So I'm lying in bed and I turn to ESPNEWS where there's an interview with LeBron James. So I'm watching Bron Bron talk about the playoffs when I look to the bottom right hand corner where they put the breaking news. I can't even describe what I feel as I read the very succinct, "Billy Donovan wants to return to FLA." WHAT???!!!???!!! Seriously? Honestly? Or as Justin Timberlake on SNL would say, On the real real real real real real real?
My first thought was to make sure it wasn't April Fool's Day. Nope, we're in June. My second thought is that this is some kind of joke. But who'd play a joke like this on ESPN? So I keep flipping back and forth between ESPNEWS and ESPN to see if there's any further coverage. Nothing. So I get out of bed and turn on my computer. While I'm waiting for my slow machine to get going I turn to the very end of ESPN's coverage of the story. I am sooooooooooooo confused! I honestly don't know what's going on.
Billy just accepted the Magic job this past Thursday. He gave his introductory Magic press conference and farewell Gators press conference on Friday. Everyone was getting ready for the majority of the staff to leave and hoping that Anthony Grant would come back to Florida. And now Billy apparently doesn't want to leave. I always knew that UF was a special place, but this is out of control. I guess we'll all see how the story unfolds.
