    THE best thing about right now (at least in the mid-Atlantic): cooler and much less humid weather. The signal has been sent...finally!

    Basketball is a game that is played in the winter and was designed as a game to be played then to keep athletes in shape over the winter for other sports.

    So why is it in the Summer Olympics?

    I for one am antsy for the season to get here.

    I'm curious about the new backcourt, especially Pullin, I want to know if he can perform at the same high level in a power conference.

    Who's going to take up space and be productive on the inside? Samuel, Handlogten??

    I cannot wait...

    Officially ready. Not sure if I can take another season of not being in contention for the NCAA tournament though so hopefully this excitement is not short lived!!

    Any news would do, not just the bad news. We need reports of everything Gator mens basketball daily. Recruiting news as it happens.

    They wouldn't allow Nick to video basketball practice yesterday...so NO. o_Oo_O
    But reporters can stay for the entire practice session, so a major upgrade from football.

    Dateline October 12, 2023, Richmond Virginia.

    The air is clear with little humidity and it is getting chilly. The leaves are getting distinctly more colorful and some are even on the ground. The smell of basketball is wafting in the air!

    Or is it some of us old folks burning fires in our fire places? Anyways, time for some fresh apple cider and some marquee matchups. Let's GO!!!

    Could we get video and coaches comments on the players, recruiting and the team’s progression daily? It’s like maybe once a week we hear something. We as Gator basketball fans, deserve better.

    Chris Harry mentioned in his new piece about Riley Kugel that the Gators will have a closed scrimmage at Miami in ten days. Good to see that CTG would rather scrimmage against high-level competition than against the Eckerds of the world.

    Ah, never been to Fredericksburg but I like Civil War history. Major battles fought in and around the town.
