I am an idiot for giving up on this team, but boy do I love them!!!

We lost a tournament game. It was a winnable game. We probably should have won it. That has happened to every good-to-great coach. How long are you guys going to whine about it?

 

I can't think of anyone that dresses like a pimp to be a good coach

 

Somebody got their feelings hurt.

 

Why can't we all agree that White is a good man, a better than average coach but not a great one ( I think he is the 8 or 9th best coach now in the SEC but three of those are major cheaters) and every year our record will be 18-14 to 19-13. Under White we will always be on the bubble and some times we get to the NCAA's and sometimes we won't. If we are happy with this, we keep him if not we try somebody else. When we lose the fire White people respond and when we win the keep White people respond. I don't want to hear about we cannot find somebody better. I heard that from all those Cam lovers but it looks like we did. Still, you have to be proud of what the team did. They didn't fold the tents but keep fighting.

 

So you don't watch the NBA?

 

Any SEC road win is a good win.

 

Every year for a long long time we can beat any SEC team and we can lose to any SEC team.

Not so great but always interesting.

 

Not sure about doing it late. I must’ve counted at least 5 times they barely beat the shot clock with a miraculous bucket. That was in the first half.

 

So if you dress flamboyantly, you dress like a pimp? Geesh!

 

Definitely, but...after giving up a 15-0 run in the 2nd half we found a way to win, on the road, in the SEC. As much as we don't like the way this season has gone, I think this team has more comeback wins than any Gators team in recent memory. They have guts and a never give up attitude. Flan was clutch tonight

 

You can be proud of the guys and root for and support them and still be concerned about the program. It's not their fault that they don't have enough support. They're working hard with what they have. It's up to the coaching staff to do a better job putting a roster together and giving them more weapons.

As for finding someone better than White, I don't know if we can. However, that doesn't mean we shouldn't try. It may not happen this year, unless White moves on by his own choice. It will happen sooner or later. He's not the guy to elevate this program above what it is now.

 

We have a good team. Not quite as good as the 1994 team, but with the same "Find a way" vibe. Cool that they have been wearing the 1994 style jerseys.

 

Totally different times and styles. Castleton is sort of DeClerq-like. But we play more players and a faster style. In those days I sat a few rows above the visitor bench, and would look at the visiting team and think there’s no way we’re going to beat those guys. I think the physical skills today don’t show up as obviously in still pictures

 

GC etiquette dictates I should not give a "Come on man" without stating why.

This team fought tooth and nail all season long for crumbs, and should the boys lose tomorrow I will accept this perspective stuff then. Right now we all need three days of reality free celebration! (Come on man!)

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Rock.

 

More than sort of ... it's uncanny.

One can tell which way the game will swing next based on his immediate emotional state and the awkward way he seems to toss those arms around when he gets going.

DeClercq was exactly like that.

 

I understand that folks are looking for any reason to celebrate as those opportunities are few and far between. Beat UK on Saturday and I will gladly join in on the party. But until then, yeah it was an exciting game and I’m glad they pulled out a comeback win on the road. It was worthy of feeling good about a road win, sure, but I’m not gonna lose my mind over beating Vandy. Is that what Gator basketball fans have become? Celebrating beating Vandy like it was a Final Four? Come on man!

 

No. But let’s also not be so jaded we can’t enjoy a comeback win on the road. That’s all.
