The one thing I believe will set the tone for this coming season

I feel like this bored has under respected the Noles over the last 4 years. It's driven me crazy.
I 100% agree. I want that W.

 

Are you saying this board is boring?

 

doh! multi tasking.....

 

It would help White to get a victory over one of his main rivals, no doubt.

 

He did beat UK at Rupp last year, but so did lots of other teams.

 

Yeah but also lost in Gainesville to them. It was a perfect opportunity to put two losses on UK last season as they won’t be a team that is down very often, but at least we beat them once. I could always count on football for payback but it seems that is out the window lately in regards to UK.

 

Hall - I gave it a "best Post Ever"! Great thread, and I hope fires up Gator Nation. Be a tremendous catalyst and confidence builder.

Think our early season motto should be "whip the Noles"!

Frankly I rank it as the UF basketball version of UF / UGA in football this year.

MUST WIN!

 

I would add that the Gators have been a little slow starting seasons recently.
Would be very encouraging to see some maturity on the court and a better start.

 

True - but a win is a win is a win at Rupp and I will take it and enjoy it!
(I mean I DID! lol)

Off topic a bit but the "Cheese" win in Rupp a few years ago was mighty sweet too!

 

Hall, you and AKA getting me FIRED UP !! (like you can't tell with all these posts...lol)

Go Gators!

 

It would be a great win early and give us fans hope that things are changing within the program.
Looking over FSU’s roster they are going to be tough. I wouldn’t bet the house on it. LOL

 

Completely agree. I've been trying to temper my excitement for basketball season until I can see how we perform against the Noles.

 

Does FSU still have 10 players over 7'2"?
They are rarely a good match up for us, so YES, a win would go a long way this year.

 

Four {4} seven footers, PF 6’8” 235 lbs to give you an idea of what is coming fast.

 

Add, tall guards also, 6’7”, 6’6”, 6’4”, they probably average out to the tallest team in America. I know they can’t all play at one time, I was just answering Manigordo’s questions. We better be ready to run up and down the court and wear them down.

 

You guys make it out like we will be the Toons without MJ playing the Monstars like in Space Jam.

We will be fine as long as Bill Murray suits up.
