Not a big deal. Just keep winning and get ready for the big dance.

Not looking for sunshine, don't have to...I see it every day. Two NC in BB in last 10 years, Two also in FB. The number of schools that can make that same claim is very limited. I guess you have to win them every year to satisfy some people on here. There is always room for improvement but a "history of fading down the stretch" does not match up with above record. Your glass is half empty there Player, mine is half full. To each his own.

If you compare our legacy to Georgia, then you may have a point.
But I compare us to the very best because I expect nothing less.
And that means Kentucky in basketball and Alabama in football.
Feel free to make all the excuses for us that you want since 1910.
Princeton has more hardware.

Yea two basketball titles, two football titles, multiple college World Series appearances... Back to back basketball championships mix with a football championship with the second basketball championship.... Yea Kentucky and Alabama nowhere close. Alabama and Kentucky are still looking up to Florida, trying to figure out the blueprint on how to championships in multiple sports, not just one.

Hasn't UF won the capital one cup for the last two years? Overall sports dominance.

I actually have the same view as theplayer...it's rooted in our football performancein the per-spurrier years of the 80s. We've won several championships since then but whenever we get upset I always think " not surprised that the gators choke again".

Truth. Out of all the teams that are decent (meaning make it to the NCAA's or the NIT), only two don't end with a loss. Chances are we'll be one of those teams this year. Even if we win 5 and lose in the finals, there will be plenty of people on here bashing Billy about how he can't win close games or something ridiculous.

Recent success apparently makes you forget all about the past.
We opened our doors in 1853 yet only started sports into the 1900's.
Our trophies may be newer...but you can count them all on one hand.

You must have an awfully big hand, unless you are limiting your comments to basketball NCs.

3 Football + 2 basketball = 5 fingers (1 hand).
You can pretend all you like, but these are the only 2 sports that matter in the world.
Besides, we should have another 5 in baseball by now...but don't even have one.
If you want to count total sports titles...we look pathetic compared to a Stanford, UCLA or USC.
And those schools are younger than us with 100+ titles to our 20-something...just keeping it real.
Not saying that I'm not proud of my Gators, but let's call a spade a spade.

...You need another college to follow. I noticed a lot of empty seats at UM games. Maybe you should grab one?
