Florida Gators - College Sports Powerhouse ?
Tuesday, January 09, 2007
The Florida Gators can easily be considered a premier athletic powerhouse now, with a convincing victory over the heavy-favorites Ohio State Buckeyes for the National Championship of the BCS. It isn't hard to recall that only 9 months ago that the basketball Gators enjoyed a glorious March Madness and went on to defeat the UCLA Bruins for the National Championship.
In light of such great achievements, I am drawn to the topic of great coaching. The University of Florida is the first college in history to have ever held the NCAA Men's Basketball National Championship title and the NCAA Football National Championship title at the same time. These amazing headlines wouldn't be possible without basketball head coach Billy Donovan and football head coach Urban Meyer. Personally, I have been observing Urban Meyer's progression through the years since his time at Bowling Green State University. Make no mistake about it, as much as I am a Michigan Wolverines fan as well as an Ohio State Buckeyes fan, I have a lot of respect for what Urban Meyer has done for the football programs at BGSU, Univ. of Utah and Univ. of Florida within short periods of time.
Once again, Congratulations to the Florida Gators, Coach Billy Donovan and Coach Urban Meyer !
