Florida's road back (to the 'elite' of college hoops)

[UFco2001]

I haven't been posting this year, but have been lurking some, and have been especially excited about how this team looks. We'll see!

Anyway, hadn't seen anyone post this yet, and just read it on ESPN. I'm getting too old for sports heroes, but Billy is the one I still have:

Totally unrelated sidenote: Since I got to UF as a student, fall of 1998, UF and FSU have SPLIT the basketball and football series 1-1 in 12 of 15 seasons. The other three seasons were 2001, 2005, and now 2012, where UF swept. This was the first sweep in Tallahassee! I don't know why, but for some reason it always means a lot to me that we at least continue with a split at worst in this every year. Strange.

Funny! I literally was thinking about this about two days ago. I was trying to remember how far back it was since we didn't beat FSU in hoops or on the gridiron in the same year. I guess it's earlier than 1998!

We swept fsu in baseball football and basketball in 2012.
