Gators Schmaters

Ok, so I know all you FL gators fans are going to hate this post but I just have to vent about this. I am so sick of hearing how wonderful and great it is that all the FL players came back to play again this year. Like they are some sort of gods or something. I mean that is what they should do. I absolutely hate it when players leave early for the NBA. Get a degree!!! After all you are playing college Bball. Now let’s look at Steve Blake from UMD. After UMD won the NCAA tourney (2002) did he go to the NBA…nope he played his senior year, graduated, and then went to play in the NBA. Now that is the way it should work. I’m so sick of people praising the FL gators players for returning and treating them like some sort of god. It’s ridiculous. They did what they should do and they shouldn’t be getting all these props for doing so. Ridiculous. It's pretty sad that we praise these kids for coming back. I'll be willing to give these guys more credit when they finish there degrees.

If you haven’t analyzed the bracket…it’s looking like its set up as a FL vs UMD sweet sixteen. (Rematch from 2003 possibly…when UMD won at FL). If both teams make it past the first two rounds, we’ll be witnessing a good game. One that I feel UMD has a chance to win. If UMD shows up with their entire defense, shot blocking, 3 point shooting, and driving in the paint team they can pull it off (They have already beat a #1 seed this year). Beware of Vasquez, Hayes, Strawberry, Gist, Ibekewe, Bowers, etc…. They are determined and fired up to go as far as they can!
