So, first, Billy Donovan backs off his "promise" to stay at UF. He then signs a monster (phil jackson money) contract with the Orlando Magic. He's always had NBA dreams, so it's somewhat accepted by most folks outside of Gator Nation.

Now, after agreeing (signing?) the contract, the press conferences, the media tours, Billy Donovan is backing out of his Magic contract to instead stay in Gainesville.

At what point do people stop doing business with him? Well, probably when he stops winning, although I'd imagine any and all hopes he has for the NBA are now forever lost.

The majority of Gator fans I've spoke with no longer like Billy, in fact, he's Shaq to their Orlando and that venom might not change over night. I'm sure the mood around here in Otown has quickly soured on the man, and after losing all his starters to the NBA, he'll not likely enjoy the same success he has over the last few years up in Gainesville. The remorse he felt for signing that Magic contract may be the exact opposite when NBA teams no longer trust him, he's not winning as much in Gainesville, and 50% of the fans spit in his general direction.

I got a new term for waffling over business decisions -- "Billy Business".

Kathryn of course is recovering from a deep depression still. I could write on and on about the SEC in general and how phenomenal the conference looks right now, but there's nothing I can say that the Best Damn Band in the Land can't say for me... Enjoy (and go knights.... one day.)

Just a quick video flashback to one year ago at the Marshall game. The day the UCF student body woke up.

UCF vs. UF is today. A lot's changed since 1999, the last time these two teams met. A new coach, a new league, and an entirely different set of kids. Hopefully O'Leary fixed some things this past week. If we play a perfect game, with just a tad bit of luck on our side, this could be the game that turns us into this year's BCS buster.
