I have been coming to Rupp over 20 yrs or so. Now that I am 71 it may have been longer ......memory ain't as good. I like it here because your passion is like our football passion in gatorville (even though we have been irrelevant a LONG time). You know Im not here to crow because that would have been easy last year. I remember Pope playing for you, I saw some fire in his eyes when players messed up and he would yank him and put in another. One of our fans recently was moaning that Todd doesn't get ref respect because he looks like he is 22 yrs old. Whatever. He is an upgrade from Mike WHite for sure. Looks more and more like a HR for our program each day. If you see the locker room after games you can tell they relate to him and he acts like them celebrating. I don't think its an act. I hate the SEC is now 16 teams. But at least they still let us play y'all twice. And we hate UT as much as you do. Oh, my take on your team. Talent, real skills and gave UF their toughest game in a LONG while. Having our big sit with fouls made other players step up. I hear your best players are injured. I Hope you get them back for the tournaments.

I appreciate the encouraging words. Although we're gonna be without Kam, Q, and Lowe for the rest of the way, the Gators look to be the ebst in the conference again this year. Hope we finish strong and do better in the rematch at the end.

Hopefully Kentucky and Florida both will go deep in March and surprise a few people along the way, letting them know the SEC is far tougher than it has been given credit for this year.

Sadly only one has a real chance to return.

Golden definitely seems to be a home run for Florida. What I find interesting is that Mike White seems to be doing very well at Georgia.
