    My wife was looking at me crazy because I jumped up off the couch shouting then she looked at the TV and saw the score and replay and understood.

    They say that every time the field is expanded.

    One thing about the NCAAT is if you happen to be in or near our 1st weekend location, it is an incredible way to see the team. Normally because there are so many teams, especially for the 1st round, that when we play a lot of other teams' fans leave and there are empty seats everywhere, sometimes even close to the bench. Twice I got to sit within a few rows of the bench, once close to BD's dad and once when Patric Young was a freshman I sat with his entire family. They were incredibly nice and down to earth and when I mentioned him going to the NBA they said, oh no he's staying all 4 years. He ended up staying of course for a couple reasons but I always remember the experience, because of that and the incredible experience of watching such an important game with such a close knit group of Gators fans. Anyway, I recommend it for anyone that can make the trip.

    Ironic that "Cheese”"s iconic shot was against Wisconsin of all states. They probably didn't want to even look at cheese for a while after that shot

    Let's beat both that ass. TBH, I'm considering any additional wins of the three remaining games to be gravy. The truth is, though, that these Gators are capable of winning 'em all.

    If we win tomorrow, I like our chances to win all 3 remaining regular season games.

    Anyone else getting pre-game jitters?

    Nah. It's a big game but the season doesn't hinge upon it.

    I think the bigger question in the future is what happens with conferences. Say the big conferences break off from the NCAA, what is the impact on the other sports? There’s likely big changes coming, the conferences know their power.

    surprised to see that we only have a 38% chance to beat Bama at home Tuesday night. It is senior night in Gainesville and hope we have a sellout

    Well Alabama had their home winning streak snapped by UT yesterday. Now the Gumps can start a new losing streak on Tuesday.

    Question for everyone. Would you have preferred AL won yesterday relative to our game with them on Tuesday? Or does it matter at all. For me, I'm glad they lost. They should be feeling a little vulnerable coming onto Billy Donovan Court on senior night.

    A 2-0 finish and our NCAA outlook will be very nice.

    I been saying this for a month, they get all kinds of respect and for what? I don't get it, they were still on the 3-5 seed line last time I checked.

    Win tomorrow night and we end the season with at least two top 10 NET wins and probably a chance for a third against Auburn on Friday in the SEC tournament if we win Thursday.
