Damn.

Was hoping for a slightly easier opponent, but we'll take the challenge. Being an underdog this tournament hasn't been unusual for us, and even if we lose, I don't expect we'll go down as easily as many think.

Go Flyers!

IMO, nothing can match the magic of March Madness

it can truly be the pinnacle of sports entertainment at times. the first few days are definitely unparalleled

I'm sorry you have to keep putting up with Florida in the tourney:(

this is the best result from a bad situation (I think alfraud got himself like an extra 50K this year for winning the pac-32587439572439 tournament and making the steve-16) I'm glad they got florida this year

in previous years, obviously not the case--not that fouland did anything with multiple nba starters / stars against cal's sat prodigy and the stiffs either

UCLA fans got to hate Florida so much. Seems like UF puts them out of the tourney every time they play.

Eh not as bad as the loss against the Memphis cheaters when Howland had 2 NBA all-stars and an NBA point guard on his team. Zero excuses for that team not winning it all.

It's ok. They gotta make up for their embarrassing football season.

Lol. I'm still wondering what their AD (Foley) was smoking by keeping Muschamp around for another year. He's still the best AD in the country, but he had to have been on something that day when he retained Muschamp.

We don't sell out enough home games or generally have the attendance to call ourselves that.

O'Dome has actually been really packed and loud this year. Our fans are also actually traveling to games, but for some weird reason they are pretty quiet. Takes a monster play for them to get loud. It's probably because barely any students travel because they are only allotted like 50 tickets or something.
 
UF is now a basketball school, and UCLA is now a football school.
That's a negative. UCLA is gonna be know as a basketball,softball,baseball,soccer,volleyball before football..


:(


Gata gg's man.


E: Branduil, YNB sucked at UCLA. He doesn't count. Farmar was better than him in college
 
fuck, nothing only do I not get to see Sabotage tonight (theater said fuck that 12:05 showing, let's close up shop for the night), but SDSU doesn't pull off the upset :(

Guess we have to play Cinderella killer yet again.

yeah, we've been pretty good in recent years beating George Mason, Norfolk State, and Dunk City, but one of the original Cinderellas (Gonzaga) got their fame for beating us in the Sweet 16 back in 1999.

also Butler in 2011, which is what I was thinking of
also if you lose to Dayton that's 4 straight years of losing one game away from the Final Four :p

I don't think the four UF seniors are going to let that happen. Not that Dayton doesn't pose a serious obstacle (they're a deep team and play a style that has given Gators fits in the past e.g. Auburn), but I have confidence the Gators will gut this out and advance to the Final Four.

Go Gators!

Yeah, I think Billy and crew will end their elite eight exit streak on Saturday.

I'm excited for tomorrow. We've been playing at a really high level for weeks now. Just hope we don't revert back to our regular season badness.

Yeah, UL vs UK in the Sweet 16 is a pretty dang awesome matchup. Hope the Wildcats continue advancing and knock out the Cardinals. Likewise, I hope Tennessee beats Michigan. Go SEC! :)
