It's basketball time in Tennesseeee....I mean Gatorville.


When we landed in Gainesville the Navy was already there getting for an air show this weekend. Saturday morning the team bus was parked outside as we were about to go to a "shoot around" over at the arena. It was a hoot to ride on the team bus and bust on the kids and also spend 15 minutes talking to Bruce. The shoot around wasn't what I thought it would be since they just shot some balls and talked about the tip off. Bruce explained later that .....he didn't believe for a minute...BUT...it could be possible that the cameras around the arena "could be" used to watch any certain drills.......and he all laughed. They were nice enough at UF to also give us a tour of the football stadium. A very nice buffet was setup in the their version of club seating including apple cobbler....my favorite!!!!! The arena at UF is actually divided into four sports.....swimming, gymnastic, track and field and a little basketball.......

Well, it was basketball time as the UT boys ran onto the floor, practiced some shots, were introduced and then it's showtime. It was the Noah and Horford show to say the least.....after watching these fellow play live, I can see why they won a national title...the only word is WOW. The last picture shows what kind of day it was.....it was a slam dunk for the Gators......

If you do remember back UT beat UF twice last year.....and UF ended up taking the whole dance back home to Gainesville.
