Right there with you Golf. For me, football is just a warm up to get me excited about basketball. We're going to have an awesome season and can't wait for Jimmer and Co to light it up. March can't come soon enough.
Yeah, Gunk, it's kind of you-and-me-against-the-world on this particular point, isn't it?
:P
Bout the middle of last football season, weren't you the one commenting that you were wondering when this type of post was going to come the corner's way compliments of me? It must be getting REAL bad for me that I can't make it past the first week.
Oh well, I'm PSYCHED for football season. Yes, I TRULY believe we CAN beat Florida State (and that'd be AWESOME, since DeMarcus Harrison will be THERE to see it as well!), and we're about sick and tired of losing to TCU. With a team as young as ours, I think they could walk in to the Toadstool (or whatever the idiots call that stadium) and punch 'em in the mouth.
BUT I CAN'T WAIT FOR BASKETBALL!!! I mean, we've got a team that could surpass last year's talent, and we were just a few ball bounces from making it to the same Sweet-16 as the non-entitled team that was, oh, ONE SHOT away from a national title. We WOULD have beated Xavier, and we WOULD have beaten Butler. THAT'S how basketball-blue-goggled I am! NO! It's NOT unrealistic! SO many Basketball brains last year had us in the Elite 8! Next year, we can put the talent on the floor to FORCE those bounces our way. We can put together a record and resume that will FORCE the Tourney Committee to give us a seed we deserve, and now that we have the win monkey off our back, WE MIGHT JUST FORGET HOW TO LOSE!!!
I'm SOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!
