The truest and best thing ever written about Whiteyball. The author should get a pulitzer.

I was just thinking earlier that the perfect symbol for the team is a coin. You can flip it and get one side or the other. Neither outcome is particularly surprising. You can get three or four heads in a row and all the pumpers come out to chide the doubters and tell us they told us so. You can get three or four tails in a row and the dumpers come out and do the same.

This situation clearly favors the dumpers because who the hell aspires to be mediocre? The pumpers are basically arguing at this point that anything short of horrible is not only okay but that you are a doubter and a bad fan if you’re not cool with it.

Who's a pumper? Serious question.

I’m sure there’s more but I don’t even read most of the hoops stuff anymore, so I can’t name them.

We all know the Gator’s BB is not great but fU#k that dude, we bash them enough without his help.

Other boards are full of them. Crucial is over at On3 waiting for the perfect moment to pump away like a dog in heat. Never fails.

True story, but hate the way that sounds

The words are as soberingly painful as a kick to the groin.

The most damning part of the blurb was this: "we have no vision of what Florida basketball is; or what it's supposed to be."

It's Year 7 of the Mike White era and journalists are writing that about us. Florida went from established College Basketball blue-blood to...perennial bubble watch contender that's 7th or 8th best in a conference we routinely dominated.

This clown needs to go.

UF is the Laodicea of SEC basketball…

 

[Durty South Swamp]

This team has no identity. Just like every other MW coached team. You can't describe this team with any more detail than to say things like poorly coached, ugly, frustrating, or at best mediocre.

This team is like wallpaper. Utterly forgettable and completely adept at blending in so well that you don't even notice or remember they are even there.

That is forever and always in my top10 of favorite commercials. Thanks for giving me another look at it.

@MJMGator yeah I said 3 years ago that we should move on from MW and go for Brad Stevens or Gregg Marshall

When writers start turning against you, it's just a matter of time.
