UF appreciation: Pay Donovan more than Meyer

[California Gator]

Although Florida is not a B-ball powerhouse and their first love is Football... I see Billy D staying on as a Gator too. I see it for other reasons that getting paid $ 4million. I see him staying until maybe an NBA job opens up after Pat Reily retires.

Bottom line... where would you rather LIVE - FLORIDA or Kentucky. I rest my case... he's staying where its nice! Kentucky - basketball powerhouse for sure... but that's all they got in the whole state. Life is more than college basketball, Florida is the place to live. Kentucky? Give me a break, would ya?

Ky is a great place to live, especially when you have an eqestrian daughter, or just because you love bb, do we get him.. not by a long shot.. but a long shot would be sweet..

truthfully of all the arguments as to whether he will come or go the weather and how nice FLA is is the dumbest one of all. Hell look at Denny Crum. Won 2 championships at Louisville was offered UCLA 2 different times and turned it down. If he dosent come to Ky trust me the weather and what there is to do is not anythign to do with it.geex get a grip

You know absolutely nothing about UK basketball! You need to get your facts straight before you start bashing UK. Your knowledge about basketball syas it all.

That means that there are greater expectations. And stop quoting the players saying that nothing is good at UK unless you win the national championship. That is a bias and how would Joakim Noah know that? He can even play basketball even if his life depemded on it. Don't be calling UK a nuthouse as you have in previous articles. Donovan is OURS and you guys just refuse to accept it. Read this comment Bianchi, and if you don't reply to it, I know you are to much of a sissy to do so. Here's a suggestion: get a real job!

WHAT SAY YOU NOW...YOU PROBABLY DON'T HAVE THE NADS TO WRITE A RETRACTION ESAD!

DONOVAN'S STAYING AT UF!!!!!

UK find someone else to carry on your tradition!

Mr French, it's official, Donovan is staying at UF. Press conference is at 4 today. Possibility that the players remain instead of going to the NBA!

<quoted text>actually very funny and creative. did u knwo the singer on these commericials was the lead singer of Survivor when they did Eye Of The Tiger? oh by the way. Please dont flatter yourself that much into believing that Fla is Kentuckys arch rival. Dude Louisville is our Voldermort, Darth Vader, nad Freddie Kruger all roleld into one. Hell even Tenneesee is more important than FLa but again quite funny

yeah, I know,....there are a few "interpetation" to be made there, the cheif rival thing in NOT implied to be UF.
We know our place in all this!....

Put it this way: If there were a Mount Rushmore of college basketball coaching jobs, Kentucky would be on it, alongside North Carolina, UCLA, Duke and Kansas."

Strange, no mention of UF gecko's.

'cept for one thing,....UNC, Puke, and Kansas ALL have coaches!...UK's #1 target said "NO"!,...did not even want to listen to what THE MOUNT had to say!....and, "like" the Mount,..You're OLD news!

BTW, Rick of FTL. Tell me your address because I'm in FTL also. We are going to get something straight with the rest of you GAYtors, UF sucks and always will when it comes to basketball, not including 2006&2007. Come on GAYtors, I can take a hit. Post something on here that sounds more ridiculous than Bianchi's articles. UF should never be compared to UK unless you are talking about the past two seasons. "Billy would be taking a step down if he went to Kentucky."Step down my a$$! Get lost UF, you are done after the tournament, Donovan is OURS and you know it.
GO BIG BLUE!!!!!!!

Where are you Alan??? Surely you didn't miss the news that Donovan stayed at UF? Or that he has a top-10 recruiting class already lined up, with potentially another several top-tier recruits now looking at UF? Guess you missed that news...
