    Thanks MCG, that's a good and complimentary article about Billy D and the Gators!

    Think Gonzo and Little Gonzo read it? :)

    Good article.

    If you can believe Rick Barnes is getting some criticism from Texas fans over his not having won a B12 conference tournament and he's won only 1 out right B12 Championship, plus this years B12 Co-Champions. He's been to a final 4 and 3 consecutive sweet 16's. But this year with that big loss to Duke and to Tenn then some tough road losses to Ok State and Texas A&M the natives are in a what have you done for me lately. Some have called for a change. Oh yeah he's avg' 23 wins/year in his Texas career. I laugh when I read these posts calling him a great recruiter and a mediocre coach....sound like someone familiar! :)

    Yeah Terry and Billy D gets that kind of comments from some of our less knowledgable fans also. I think he has more 20 win seasons that the rest of our coaches combined, but some people criticize him for getting eliminated to quickly in the NCAA's.

    Me, I love the guy.

    little guy, my perspective is that no matter when the Gators lose in the NCAA tournement they went a lot futher than any other team in the state of Florida.

    It's tough carrying the whole state on our back, but hey we are up to it.
