This is a tribute to my favorite gator... Senior Forward Adrian Moss

Adrian first caught my attention his sophmore year. He remined me of a very young Kevin Garnett. He showed lots of potential and he started to deliver. Then the dreaded injury bug struck, but unfortunatly it struck repeadidly over the course of his career. He missed most of his time from mid sophmore to the begining of his senior year. Anyone in his shoes could have easily gave up, but being the great sportsman that he is, he stuck to it. He was finally healthy at the start of this year and has played his role all along. Not once did he complain for playing time, not once did he fail to give 100%, even when he was seldomly being used throught the tournament. He had managed to score a misreble 10 points in the last nine games. Then came monday night, last night, the national championship. On that very night i saw somthing so moving, that i fail to tranfer it to words. I saw an inferno of pure passion in his eyes. The man was determined to do everything in his power to will his team to victory by scoring 9 first half points and pulled down 6 rebounds. Those total may not seem much to most, but it was a 30 point night in my book. I could not help but feel so proud of Boss man. After all that he has gone through, to have it end the way it did was a thing that fairytales are made of. Congratulations to the gators basketball team. Congratulations Adrian Moss, you deserve it more than most. Heres the
tournament MVP Joakim Noah on Moss.
"Boss man," Noah said admiringly of Moss. "He's the leader of this team. I'm just proud to be his teammate."
