    Mrs G8rRanger was watching it and opined the same RE WCJr. I am not the biggest fan of the current Prez but he was pretty funny and seemed to enjoy executing the theatrics. Love Coach's comments RE meritocracy. "Earn it!"

    I would add: I share a common trait with the players representing the University of Florida: I once was one, and graduated from there. I care about how every student comports themselves under the orange-and-blue banner. From what I saw, every UF representative present comported themselves with dignity and poise. I'm proud of them.

    I don't think Clayton is predisposed to smiling a lot, especially compared to someone like Richard who always has a great smile.

    Will does have great smile and the pres said he is handsome. I think you are right about Clayton but he seemed distracted, no big deal though.

    I don't know who Oliver is, but if you mean Olivier, he was most definitely there. Tourists were gawking at him according to Chris Harry.

    At least one of the 06/07 FF courts was installed as the court in our practice facility. Wooden basketball courts do not have an infinite lifespan and should be replaced ~10-15 years. Only the center court portions of those FF courts are on the wall of the practice facility.
    So, back to my original question: Did we purchase the court after our championship this year?

    Sounds like we need to win a championship at least every 10 years. You know, for the sake of the floors.

    Read the last page of the thread. Sort of an inside joke you would get if you saw my previous posts. No offense meant. AudiogatorJim would get it.

    From the article in post 410:

    Weather canceled a planned sightseeing excursion on the National Mall, but the Gators went to the US Capitol and got a tour led by Florida congresswoman Kat Cammack. She ferried the group into the bowels of the building for a short subway ride when they ran into Florida congressman Byron Donalds, who has announced his intention to run for governor in 2026.

    "I'm a Florida State Seminole, but congrats," Donalds told the team. "Enjoy the tour."

    Clayton, a noted FSU hater, wasn't having it.

    "We rolled you guys this year," Clayton shot back. "That was part of the tour."

    Classic!!!

    OK, let us get back to reminiscing about long gone Gainesville establishments.

    I loved the small bar at Casa Palermo.
