2003 - Beat Down Special

[BlueWorldOrder74]

Sorry for the quality, but I can still see it clearly - we destroyed those kids

To make anyone feel old, I was 11 when this happened.

I was 30. I am feeling a little old.

 

[m2a3tech_rivals80514]

Was the loudest I have ever heard Rupp.

That 2003 team was fun to watch. Really played team ball. Passed the ball so well. High basketball IQ.

 

[Slowwalker]

Watching that makes it much more apparent how calm Rupp is today. In that video, every person in there was standing and screaming.

I was 9. I’m about to enter my mid 20’s crisis what about you?

 

[Col. Angus]

ah the days of ****** standard definition.

 

[zannmann]

I was at that game. They did a Dukie V sound a like contest at half time.

Hustle and ball movement are timeless. Always refreshing.

Prolly my second favorite beatdown beside 2015 Kansas. We made them look like a middle school team.

 

[Travis Graf]

Ahhhh the memories of when I was 8.

 

[PositivePete]

That was awesome to watch / relive. Thanks for posting!

[BlueBoogiWooki]

I was 54. Remember that well. It was before my brain got fuzzy.

Is it me or is anyone else surprised by how young posters on here are?

Rupp is certainly calmer but to be fair UF was ranked #1 and we stomped on them from the tip. Under similar circumstances today I have no doubt Rupp would be rocking

 

[Cowtown Cat]

What a performance that was by the Cats. "The Cats are for real, my friends. The Cats are for real." - Dick Vitale. Hard to believe that was fifteen years ago. I was 21. To be 21 again.

Wasn't that the first time Florida had reached the #1 ranking?

 

[CatFanInTheBathtub]

Wasn't that the first time Florida had reached the #1 ranking?

I think so, and it was because the 3 or 4 teams ahead of them all lost the previous weekend. They moved up by default and got stomped within 24 hours. We on the other hand had lost to UL in the final game of the non-con schedule and didn’t lose again until the EE

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

I was at that game. They did a Dukie V sound a like contest at half time.

One of the contestants worked for me at the time. He was the guy that had actually shaved the top of his head and did up his eyebrows to actually look like Dick. He didn't win. But I'll tell you, he was so good he should have. Dude got nervous and just choked. He sounded exactly like Dick.

 

[JStaff21]

I was 16. I’ll never forget Dickie V calling out Florida for lack of pride as the 4th different Wildcat threw down a dunk. Good times. That team should have made the final four.

 

[Blueathletics]

Epic game which continued an eventual 24 game win streak....loved beating Hair Bear Walsh, Bonner, Roberson, etc.

 

[CatOfDaVille]

Estill had some of the softest hands for a big.

Bogans was just a really good player.

Tubby really had some great teams in the early 2000s. Can't believe he couldn't get past the EE.

 

[ukats98]

was at that game. By far the loudest I have ever heard Rupp. That first half was unreal!
