This is coming from a very unhappy Gator fan.

I bet they have PP.

Wonder if he'd have taken the Magic job if he had already taken the UK job? Wouldn't put it past him.

I'm sure he would have...another one playing "follow the money"!

Pretty quiet in here from the Gators fans!!! At first I was really upset. but then i could see it from BDs' point...everyone is gone now from team...6M a year to accept the challenge...and if it doesn't work out,he can still coach anywhere he wants. Will be interesting to see if his transition works!

Or he could have just built a legacy at one of the best men's basketball programs of all time and made about 2/3's of what he will make with the Magic (with all the extra's) and probably do "okay" for himself...

With the continued improvement of Darko Milicic, Donovan will have them in the finals in a year!! He sees Howard and Darko as an upscale version of Horford and Noah.

I am available to provide odds and a place to take any action that you would like to make on this prediction.

Your kidding?
Howard is a force. But so far a Shaq-like force. I want to see how his skills progress. Darko I cant say. Just have not seen him enough. I like Nelson.

No Grant Hill. Starting forward and go to scorer with range is Hedo Turkeybreath. Yikes. No way. The cornerstone needs some support. FINALS?????????? Yikes and Nopes.

You ain't kiddin baby. And I quote....

Florida's incoming recruits were not the first to call Lucas, however. A future Wildcat actually dialed him first.

"The first person to call me was Patrick Patterson," said a laughing Lucas. "He said, 'I told you so' and told me to quit playing around and come to Kentucky."

HAHA!!!! Kentucky will now dominate the SEC once again!!!!!!! Everything is how it should be!!!

Donovan is going Kobe on us.

HE spent the last 3 days watching Darko tapes and figured the freshman coming in to replace Noah and Horford were a better bet!!!

Make up your damn mind already...

and, after four days, the bloom is off the rose, orlando is going to let him out of his contract before the ink is dry, and back to gator-ville he goes.

and they say women can't make up their minds! pfffft.
