Champs, again. (Again).

The Gators have done it again. Winning the national championship, over Ohio State. Again. Just like they won the football title over Ohio State in January, and just like they won last year's basketball championship.

Since it's also the first night of Passover tonight, I say:

If the basketball Gators had only won two SEC titles in a row, Dayenu.
If the basketball team had only won six straight over former SEC power Kentucky, Dayenu.
If the basketball team had only one last year's national title, Dayenu.
If the football team had only won six straight against its three biggest rivals (FSU, Tennessee, and Georgia), Dayenu.
If the football team had only won the 2006 national title, Dayenu.

And yet, the basketball team wins AGAIN tonight, once again showing we own Ohio State and their overrated thug center, Greg Oden. The Gators have now won a basketball-football-basketball "triple crown" of sorts, a feat that may never be repeated. How many schools can seriously claim to contend for titles in both major sports?

The University of Florida has the greatest athletic program in the country, and they proved it tonight. It is great to be a Florida Gator, baby!!

(And the ridiculous Billy Donovan-to-Kentucky rumors are just that. Rumors. Not only would leaving Gainesville for Lexington be a lateral move, I'd say at this point, it would be a downgrade. Donovan would have to be the biggest fool in the world to leave UF, and he's not.)
