The Billy Donovan Thread

[solarman]

Please don't get me wrong.... I love our Football and Basketball teams but I am soooo ready for something positive.

I'm not sure this will be the answer after last year. Here's hoping I'm wrong.

When does gymnastics start?

 

[MidwestChomp]

Gymnastics has started. But the curse of Muschamp struck them as well. During the first meet Bridget Sloan our best gymnast got a 10 on vault and then severely sprained her ankle on floor. She's out maybe for the entire regular season. I'm waiting for softball. And track will be good this year again.

Baseball is preseason #7, but let's hope they can finish this year!!!!

Sully has the defense and the pitching looking good. We need these guys to live in the batting cages.

Do you like the new Yankees uniforms?

What?!? Where's the Donovan slobberfest at? He just blames the players and you let him off the hook?

Apparently not as much as you do..go ahead and come out already

I noticed your Donovan bashing was eerily quiet last year. Hypocrite.

What's with all the hetero-bashing, Gorilla? We've welcomed you, even tried to make you feel at home with beefcake photos, and yet you still bash us.

His kind are bashful.

I wasn't quiet. I simply stated that Donovan needs a natural leader on the court. He had that with Wilbekin and Young. We had a team that should've at least made it to the final game, but Donovan overworked Wilbekin during the SEC and NCAA tournaments and he finally wore down. It was one of the best teams we've had at UF due to above average talent and team chemistry. They earned their Final 4 ticket, but it should've been more.

This year I am only quiet because the product on the court is so poor that I can't watch it. We have upperclassmen who are getting blamed by the coaching staff, yet it's the coaching staff failing them. If you want to nuthug Donovan and give him credit for 2 NC's that he had very little to do with outside of getting lucky in recruiting (and having Sidney Green and Tito Horford really coaching behind the scenes), then you should blame him for 5 straight years of losing in the first weekend with loaded rosters. Blame him for mailing in recruiting when he thought he was leaving us. Blame him for 2 ****ty NIT berths. Not saying he's some horrific coach, but if he left, we could get better. Personally, I was happy when he left, and pissed when he returned.

But since you decided to make such a jackass comment, maybe I should start watching and coming on here when we lose to ask you how your savior is doing.

This has to be the absolute dumbest ****ing thing I've ever read.

I'm going to let the stupidity and total lack of logic in this post stand on it's own. Nothing more I need to say. Hypocrite.

What are you talking about I told you you look nice in your outfit. I'm sure the boys will love it when you wear it out this weekend...Good Luck & Have Fun!

Is this post for real?

Donovan won two NC's in basketball at UF; the guy deserves a street named after him and a solid gold statue outside the arena. Get out of here with this weaksauce.

You can't argue the point because you know absolutely nothing on the subject. It would take some critical thinking to understand wtf was going on. Before the '04's came along, fans weren't so elated with Billy. And the '04's, even your dumbass could have gotten an Elite 8 out of them...well you may very well have been detrimental and cost them an Elite 8, but any decent HS coach in FL could've gotten an Elite 8, and several would've been Final 4's and NC's. That team ran itself for the most part. Anthony Grant had a good deal to do with it too. Hell, Billy had to call AG to help out the 2nd year because he couldn't communicate with them, and AG spoke to the boys and it was all good.

But let me answer you in a way you'll actually understand....nuh uh, you stupid.

Yeah, you're actually right. Thanks for the fix. It's amazing that they want to give Billy credit for building chemistry last year, but this year's issues are all on the players.

I love having Donovan as our BB coach. My Donovan let-down is I'm afraid he doesn't think a dynamic big man
6'11" to 7' is worth an all-out recruit pursuit. Fear he doesn't like recruiting enough.
