Ol' Kentucky home beckons Donovan

[FatCatDaddy]

Go, Billy.
Go to Kentucky.

Go now, with the door and arms wide open.

This is your destiny, your calling, your birthright, your opportunity.

You know what time it is, Billy?

The time is now.

Tubby Smith has motored to Minnesota, leaving behind the keys to the kingdom of college basketball that is Kentucky.

The guy NAILED it. Thanks for posting the link.

He might need a police escort to get to work for a few days, but he'll survive. ;)

Yes, Billy. Go to Kentucky.

All this hype about Billy D coming is a little frightening to me. Is it all hype? Who knows. Are we, as fans [wanting Billy to come], being set up for a huge disappointment? And what about the coach that ends up coming if Billy doesn't? How will the fans react? If he has a rough couple of years, will we say, "Billy would have had a better season". As one of my favorite characters says every time I watch Gone With the Wind...."I'll think about it tomorrow"! ;)

Good to see that there's still somebody in Florida who actually remembers where Florida basketball belongs in the hierarchy. :thumbup:lol:

Hey, Cathy, maybe Billy should call Mitch and say: "Oh, Mitch, whereever shall I go? whatever shall I do?" :D

Sorry. That one was too good to pass up. Just kidding.;)

The points you make are actually quite valid. Hopefully BD will join UK and it will all be a moot point.

Ain't it fun being a UK fan :ggrin: BigBlue75, no offense taken. I expected some comments. Trying to lighten things up a little.

You hit that one right on the head... I was just thinking the same thing.

Since we're doing movie references, here's another one for you Caddyshack fans that sums up how some UK folks feel right now:

"Oh, Billy, Billy, Billy, Billy, Billy Billy, Billy"
