GOP Leader: Abortion Is A 'Lifestyle Convenience'
I couldn't agree more with MJD's Gator appreciation -- this Florida team is tremendous, and if the Gators win tonight, they'll deserve to be mentioned among the all-time great college basketball teams.So now that we've established what the Gators are, let's establish what they are not: They're not an NBA team. They couldn't stay on the floor with an NBA team. Many people -- myself included -- enjoy college basketball more than the NBA, but we all fully understand that the quality of play in the NBA is much, much higher than the quality of play in the NCAA.
All of us, that is, except Mike Freeman, who today writes one of those columns that he probably doesn't really believe and instead just thinks it'll be provocative. His thesis: This Florida team would beat the five worst teams in the NBA. Freeman's column is so ill-considered that I thought about giving it the full Fire Joe Morgan treatment, but I just didn't think it was worth that much energy.
Put the Gators and the Grizzlies on a neutral floor, and if they play 10 times the Gators might be able to keep it within 20 points once. Greatness in college basketball should be appreciated in its own right and not cheapened with silly comparisons to the NBA. I look forward to Freeman's upcoming column about how the Tennessee women's team would beat the Knicks.
