Agai when was that statement made? It was made 4 to 5 weeks ago. Youre acting like I said it last night.

I think it's cool that you own your opinions.
Is this still your opinion or has it changed?

Again my response about the 5 teams I listed were to Verlander saying they were top 5 teams of last 30 years, which I do not agree with.

Then I stated the Arkansas teams in 94-95 may have been better. The Alabama one was out there, but it started a fire storm.

Im retarted because I listed a team that could play different styles went to back to back national title games and also would match up with any team they played and then force you out of your style when they could?
That Arkansas team was pretty damn good and they had the depth. They would have matched up very well with the Florida teams.

Yeah, but the Gator team did what you listed below 2 years in a row. UK had a good run THAT YEAR. The Gators had a great run 2 years in a row, while taking every teams best shot. It is almost impossible to repeat in a one and done tourney but they dominated TWO years in a row, winning just about every game by nearly double digits. Something the 96 UK team obviously didn't do twice.
I'll say it again, I'd put that team up against any team in the last 40 years. They were challenged 1 time (Georgetown game) in 2 years of the SECT and the NCAAT. That's an incredible run.

I'll say this about the 2006 and 2007 back to back Florida teams...
They are definitely in the discussion as one of the better "teams" of all time in college basketball.
But were they the most talented or most dominant? No, and you can probably name a ton of teams, depending on your opinion, that could beat them.
I will say this though: Those guys won 18 post season games in a row, and were money in the tournament.
In a post season scenario, i would not pick them to lose to any other team from any other era that you put in front of them.

Maybe retarded is too harsh a term. I guess you just have some inexplicable bias in favor of teams from the late 80s and early 90s.

Again did you even read where I listed why I put more of the "earlier" teams higher than the more "modern" teams?
The fact they all stayed and played as a unit is usually what makes them higher ranked in my opinion. I have stated that I put Florida repeat team as top 10-15 team.

As I said earlier, that UK team also went to the NC in '97 (lost in OT to Arizona) and won in '98. Three years in a row in the NC game. Something THAT Florida team didn't do because quite frankly, they didn't return.

Ok

And did you read where I said they were a top 10-15 team of the 30 year span or are you just completely ignoring that part of what I stated?

And you are vastly biased about a Florida team, in my opinion.

Tar Heels '09 run was better than that. They didn't have a game in the tourney that was less than double digits.

I'm actually trying to be objective, but yeah, I am biased. I'll admit that the '96 UK team was probably better than the '07 UF team.
But regardless of my bias, the fact that every team you listed as better than that UF team was within a 10-year span, including mentioning an Alabama team that didn't even make the Final Four, is retarded. Just admit it.
I'm sure that most would have that UF team much higher in ranking teams from the past 30 years than you do. You love teams from your glory days; we get it.
Night.
