YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HE’S TALKING ABOUT
Congrats to the Florida basketball team, presumably doing it real big in Gainesville. You have no idea what this means, which is what Joakim Noah is telling you here:
Nailing whole seabass to car hoods? Making love to trees? Oh, if Noah’s involved, all that and more.

Congrats to the Gators! Once Penn State gets a basketball team started, maybe we can play each other…

When is the Jim Delaney press conference about how the Big 11’s tough academic standards are preventing them from recruiting small white guys with 3 point shooting capabilities?
Congratulations guys!

Of course the Buckeyes lost; did you notice the little silver tabs on the sholders of their jerseys? That’s the velcro where they attach the red capes they wear to appear SUPER! Apparently, someone stole their capes.
As an aside, if Owen (?) the tOSU center is less than 29 years old, I’d be amazed. He sure as hell isn’t 18.

I will say this–for a young man you grew up in the impoverished ghettos of America, Noah actually does a good job of communicating. I mean, think about it, many of these guys didn’t get great educations at the inner city high schools they attended, and while Noah is definately rough around the edges, he seems to almost be intelligent.

Ragin,
Where are the Swedish/French ghettos in America? That kid was definitely in a private school or maybe even Tebowed into college.
Check that, it’s a private school. http://www.lawrenceville.org/
Real thuggish if you can get past the khakis and sweaters tied around the neck. He’s kicking it with Carlton Banks.

how cool was that. and the best part is that all those guys are genuinely awesome people. none of them get in trouble, and they all seem to actually enjoy playing college sports, instead of seeing it as a way to get a lot of money.

RaginCajunRebel says:
Sorry, I should have noted that my comment was complete sarcasm. Like the rest of America, I have been bombarded with Noah facts, i.e. who his mom and dad are, the fact that he speaks fluent French, the fact that he’s only 1/2 human, etc.
So yes, my comment was complete sarcasm. I hate Noah, no matter what Swindle tries to convince me of otherwise…his ghetto-ish rant at the end of the game only begins to explain why. He is about as hood as I am. Correction…I may actually be more ghetto than him. I’ve killed a man.

Speaking of Joakim’s mom, while I know she isn’t the type this website (and this reader) normally goes for (read: in the South, we like ‘em thick & curvy) can we get a good pic of Mrs. Noah from her Miss Sweeden/modeling days for Friday Cheesecake in honor of the Gator victory?
If not, I’m still waiting for more on the boobalicious misadventures of Tebow’s girlfriend/sister.

so you hate on a guy because he doesn’t speak “correctly”? the guy has lived all over the world. i’m sure that if he were in an english lit class, and needed to discuss something, he could speak very well. after winning two national championships in a row, he can talk however the fuck he wants to.

Papa Lou BSU says:
As someone who openly questioned back in January whether the sports gods would allow one school to hog the championship smorgasbord that the basketball Gators finished off last night, allow me to issue this mea culpa and congratulate our friends from Gainesville.
And while I’m not prepared to say this Florida team was better than the 91-92 Duke team that was the last to pull off a repeat, you can make a credible case for that. Florida never had to beat anyone as good as the ‘91 UNLV team during their run, but they also never needed a miracle buzzer-beater to beat anyone, either. Aside from the first 30 minutes of both the Purdue and Butler games, the Gators didn’t really break a sweat defending their title. That’s impressive as hell.
Seeing Buckeye fans cry again was well worth it.

That’s good stuff, Mike. However, I don’t know if we’re brothers from another mother…no one is quite sure where I came from…It’s been rumored that I was actually found in the swamps of Louisiana, being raised by a group of friendly black bears and loveable alligators before being adopted by human parents, but who knows?

adam–I’ve hated people for a lot less than that. And no need to drop such foul language, buddy. Get a grip, it’s not like I’m putting on my diapers and driving to Florida to mace Noah, then tie him up and beat him until he learns to not act like a douche bag.
But on second thought…

Yeah we were 2-19 at one point on 3’s and still down by less than 10. You’re the greatest Florida. Really, you were. No, seriously you’d probably shoot that well every time and we’d go 1-19, seriously, UNLV, Duke, UCLA, and now Florida. Has Billy left your ass yet?

Bill Walton proved to the world that potheads can persevere. Carmello proved that half way to an associates degree still pays like a motherfucker. Jerry Tarkanian proved that you can beat the NCAA…sometimes. Villinova ‘85 proved David can beat Goliath. John Wooden proved that nice guys finish first 10 out of 12 years.
Noah is a punchline to every joke not coming out of the state that looks like it’s pissing on Cuba.

to whomever asked about a quality 1978 photo of Noah’s mom, Cecilia Rodhe, I did a google image search and some photos exist. She’s gorgeous, but the photos are entirely too wholesome for this blog.
Anyway, Go Gators.

You have to wonder if Noah’s antics are all for draft day. No disrespect (well ok a little) Look how much Ronaldo Balkman’s stock shot up after his antics during the Cocks run in the SECT and NIT last year… went from a solid late 2nd rounder/ early 3rd rounder to 1st round pick for the Knicks. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a great player and I loved watching him play for South Carolina, but damn, did he sell it. I think Noah can see dollar signs like anyone else. My hope is to see Noah go Rodman weird in the NBA.
