This letter is to Gator basketball player Joakim Noah.

Dear Jo,

Can I call you "Jo"? Billy calls you Jo in the post-game interviews, so I figure that is what you go by.

Anyway.

Hi. We were at the game last night. You rocked. But after scoring 37 points, I'm sure you knew that.

Joakim Noah shoots at the UF-UGA game March 2, 2006 in the O'Connell CenterHey, what was up with that drummer in the band who hit the cowbell or cymbal or something right when you set up to release a free throw in the 2nd half? What a dummy. Did that mess you up? I remember the last time you made free-throws against Georgia. We were actually at that game in Athens in January. The student section kept yelling "you're so ugly" & later you said that it threw you off your first few shots. Your girlfriend responded by saying you were the prettiest thing to ever happen to the Florida Gators. I agree. Don't worry, I'm married.

This game was special to me because I'm moving to Athens this summer for my new job at UGA. It is unlikely I'll get to come back for as many games in the O'Dome as I'd like once I'm at UGA. Don't worry - even though I'm going to root for the Bulldogs on many occasions - I'll still bleed orange & blue.

One last thing. I really like it when you make a shot then turn to the rowdy reptiles & pump your chest. It shows that you know the fans are there & you care about us - that you want us in the game as much as we want you in the game. That is kewl so keep it up.

Go Gators!
Kaye

PS - that was kewl that your dad & grandpa were at the game
