Now that Dragic retired, I would love to see him on the podcast too!
-
Crazy how Coach Billy D turned UF into a power house basketball school. Definitely the foundation was laid by those 2 major pieces to that program.
-
I already appreciate the level of detail in the podcast. The fact that you all have a team breaking down the clips and timestamping is big for me. Can't wait to dig into these episodes.
-
Another terrific show. UD & MM...keep it going!
-
Billy Donovan underrated Champion Coach
-
Love Billy’s laugh he loves his former players and the game. Love it
-
Two authentic, real Guys U.D. and Mike Miller "The OG's" is already becoming one of my favorite pods, these 2 have that Quentin Richardson and Darius Miles (Knuckleheads) chemistry with the interviews, just a cool laid back vibe! 💯

As a longtime Gator basketball fan, this is gold. Just amazing. Thanks so much!

Billy Donovan is hilarious. Is my 1st time seeing his personality out in the open. He's great! I kinda love him now. Love his ideas and opinions about the in and out of the basketball and college basketball. He was such a great guess
-
Great interview. Love Billy Donovan. I hope the Bulls have patience with him. Bulls are playing better with Lavine out.
-
This was awesome! Billy Donovan is a legend along with these guys who built the foundation of the team who made it to '99-'00 NCAA Championship, something most people did not think could happen after Lon Kruger got us there in '94. Great podcast Mike and Udonis, hope to see more former Gators on here, great to see the different generation of Gators on here!
-
“If the season started today, I couldn’t play either one of you MFs” 😂😂😂 UD too funny
-
I remember playing in the Dodge Shootout in Gainesville over the summer in high school. OG was supposed to be the new T-Mac. I was scared to ask UD for an autograph. Lol. Great time playing against Kwame Brown, Nick Calathes, Chandler Parson. Great time meeting UD, Brent Wright, Teddy D, Ladarius Halton, good times thanks Coach Billy D.
