I have been studying in Spain since January. The game started at 3:30 am and we had to pay a bartender to stay open for us. At 6 am she bought us all shots! I am so proud of the boys! GO GATORS!!!!!

The Gator Nation is strong in Tampa, and it was great to be surrounded with fellow alumni and fans during the game.  GO GATORS!  Don’t forget to check www.tampagatorclub.com for more UF events happening locally!

The only thing that could have made this sweeter, is if I was in G’ville to celebrate with all the other Gators.
Great job guys!!  All us alumni are very proud of you!

Indeed, it is great to be a Florida Gator.  How proud I am as a UF grad of Coach Billy Donovan and the Men’s Basketball team, now the 2006 National Champions—the first national champion in the state of Florida.  No longer is UF just a “football school”; what with achievements in basketball, tennis, swimming, baseball, track and field, soccer, and golf, UF has a strong multi-faceted athletic program.  Kudos to Jeremy Foley, the entire athletic staff and the UF Administration. GO GATORS!

I can remember in 1996 when Florida won its football championship.  Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined such a thing back in ‘96.  As for basketball, outside of Norm Sloan, Dwayne Schintzius, and Vernon Maxwell, in 1996, I didn’t even know Florida had a basketball team…::cough cough::  What a phenomenal job Donovan has done.  Hard work, persistance, FAITH, and PATIENCE definitely pay off.  All prerequisites for being a Gator fan.  GO GATORS.

Awesome job, Gators!  Way to work as a team and put 100% of your hearts into every minute of the game!  You guys are a class act - I’m so proud I could just burst!  Thanks Coach Donovan for your incredible leadership and for one of the best pre-game motivational speeches ever given.  Once again, it’s the year of the GATOR!

UNREAL!!

The Gators scortched bracketville to the ground!!  AWESOME BABY!!

6 years to the day, UF lost to MSU 89-76 in the title game. Last night Billy “The King” Donovan exorcised the demons that haunted him.

Hey Billy!  I’m glad turned down Coach Pitno’s original advice to remain on Wall Street.  CONGRATS to you for taking a big risk—-now you’re living the Dream!  I wish I had your courage and focus!  Keep up the great work you’re truly an inspiration to all!!

GO GATORS!!  Class of 1990

I Couldn’t be Happier.I’m an Alumnus,Class of 1963..Maybe now Florida won’t be thought of Only as a Football University. Its a Well Rounded Educational University that happens to have Great Football and Basketball Teams.
A Pround Gator.

If your not a Gator, then you must be Gator bait!  Way to go Billy D. and the “kids”.  Awesome Baby!

I just want to say, “WAY TO PLAY - WHAT A TEAM, and COACH”!!!  I also want to thank all of you for being such classy guys.  I took my son (15) to watch you guys on Jan. 3rd as a belated Christmas present.  He was so thrilled.  After the game all of you signed his poster for him and really treated him like he was special.  It is great to see you treating your fans like they mean something to you!!!  We couldn’t be happier for you and look forward to next year!!! 
LOVE THE GATORS!!!

Congratulations to Billy Donovan and the Gator Boys!  You make us all proud to be the Florida Gators.  Cheers from the Rocky Mountain Gator Club.

I have watched or listened to every game this entire season from the beginning of the year’s tournaments and I saw then that they had a very special group of guys that you could instantly see how they worked so well together. I have been a long standing “Gator” fan for many years, my son is in his 2nd year at Florida and I am very proud to be a “Gator Mom”!!!

This pony-tailed tower of a young man was what drew me to watch the games. Of course I wanted him and his team to win the Championship. It’s their time and I believe it was NOAH’s time!
He’s very entertaining, very talented and very attractive on the court. Congratulations Gators!

The Gators had a truly great run and showed that good teamwork trumps a group of individual stars. When one guy was off on a particular night someone else picked them up. I’m so happy for Billy, the boys, UF, and the state of Florida. GO GATORS. CO 80

I am a DIE-HARD gator fan Born and raised in Florida serving the navy in Norfolk, so i have to give a SHOUT OUT to the boys from the U of F FIGHTING Gators.  Everyone i work with said they had NO chance and i laughed.  Gators lay wait and then grab there prey and hold on to it like the basketball time WAY TO go Mr. Donovan.  Keep the FIRE going GO GATORS
