Florida Gulf Coast didn't admit it's first student until 1997. Wally mentioned in his column this morning that every player on the basketball team is older than the University, and I thought he'd screwed up his math, but I checked it out, and he was correct.

I thought it had been longer than that when Bryan Crislip played here, but obviously not. I don't expect it to happen, but what a story if they beat Florida this week. That would make a movie for sure.
Would rival "Hoosiers" what with their coaches personal history as well as the upsets, especially if they could somehow beat the Gators.

Personal history? Inquiring minds want to know.

They were just starting their program when Brian Crislip went there and I believe were playing on the DII level. Probably had just a handful of buildings on campus at that point and certainly no basketball arena.

They probably played their games at the local Boy's Club!
