Florida Bball is much better than Aggie Bball
- Thread starter catorano
- Start date
Yeah, and if you check out who owns the SEC's All Sports Trophies,
you'll find that ain't all that UF is better than aTm at.
In fact, you should review the last 29 consecutive Top 10 finishers
for the National All Sports Trophy, known as the Directors Cup.
UF 20 - 17 @ aTm,,,, so much for the ninnies that make up the twelfth sissies....
And our 3 Heisman QB's didn't have to sell their sigs for to get their beer/party money....
However, it looks to me like in-FAMOUS Shamous was able to make JF look a bit cleaner...
Making me believe that the Heisman no longer has a 'character' component to it...
Apparently on the field football talent is all that it takes, and both certainly have that much.
JMOHO's of course.

Re: What gave it away for you?
" Florida Bball is much better than Aggie Bball"
Was it the UF 34 - 17 aTm at the half that did it for you?
Or was it the UF 35 - 19 second half that turned on the lights?
UF 69 - 36 aTm
Rebound Margin UF 57 - 27 aTm for a +30 in rebounds.
While the Gator's defense held aTm to 26% shooting.
With about 6 minutes left in the game, BillyD started putting in the walk-ons....
Otherwise, it could have been much worse.
“Florida's a great defensive team,” Texas A&M coach Billy Kennedy said.
“We had our opportunities early to score, but not many. When we had our
opportunities to make free throws and lay-ups, we couldn't score,
but Florida had a lot to do with it.”
But hey, don't feel to bad, you're not alone on UF's Hit-List:
#3 UF 19-2, 8-0 SEC:
On a 13 game win streak, and a 27 game Home Win Streak.
(ho-hum on your 12th man Kyle Field -- UF 20 - 17 aTm)
Can any of your teams play defense, or was that not taught in the
ole Big 12/whatever?

Yep, it sure it, cause it looks like the CAT got the cat-rammer's tongue...
Crickets the size of a brontosaurus.....
No dumpster fire at aTm's B-Ball facility, the entire building looks to be on fire...

Re: What gave it away for you? Update...
#3 UF 23-2, 12-0 SEC, with the Regular Season SEC Championship likely in da-bag.
A 1-Seed is also Likely.
They are on a 17 game win streak, and a 29 game home win streak.
Both of those streaks are UF School Records BTW.
PS
How'd you like the Gator's Men's & Women's Track teams on Saturday?

Re: SEC Player of the Week named....
UF 67 - 58 UT -- UF 69 - 59 UK -- Florida came into the game against UK as
a two-and-a-half to three-point underdog at Rupp Arena. Sorry Cal-lie
Florida senior PG Scottie Wilbekin was named SEC player of the week, the
league announced Monday. Wilbekin, a 6-foot-2, 176-pounder from The Rock
school in Gainesville, won after averaging 22 pts, 4 asts, 3 rbs and 2.5 stls in
wins at Tenn and at 14th-ranked UK. Wilbekin's 21 pts against Tenn on Tues.
were a career-high before he topped it with his 23-point performance at Rupp
on Sat. He dished 8 asts and recorded ZERO turnovers in 71 minutes of action
this week. Wilbekin went an impressive 21-of-24 (88%) from the charity stripe,
including a notable 18-of-20 in the 2nd half. While 16 of the 22 points he
averaged on the week came in the 2nd half. A local Gainesville 2-3 star Sr player
is sometimes better than a MickyD AA, and is always better for a 'team' than a
selfish 1&done athlete is. These are the kinds of players that really show the
true talent level of a coach like Billy-D
If Wilbekin didn't get it, then Prather would have imoho. Prather, came into
the UK game leading the SEC in field-goal percentage (61.2%), finished 8 of 9
from the floor and 8 of 12 from the FT line (24 pts). He also came up with 2 of
his 4 rebounds in big spots. One came on a defensive rebound with 1:08 left
and another on an offensive rebound with 1:23 remaining. On the offensive
rebound, 6-6 Prather out jumped and was then fouled (mugged) by the 4 cats
that were surrounding him, and made 1 of 2 FT's to extend UF's lead to 65-59.
And the Gator's finally came through as a team at the FT line at Rupp, 22 of 29
(78.6%). In their road wins over Tenn and UK, UF is 78% (39-50) from the FT line.
================
LAS VEGAS ? No. 1 Florida 11-0 completed a perfect weekend at the
Easton Desert Classic on Sunday, defeating No. 24 Minnesota 15-2 (6 innings).

Re: Hey cat-rammer, your Uglies dumpster fire,,,

How about you let me know how many of your 20-something sports teams have
rankings that are in the Top 5 in the Nation, in football, or in any other sport that
your school sponsors, in or out of SEC competion?
#1 Gators Women's Softball continues to blow-out their opponents.
#1 Gator Women's Gymnastice continues to roll with another perfect 10, (vault).
#1 M-Swimming-Diving
#2 M-Track-Indoor
#2 Gator Men's B-Ball moves up to #2 in the AP Poll, with road wins @ UT & UK.
~ PG Wilbekin received SEC PoW as his accolades continued to pile up later Mon.
afternoon, when Wilbekin was named as one of 23 finalists for the Bob Cousy Award,
given to the nation's top college point guard.
#4 W-Lacrosse, Gilroy was named the ALC Offensive PoW.

#5 W-Tennis

Others with rankings include:

#8 W-Swimming-Diving
#10 W-Soccer

#16 W-Golf
#20 Gator Baseball team has moved up 3 spots from preseason #23.
#26 M-Golf
So, is aTm just another One-Pony Show, Tex Football factory, or a successful
Total Sports Program???
Dumpster Fires Indeed....
PS -- (Will's 3rd Top #6 Recruiting Class (4-2-6) put any fires out)
Now, until you can at least win your SEC football division, (like Mizzou has already done)
maybe you should consider not drawing so much attention to your own,,,

UF 71 - 66 AU -- Fr MickyD AA PG K.Hill is out with a groin injury from UK.
Against AU, it was C Patric Young's night: 17 pts, 7 rbs, 3 asts, 2 blks,
and 3 for 3 from the FT line in the critical final minute of the game. It
seems like every game, it's a different Gator stepping up to help the 'team'
get the win.
Young is only a 57% FT shooter, but he went 7 of 9 (78%) vs AU.
2. UF 24-2, 13-0 SEC (while Syracuse lost to unranked BC - 1. UF???)
Current Gator Streaks:
13 Consecutive SEC Wins
18 Consecutive Overall Wins

The Gator's Sr C Patric Young received an honor off the court on Thursday
when he was named to Capital One's Academic All-America team.
Already a 2x SEC Scholar Athlete of the Year, Young maintains a
3.37 GPA at UF in Telecommunications. He's on track to earn his degree
in May.
I wonder when the last time, if ever, either kensucky or Cal-Cheat had a
player named an Academic AA or SEC Scholar Athlete of the Year?
For right now, Gator PG Scottie Wilbekin is the odds on favorite for being
named the SEC Basketball Player of the Year. Against other SEC teams:
Stats - 14.7 ppg, 3.4 asts, 40.7% 3pt, 80% FT's and he is the center
of attraction for one of the best defenses in the SEC and in the Nation.
------------
~ #1 Gator Softball (12-0) is set to host the upcoming Lipton Invitational.
--------------
~ UF Swimming & Diving teams add SEC Titles.
ATHENS, Ga. ? The top-ranked Florida men jumped into 1st place in the
overall standings after 2 more individual wins on the 3rd day of competition
at the SEC Championships. The Gator women earned their 1st 2 SEC
Championships of the meet, and stand in 2nd place out of the 12-team field.
The UF Men have captured 7 out of a possible 9 swimming championships so
far, which is two more than the reigning conference champions had in 2013.
The Gators executed in prelims and put 10 men in the 'A' final and 5 women
in the 'A' finals on day three.

Vandy had won 4 of their last 5 in Memorial Gym against #1 Ranked teams....
It's a VERY tough place to play,,,, but NO WIN for them this time around!
The Gators (26-2, 15-0 SEC) won their 20th straight and clinched a share of the SEC
regular season title. Florida can clinch the SEC crown outright with either a UK loss
Thursday night against Ark or a win Saturday at home against LSU.
Sixth-Man SF Fenny-Smith was just 1 of 26 from the arc, but with 30 seconds left in
the game, he drained a clutch 3 pointer to give UF the final winning margin. But why
would he take that kind of shot at such a critical time in a game? "My teammates did
a great job," Finney-Smith said. "They kept telling me to shoot it. I got shots up after
practice with Scottie, Frazier, Pat. Everybody just kept telling me to shoot. You can
shoot, but shoot the ball with confidence. Every time I was left open, I shot it."

UF is FIRST EVER in the SEC to go 18-0 in the Regular Season.
Regular Season Champs in 3 of the last 4 seasons.
UF then went 3-0 to become the SEC Tourney Champ.
Gone to the Elite 8 for the last 3 Consecutive Years.
Gone to the Sweet 16 for the last 4 Consecutive Years, so far.
In Gator lore, the B-2-B NC's are called the Oh-4's, (arrived in 2004).
This group of Sr's are now being called the Perfect Ten's (2010).
They are the ONLY team in SEC History to go a perfect 21-0 in SEC play.
================
All season I've called the Big Twelve/10 OVER-RATED.
The media-morons, then the NCAA Committee put 7 of their team into the Dance.
They only put 3 SEC teams in the Dance calling the conference weak...
Florida 33-2 - 7-2 vs Top 25 - 10-2 vs Top 50 - SEC
Arizona 31-4 - 4-1 vs Top 25 - 11-3 vs Top 50 - PAC 12
Louisville 30-5 - 3-1 vs Top 25 - 6-5 vs Top 50 - AAC
Kansas ---- 25-9 -- 5-5 vs Top 25 - 12-7 vs Top 50 - Big 12/10
Kentucky - 25-10 - 2-4 vs Top 25 - 4-8 vs Top 50 - SEC
Tennessee 22-12 - 2-5 vs Top 25 - 5-6 vs Top 50 - SEC
2 seed Mich sent 7 seed Tx home.
8 seed UK sent 9 seed K-St home.
8 seed Gonzaga sent 9 seed OkSt home.
12 seed N.D.St sent over-rated 5 seed 1&done Ok home.
The Best Conference in the Nation is 3-4
While the supposedly 'weak' SEC's 3 teams are 5-0 in the Dance so far.

Just to get to where they presently are, the Gators had to beat a
Sweet 16 team 3 times (Tn) and a Final Four team 3 times (UK),
and that was before the NCAA Tourney even started.
IMOHO, winning the SEC + Tourney while going 21-0 was tougher
than making it to the NCAA Final Four. SEC Weak -- my azzzz.....

Why did UF play 11 Seed Dayton in the Elite Eight?
Because over-rated 2 Seed Cans-azz had already been flushed by
Pac 12, 10 Seed Stanford. (besides - UF 67-61 KU Dec 10th)
So UF wins the S. Div. with their 4 double digit victories.
Why does UF play 7 Seed U-Conn in the Final 4?
Because over-rated 3 Seed Iowa State has already been flushed
by the East Div. winner, 7 Seed U-Conn
And if UF makes the NC game, why won't they be playing
some other OVER-RATED Big12 team?
Because:
In the West Division:
5 Seed OK got flushed by freakin' 12 Seed N.D.-State
6 Seed Baylor got flushed by 2 Seed Wis
9 Seed Ok-St got flushed by 8 Seed Gonzaga
And in the Midwest Division:
7 Seed Tx got flushed by 2 Seed Michigan (UK 75-72 Mich)
9 Seed K-St got flushed by 8 Seed UK-SEC
The Big (over-rated) Twelve's 3 best teams were ALL
from the Dance, by lower seeded tournament teams.
The 'weak' SEC had 3 teams in the Sweet 16 and 2 of the Final Four.
I wonder what would have happened,,, IF the SEC was any good?
The Big Twelve/10 had ZERO teams of 7 make it to the Elite Eight.
Now all of the big12's 'weak sister - bottom feeders' have gone home.
Does the NCAA Committee or any media-moron still want to claim that
the SEC was weak, and that the Big 12 was the toughest conf in B-Ball?
"The best, of the Best, of the BEST,,, SIR." MiB
Suggestion: The Big Twelve/10 should replace Mizzou with Mizzou-St,
and aTm with the Sam Houston Institute of Technology, (SH-IT)
Anything to get some 'quality' back into their conference...
==========
And welcome again to the Aggies of Tx A&M, we're proud and happy
to have you guys as our SEC Brothers.
(where Tx and Ok knew they couldn't compete and/or steal all the $$)
B-Ball Trivia:
The 'WEAK' SEC vs The Mighty Big Twelve/10:
In the last 10 years, there have been 4 instances of 2 teams from the
same conference in the Final Four. They are:
SEC: 2 (2006-14)
BE: 1 (2009)
Big Ten/12: 1 (2005)
ACC: 0
B12: 0 (that ZERO is the same number that made the Elite 8 in 2014)
I remember another time when 2 SEC teams were in the Final Four (1994).
It was UF's first trip, back when Lon Kruger was coach, and Nolan Richardson
was at Arkansas with his 40 Minutes of Hell. The Piggies went on to win it all.
Seems to me that UF now plays something similar to that '40 Minutes of
Hell' style of ball, wearing the other team down, or 'grinding it out' as they
say, with a heavy use of the press and a never let up 'team' defense...
* Also During the BCS Era, only one conference had 2 teams in the same
BCS-NC game, the SEC with Bama vs LSU. (SEC went 9-1 in BCS-NC)
The Gators' 30-game win streak is the longest single-season win streak
in SEC History, surpassing #2 Kentucky's 27-game streak during the 1995-96
season. LSU's 26-game win streak during the 1980-81 season ranks third.
Nice Company: UF is only the 3rd team to win 4 games en route to Final 4
by double digits while holding each opponent to less than 70 pts, joining
MichSt (2000) and Duke (1999).
2014 NCAA Tourney Win $Money$ Units:
The SEC already has 11 units (wins) with just 3 teams (so far). Of which
aTm and Mizzou will get their 'equal shares' instead of getting stiffed...
The Big Twelve/10 only got 6 Units with 7 teams and they're already gonzo.
Gator Coach Billy Donovan is 35 -11 (.761) in the NCAA Tournaments,
for #2 in the Nation among all 'active' coaches. #1 is .003 better at .764.
Oh BTW, both are 2014 Final 4 coaches in the 'weak' SEC.....
BillyD is also #1 in SEC History for Total NCAA Tourney Wins (35).
~ Number 2 is Kentucky's Adoff Rupp with 30 Tourney Wins.
Have a nice day...
