Franz Beard’s Basketball Confidential

 |  May 1, 2007

If you're a Florida basketball fanatic, then the last two years have given you enough to go cruise control the rest of your life when you stroll down memory lane.

Of course, three days after the championship game Billy put that to rest. What’s interesting is that certain posters over at Kitty Litter are claiming that the deal was done and Billy somehow backed out at the last moment. Truth is, there never was a deal and nothing close to it nor was there ever any serious interest in the job.
