How many easy offensive rebounds did we give them tonight? Up 16 and lose by 7 at home to a mediocre MSU team. Hard to see how this season doesn’t end in NIT first round exit if things don’t get better...

This is job-ending incompetence from Mike White.

A tough home loss vs Baylor? Annoying, but understandable.

Immediately losing your next home game vs a .500 unranked SEC team that was on a losing streak of their own? Unacceptable.

THIS needs to be the game that gets this clown fired. I've held my voice long enough wanting things to be different...but enough is enough. Preseason #6 with: 1) our 3 scorers from last year back 2) #1 grad transfer in Blackshear, who averages a double-double a game 3) a top 10 recruiting class with 3 NBA caliber talents and 2 guys that would start or play significant minutes at most other teams (Glover and Jitobah)????

This is a clinic in coaching competence. If White can't be *ranked* with this team, he is not worthy of being a Gator coach, period. Fire his worthless azz TONIGHT and mail him his clothes to whatever chithole school he wants to relocate to.

That was ugly. I have stood by white because he can recruit but he has no feel for this team, how to rotate them or inspire them.

At halftime, I wrote that MSU put in an embarrassing defensive effort in the first half and can't believe they are coached by Ben Howland with that showing. At the same time I credited UF for taking advantage and making those uncontested shots. Well it is a good thing that MSU decided not to show up defensively in the first half, otherwise we might have lost by 30 on our home floor. One can only wonder what a real coach could do with this roster, which has a little bit of everything. We might not win the whole thing, but perhaps we would look like we knew how to play the game of basketball.

Just saw CMW has 5 young children, maybe they took his will to live (Energy) and broke him. Got nothing else, back to the time before stormin Norman! But the games in the old gym were a blast

So.....who is on your short list for coaching candidates? I'd really like Brad Underwood at Illinois. But idk if he would leave unless the money was right.

It’s possible the Thunder collapse enough to fire Billy so we can hire him back, isn’t it?

We play Vandy the night he comes home to name the floor. Vandy is currently dead last in the SEC and 8-11. Couldn't we lose that game and Billy see how White is destroying what he built and get the itch to come back?

And look where we play Saturday, at said Commode Doors. We play them twice and Arky once. Those are the only games I see us legitimately winning from here on out.

So we meet at the same place again each year with Mike, at the proverbial conundrum. Is it better to actually lose these games and hope that the idiots in charge can plainly see what is going (or NOT going) on, and decide to be PROACTIVE and make the obvious move? Or would you rather win some of these games despite the coach and continuously return to the same place each year? For this option I suggest you see BUTTERS, :butters:

Yes he fired himself, but the point I am making is that Butters made the tourney so to speak but the product was awful and you knew you were going nowhere. I would never openly root for the Gators to lose, but winning games just to squeak into the tourney and knowing you are actively supporting the definition of INSANITY is something I can't bring myself to do.
