about Lee Humphrey. He said “If that guy is fifth on the scouting report it is no wonder Florida is almost unbeatable”. What was great was the way the Florida guards completely outplayed OSU’s. Brewer was the Most Outstanding Player, but the award could have easily gone to Horton.

Now what will Florida do. First things first, they better go to Donovan and offer whatever it takes to keep him in Gainesville and out of Lexington. They had a few returnee’s look pretty good last night (Green, Hodge and the freshman big man), but need to get another class like the one leaving to play in the NBA next season.

My prediction on NBA picks (Brewer: top 5, Horton: top 10, Noah: top 15, Richards: second round, Humphrey: NBADL). I hope Green comes back, I don’t see him as quite ready for that level of basketball.

Now lets get ready for some football…
