What a great video. What a great Gator.

Here's the video Jim posted in the twitter link.

One of my favorites. Hell of a three-point shooter. And it looks like a really funny guy to boot.

That is gold!

What you don't know unless you click on the link is that his twitter account has one tweet. This video. ...and his account was started this month.

I'm glad he is a Gator - for what he did on our court, on all the other courts and for this kind of stuff. Best of luck to Matt Bonner!

You're getting there, but still have a ways to go. I was long gone from UF and Gainesville when he played for us (and it took me 5 years to get my MS degree :bandit:).

Excellent and thanks for that link. Great gator. He was a basketball player who knew his role. Made him some fine spending money, too. Probably will be the gov. of NH one day.

In case you didn't know: several articles were written touting/taunting Matt's frugality. He continued to drive
his old school car after getting riches in bonus and salary. He has invested the majority of his earnings.
Wish he'd revisit his alma mater for camaraderie with White and young Gators.
