Enough people consider your reasons for being a UF fan tenuous enough that they'd readily believe you jumped ship. And God knows there are believable reasons you could have given: 1) Joakim Noah should have gotten three technicals last night, and finally got you on the haters' side; 2) College sports is supposed to be all about sponteneity and excitement, and one school winning the last three major titles would destroy that; 3) The referees have clearly been giving Florida the Dwyane Wade treatment, and that sort of blatant cheating has worn on you; 4) You come from a Big Ten school, and you realize now, at the end, that you just can't sell out your Big Ten roots this badly, and 3 months after doing it in football: Go Buckeyes. <BR/><BR/>I think it would have worked. And even if not, would have been worthy of a good chuckle.TJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14923521765537437204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-12885302308715366802007-04-01T12:18:00.000-04:002007-04-01T12:18:00.000-04:00So here's the question. All this "teams are so mu...So here's the question. All this "teams are so much better this year" talk. Is that all a myth? <BR/><BR/>First, 3 of the best teams in the tournament last year turned around and made the final four this year. I understand that Georgetown and UCLA added pieces to make themselves better, and that the UF players (particularly Horford) have gotten better, but is taht improvement overestimated?<BR/><BR/>Second, people have been going on and on about the increased quality of play this tournament, but could you really tell a difference, quality-wise, between last nights games and last year's final four beatdowns? I was expecting a great matchup in the early game, and instead was treated to some ugly ugly basketball. It was still fairly entertaining to watch for a while, but no one would confuse it with great fundamental basketball. <BR/><BR/>I don't know. It's been bothering me all tournament. Maybe I just haven't watched enough basketball in my life to really tell the difference between good basketball and bad basketball, but at least last year games were competitive and exciting (until the final weekend). This year the boring first two weekends were supposed to lead to 3 great, well-played basketball games this weekend. I just don't see it.TJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14923521765537437204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-73233750196812425352007-04-01T12:15:00.000-04:002007-04-01T12:15:00.000-04:00Damn!
