@BianchiWrites The current government in Florida is a "do as I say not as I do" body.
@BianchiWrites At least a posthumous apology to Coach Pell
@BianchiWrites Since there is replay now, can the Gators now be given the W in the 2003 fsu game stolen by the refs- FIVE fumbles blatantly missed by the refs. Research it and watch. Unreal.
@BianchiWrites It’s been 30 years of us supporting those kids. Time for them to go build their own audience….
@969gameon @BianchiWrites Great column today. The “self-induced amnesia” is necessary not just to forget what happened yesterday, but to erase the angst of the last missed basket or botched stop. Turn up the tune:🎵 “Do you believe in Magic.”
@969gameon @BianchiWrites Nothing against the Allman Bros, but Skynyrd is just better than Allman's. And, they're from Florida
J.J. Whispers @orlandosentinel @BianchiWrites
#ICYMI: @OrlandoMagic President of Basketball Operations was a guest on Open Mike with @BianchiWrites on @969gameon @iHeartRadio #EverybodyIn iheart.com/podcast/139-op…
Magic President Jeff Weltman: No Sense of Validation For Proving Doubters Wrong! 969thegame.iheart.com/featured/open-…
@BianchiWrites Also- when does NCAA get smart and play the men’s final on a Sunday afternoon/evening? Not taking away from the women- that game compelled me to watch. Purdue v UConn. 🥱
@BianchiWrites Winning is winning, I reckon, but it's truly rather amazing how this UCONN team could be so dominant in the tournaments without naturally attracting more attention than it does. Respect when due, but for whatever reasons, fans do not find them to be a fun team to watch.
@BianchiWrites Agreed. Huskies were dominant. Gators were dominant, special and selfless.
Happy April Fools Tuesday of April Fools week! Name your favorite fool! @BianchiWrites
