"Back home from the game. An observation that will last for me." |
|
Don't know squat about basketball, but tears welled watching the Gators destroy Kentucky with my father. He hasn't used his season tickets much this season because Mom can't really go. She hasn't been the same after being struck by a golf cart at a Gator hoops function last year. Anyhow, when Dad became a Gator, he never dreamed his teams could become so good. He saw our football teams endure the Golden Era of losses but eventually win three national championships. He watched our basketball program play miserably in the "new" Alligator Alley but now back-to-back national title banners hang from the O'Dome. Today, he saw Florida thrash Kentucky--to the surprise of NO ONE while completing an undefeated SEC season. My father is almost 94 years old. The Gator successes he witnessed occurred in the last 20 years. Most of us are decades younger. We are lucky as hell to have seen them already. |
