“Luckiest day”

EVER for

Gator basketball

was when

Billy Donovan

was hired…

He was 31

years old…

Now 46,

the erstwhile

“Billy the Kid”

is headed for

his 16TH SEASON…

Donovan’s “heroics”

are headlined by

TWO national

championships---

but there is

“far more”…

I do NOT think

“Gator Nation”

“amply

appreciates”

what Billy D

has achieved

at “a football

school”…

Donovan has

“dealt

beautifully”

with Florida

NOT having

“the basketball

mentality”---

of a Kentucky…

a Duke…or a Kansas…

“Billy D”

never “whines”---

staying positive

in pursuit of

SEC and

national excellence…

Donovan has

agreed to a

FIVE-season

contract extension…

Billy D will

be a Gator coach

“far longer”

than any football

or basketball

boss in school

history…

Donovan has

earned the

level of

“alumni love”

that is heaped

on Steve Spurrier…

Danny Wuerffel…

AND Tim Tebow…

It would be

proper if

Gator Nation

erected a

Billy Donovan

STATUE---outside

the O-Dome…

I’m Hubert Mizell,

and that IS what

I think.
