I DVRed the game last night.  ...probably not that exciting for most, but it was fun for me.

I wonder if it means a lot for B-Ball programs within the state, being the first FL champion ever...

They earned it. I wasn't much of a believer in them, but they handled business. Now hopefully they all come back next year to defend their title instead of being the 12th man on some NBA team's bench.

I just don't want to start seeing Gators shit everywhere now.  Now, everyone is going to have attended UF, or been in Gainesville, or have relatives in Gainesville, or some other bullshit excuse to hop on the wagon.

I think it's a good thing for the state, and for the school.

I see 3928778 people at work today wearing something Gators.

They had to pull it out of the back of the closet and dust it off late last night ::)

Yep, same here.  I'm already seeing Gators Bumper Stickers and little flags on people's cars.

It's amazing how these paraphanilia items just start popping up.  Simply amazing.

Give them there due......they have not done anything in football since 1996 so I guess they need some self-esteem booster in another sport. Honestly, it is a great achievement and, as Dave said, good for the school and for the State.  Hats off.

Hey, I'm not NOT giving them their due, i'm giving these "all of a sudden" fans shit, because how convinient that NOW they like the Gators.  They never mentioned it or shown it before, and now they're "long time fans" and are wearing shirts, and have bumper stickers on their cars.

Hey, you'll never see me becoming a sudden GAY-TOR fan, and the only reason you'll see me wearing any GAY-TOR attire is if I lose a bet. 

I think you guys are a bit delusional with all this bandwagon stuff. According to many people here there is a bandwagon everytime a different team wins something. Do you honestly think all these people went to the 24 hour Wal-Mart last night after the game and bought up all this stuff?

My guess is you guys never pay attention to the bumber stickers, flags, shirts, hats, etc. until a team wins something and then it sticks out to you. Remember not everyone wears sports apparel every day.

I think Jtex is referring to the average sports fan that doesn't really root for a certain team.  If you're a fan of a team, you stick with that team through good and bad.

Besides, it's not like we're talking about some obscure school -- we live in FLORIDA, and it's the FLORIDA Gators.  It'd be one thing if Georce Mason won and you started seeing a bunch of their gear.

ALL I have to say is NATIONNNNNNNALLLLLLLLL CHAMPS BABY!!!!!!


We dont need anyone's freakin respect, we went out on the hardwood and took it. We punched UCLA in the mouth and theY never recovered. Where is the ghost of john wooden? What happened to all that UCLA tradition? Their's a new general in town baby.

I know it's difficult for hurricoone fans, and that other school in tally-crappy to accept the fact that your school must play second fiddle to the mighty gators. I bet you were foaming at the opportunity to call the gators chokers last night had we lost.  That's what makes this victory so sweet, we are know the envy of the state. Hurricoone, and tally -crappy fans were forced to go crawl back into their collective holes.


What does a criminole or hurricone fan know about big time college basketball anyway? They havent smelled a NCAA tournament bid in ages. Expect the gator train to keep rolling. While were celebrating a national title, hurricoone fans can focus their attention on that football team that will lose 3 more games this year, and tally- crappy fans can get ready for another ass whippin to be delivered from the boys in orange & blue. BTW- TOMMY pay up sucka. Do you ever get tired of losing?

2 bits, 4 bits, 6 bits........a dollar........... all for the gators........stand up and hollaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!


NATIONAL CHAMPS BABY!!!!!!!!!!! LATER HATERS!!!!!!

Dude, if you read my post you know I gave them respect. Credit ie earned where credit is due. I doubt you would be man enough to do the same.  ::)

That being said, UM is not a basketball school and people could care less about it.

Oh yeah, on more thing:

UM - 5 time college football champ
UF - Once

i know, that is hard to digest. Enjoy this little, temporary high b/c before you know it you will be able to see the gay-tors choke again in the fall.

I'd like to add something. Being from South Carolina, I follow USC (not southern Cal) athletics to a marginal degree. This year South Carolina won the NIT, while beating Florida twice (I believe) during the regular season.

What does that mean ladies and germs? Yes, that's right, the NIT champs waxed the NCAA champs not once but twice during the season, rendering it impossible to call it a fluke.

I'll give UF it's due; they won a hard tourney, but this does make ya think...

The Canes are one-dimensional, and you're bragging about 5 titles -- but they started coming like 20 years ago.

The Gators are the most complete athletic program in FL...and possibly in the country.  They are consistantly competant in baseball, football, and basketball.

Florida is the only college football team I've liked (back in the Spurrier days)... I generally don't care for college athletics, and tend to have teams that I hate (Duke, Notre Dame, Stanford, Kansas, Kentucky) more than any team I particularly like.  But I did like the Gators in football.

Which isn't exactly relevant to this thread.

5 titles since 1983. I don't any other teams out there that manage on average a title every 5 years.

And they are not one-dimensional. They baseball program is one of the better ones in the nation and usually is a title contender.

As hard as it is, I have to agree there.   You guys also compete well in track & field, swimming & diving, and tennis. 

My Noles also compete well in baseball, soccer, track & field, and volleyball

Jesus.  Start racking up championships before making bold predictions and ranting as if they were the best team ever. Florida winning is about as meaningful as Maryland and Syracuse winning it a few years ago. Pfff.   ::)

P.S.  Get good in college football before you start ragging on FSU and UM. 

Were the best team this year that's all that matters, and if everyone returns with the recruiting class we have coming in we will be prohibited favorites next year. Bank on it.


What the hell has miami football done since entering the ACC. No more creampuffs on the schedule like rutgers, temple, and syracuse. If you haven't noticed scUM FOOTBALL has been in steady decline since butch davis boys went on to greener pastures. If you played in the SEC you wouldnt have half of those championships and you know it.  What about this years peach bowl performance. That was one for the ages. You got your ass beat on the field, and in the tunnel. 40-3 great job larry choker.


As for F$U i have bragging rights until they beat us again. I'll i have to do is say this 20-13, 34-7, im sure those scores are fimiliar to a certain member of this board. Again the gators train will continue to roll!!!!!!!

LOL. This is what happens when schools who rarely if ever taste a championship - they post or say ridiculous things. Gay-tor fans were so starved for a win in anything that they go nuts after their secondary college bb program. Well good for you gaytor fans - enjoy it cuz up next is baseball where you have never tasted a championship while my HURRICANES have tasted it 4 times then its football where you will be holding on to that lone fluke season in 93 while the UM dynasty will continue - 5 championships & counting. Speaking of Peach Bowls & beatings, how about the Gators last peach bowl - a 27-10 ownage courtesy of the Canes - & that was with Coker, the worst incarnation ever of a UM head coach. Enjoy it gaytor fans, soon you will come down from the clouds & back to reality, where you & the semaholes  will continue to be btches for the Canes.

OMG- Hurricoone fans never cease to amaze. Secondary bb program. LOL. Ohh you mean the basketball program that's been to 3 final fours in 12 years. The only basketball school to play in the national championship game twice this decade. The only team since the 1968 BRUINS to win the national semifinal, and title game by more than 14 pts. Not bad for a secondary program.


Can i please get a run down of what miami has accomplished the last 12 years in basketball. Billy Donovan was already a top -flight recruiter, now he has a national championship ring to flaunt in front of those future prospects, and the O' Dome that's filled to capacity everygame. What does frank haith have to sell to potential recruits? Ohh here's one. When we play the gators half of the fans wil be gators fans in our own arena. Jealously & envy couldnt be more prevalent amongest you hurricoone fans. After football season the athletic program grinds to a screeching halt until spring practice.


Tell your basketball team their's no need coming to GAINESVILLE next year. We're going to whipe your asses of the court next year at least by 15-20. 


Go Gators!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jealous One's Envy = Miami fans!!!


P..S- Is perry clark still cashing checks from paul dee? LOL.... what a fantastic hire.

cmon cowboys, I gave your gaytors their basketball kudos. The gaytors can have the bronze medal any year they want to its theirs. But at the end of the day we all know what the FL teams are - they are football schools. Always have been, always will be. That means we are # 1 where it counts sir. That means the Canes will win their 6th while the gaytors football program spends their 100th year of futility hopelessly searching for their 2nd. It means the semahole fans will continue to lose sleep over the Canes, even though they will win a nail biter here & there, it will take a convincing win over Miami to exorcise their demons, something that might not happen for a very long time.
