    don't agree we had better talent across the board, certainly at C but their guards as a group were better than ours, at least last night. We struggled with a guard heavy team, that shot out of their minds from 3.

    Troll!

    because you speak of stupidity
    How can you say everyone to is to scared to admit it was a horrific performance? Do you have elementary school reading comprehension? There are a great many comments regarding the horrific performance.

    Go look up Donovan’s first and second year record at UF. I guess you would have wanted him fired too? Stop posting stupid sh*t, you’re embarrassing yourself.

    I'll take a Coach Golden tough 3rd game loss to FAU over a Coach White early 7th year blowout loss to Texas Southern any time.

    This is a waste of my time but assuming the OP also posted the thread title, which is nonsensical. Maybe he hasn’t seen Billy Donovan’s signature across the gymnasium floor?!?
    Personally, I like Golden and I know he is a winner. We will lose more games this year but we will improve steadily. It’s not like we were going undefeated. Golden was a great hire.
    Go Gators!

    I think docspore and I were there. (Memory is a strange thing). We may have been shooting hoops listening to the game on the radio.

    FAU was a bad mismatch for UF . Last night they were the better team. I’m not so sure we had a talent advantage like you thought.

    No you certainly are not going to be banned for giving your opinion. But this loss is not the end . If we can beat State things will be better. Some nites just don’t go you’re way. You got the boys riled up a bit . Ease up a bit

    As long as it doesn’t cost an NCAA tournament birth. A loss like this for a team that could be a bubble team could get definitely contribute to them not getting in

    I think we must have one foot on ice and the other on a banana peel for a game in early November to matter.

    I was also at that game, but I disagree with pretty much everything you've said in this thread. Being there proves nothing except that we're old

    Many replies here are from sunshine pampers that would be having an absolute fit if CMW were here. The funny thing is that that he would have never allowed sloppy, out of control players take such bad shots and still get so much playtime or the FAU guards to play Horse outside the three point line. All of us need to hope this game was and anomaly and Golden takes steps to fix the problems.

    I was one of the few Mike White supporters, but that’s me . I like people who carry themselves with class . Like Bill Napier . Donovan , Pat McMahon in baseball

    FAU may be one of those awesome teams this year . Well coached and got ballers. So this loss may not be terrible

    Apples to Oranges. Golden is in his first year. Very few had fits about White until he got into the latter years of his tenure.

    Perhaps allowing players to stay on the court and work through their sloppy, out of control play this early in the year will help them more in the long run than White's quick hook. Especially with freshmen, White gave them too short of a leash, in my opinion. He barely played extremely talented youngsters like Tre Mann as a freshman and yanked them after nearly every mistake. Hopefully Golden will let the young guys get some minutes to help them adjust to the speed of the college game before the meat of our schedule arrives.
