Bianchi

If there is one thing that I cannot wait for...it's to read the Orlando Sentinel tomorrow to see if Bianchi slits his wrists tonight. The new King of the Hill in the SEC is now in danger. Meanwhile the "little kitties" have been awakened.

Rock on Big Blue...let's take over the next century of basketball as well and put the last 3 years behind us. Florida fans have a couple of years' worth of memories to last them for another 100 years! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

This is not a btt post...just fyi...but I also find it funny that Bianchi and the Florida fans were elated and boasting that Billy had turned down UK...when in all actuality, he was just postponing turning them down too! Makes me laugh even more!

Well, here's Bianchi's take.

Seems like he is shedding no tears for the Gators. He has jumped onto the Orlando bandwagon with both feet.

...and when did winning (1) SEC Regular season championship, (2) SEC Tournament championships and (2) NCAA Championships over a two year period make you a dynasty??????

Back to back is impressive in today's college game, but I would think that you need to sustain it for more than 2 years to be called a dynasty.

Using that definition, San Francisco was a dynasty and Cincinnati was a dynasty ...... two back-to-back NCAA Champions. :shrug1:

This guy is a wack job. Donovan is not a saviour. His best skill has always been recruiting, which doesn't do much for you in the NBA. Tubby used to destroy him with less talented teams, how do you think he will do with a mediocure talented NBA team. I like Billy, I hope he does well, but he is not a x&o genious, which is more important in the NBA than college. I think he will struggle. Look back at Pitino and Calipari, they are both similar coaches to Donovan. Both were terrible NBA HC. All three are more salesman than strategists. There is nothing to sell in the NBA. It is an 82 game season, you can't talk your way throught things.

I don't know if this guy is joking or if he's just a joke.

You gotta be kidding me! Billy D's done well, but he certainly has not proven himself to be one of the greats of all time.

Dynasty?? 2 great years does not a dynasty make. How about the 8 or 9 years of tournament flameouts??

I guess Bianchi has to cover making a fool of himself by making a bigger fool of himself.

[WildcatDan]

Wow... This guy is putting the cart WAY before the horse. Shouldn't Mr Donovan actually DO something in the NBA before talking about him as if he is the greatest to ever coach there?

[Gunsmoke]

My prediction is Billy D will fall flat on his face with the gig he just signed on for.

[WildcatDan]

Mr Bianchi is backing up FAST on this now... lol... what a tool.

I'm so sick of Bianchi declaring Billy D a legend. Let him prove he is capable of grand results without the cast he's had the last two years and then we'll talk.

I doubt Gilligan would have had a successful show without the skipper and the rest of the crew....thats kinda how I'm feelin about Billy D.

[crazzedcats22]

WOW! What a backtrack on his part. This guy might be the worst sports writer in the country. He simply sucks at his job
