This letter is to the Gator Nation, after our men's basketball team won the NCAA national title.

Dear Gator fans:


Gainesville after the men's basketball team won the 2005 NCAA championship - pic by Mark TrammellI know you're all celebrating - and you deserve to be. Midtown, downtown, uptown, all over town - just like Joakim said.


What a great year it has been. We were all slightly devastated about losing our top 3 players last year (Anthony Roberson, Matt Walsh & graduating David Lee) & no one really expected much from this year's rather young & unexperienced squad.


But they believed.


And they performed.


They started the season by breaking records & winning the longest streak of games. They ended the season by break other records & being the first Florida-based team to ever win an NCAA men's basketball national championship.


Anyone at those early games this season knew the team was special - and now the nation knows too. It is sooooo great to be a Florida Gator.


Enjoy the celebration & go Gators!

Kaye

PS - Mark uploaded a slew of pix to his Flickr account so go check them out.
