This is A&M's future if they can find a Foley for AD. So many resources, even more than the Gators have. They'll be the western anchor of the SEC and the Gators the eastern.

Oh, and congrats Gators. It's getting boring congratulating your program. (Ouch, that's a big dick. How 'bout a reach-around, son?)

Florida mens tennis is a mystery to me. They should be even more dominant than the women honestly

Not only does the state of Florida have the 2nd best state for homegrown tennis talent, but pretty much every top junior moves to the state of Florida as well to train.

How many tennis academies does Florida have exactly? I would expect y'all to dominate tennis. Lot of homegrown talent.

Only 1 member of the team is from FL.

1 is from Russia
1 is from Australia
1 is from Maryland
1 is from Dallas
1 is from Indianapolis
1 is from Minnesota
1 is from Roswell, GA

I would assume many of the best academy players go pro instead.

Men seem to be getting better. Lost in the semis to the champ Virginia.

Scratch that they lost in the 2nd round to Virginia

That is where they are "from."

Likely, many of them spent time in Florida training

Could be but I don't know how to prove or disprove your assertion so we'll go with it.

USTA is building a new HQ in Orlando. There are a lot of tennis academies in Florida.

Congrats to Florida. I had a feeling we wouldn't beat you 3 times in a row. We should have met in the final but I guess the NCAA didn't want that, so the #3 Dores got the 4 seed.

Hope everyone can enjoy SEC success in tennis. We've been doing our part but since we never get mentioned around here, I'll update you on what we've been doing.

We lost to UF in semis this year, although we won the SEC regular season and tournament this year. We are 6-2 against UF the past 3 years. We won the National Championship in 2015 and lost in the finals to Stanford in 2016. In other words, we are a top program too.

See ya next year, Florida.
