While I agree Kentucky seems to get their pick Florida has not done so bad over the last few years. In fact, I would say their recruiting is much better than their performance. I really don't understand why they don't perform better. No bashing intended.
I think people go overboard on criticism of florida's basketball program because they forget it's Florida
We are not Kansas, duke, Kentucky, Carolina, etc, etc, etc.
So, I don't have any long lasting bitterness and disappointment about falling just short of a final four or only having the 12th best team in the country in a given year.
Donovan is 31-11 in NCAA tournament play at Florida.
As far as I am concerned, it's a damn miracle
Correct me if I am wrong, but Tennessee has never won the sec and made the elite 8 in the same season.
So, florida's season would have been tennessee's best.....ever
You sure have a unique way of defining "best." Whatever works for a team that gets embarrassed in the Sugar Bowl and the NCAA tournament is OK with me. You got me, I think?
:loco:
I get the jab at Donovan but I think it's misplaced. I used to really hate the fact that he seemed to recruit too many guard or small forwards, in his own image, but over time I've really come to think its because we can't recruit the 6'10" blue chippers. It's just who we are.
It's like you're trying on purpose not to make sense.
Florida lost a BCS bowl game...while Tennessee finished up it's second losing season.
Florida just made its third straight Elite 8 run...while Tennessee lost to mighty Mercer in the NIT.
Tennessee's deepest run in the NCAA tournament was an Elite 8 run...something Florida's done the last three seasons, with back-to-back national titles not too long ago.
But yeah, you got us...I think. :thumbsup:
You sir are the reason I say Florida has the most obnoxious, rude, and irrational fans in the world. Cant't wait to see your childish reply!
:loco:
Dude, you are the one who is upset that my post about this would have been tennessee's best basketball season ever is factually correct.
So, you have taken jabs ever since and posters have jabbed back.
You're just mad because what I originally said is true
