This offseason has lasted forever

[CorduroyG]

And still over 2 months till our first game. It hasn't helped that my baseball team from queens stinks again which has made the summer even longer. I guess this is what happens when you crash and burn in the 1st weekend of tourney ughhhhhhhh

It's because of the absolute high of the start of the season -- followed by one of the loudest thud finishes we can remember considering where it looked like the team was heading. It discombobulated us.

 

[mark79]

Agreed. Nothing like checking back here hours from last check only to see that noone has posted anything.

Longing for the season to start. Football. Anything!

This has been a tough off-season. I had very high hopes last season. As soon as we heard talks of lottery picks the season fell apart. I hope we don't repeat that again! I would prefer we peak at the end rather than the beginning! Two years ago the team was just amazing during the BE tournament. That was really fun!! The defense may have been the best I've seen.

It has been interminable.

No Canadian exhibitions this year. That helped get the motor running last year.

If this were last year, we would be watching Orange basketball right now!

This could very well be a long season, and I don't mean it to say a long tourney run, but a team that might not make the tourney. Our back court might not be very good, which would create a lot of problems.

I will bet you a crispy 100 dollar bill we make the tourney. Bet?

I am football first so I can wait for the bball season to begin. That being said, my sentiments exactly. If things go as I suspect it could be ugly (or pretty quiet) around here come February. I hope I am wrong (and I am sure I will be reminded ) but not feeling it for this years team.

The backcourt really does concern me.

Don't sweat it. Four words for you:
Travis. Coney.
Kaley. Josup.

We are going to be very good as per usual. Yes they will probably run up and down the court like crazy and bounce an oop or two into the stands every game for the first 3rd of the season but just look at the talent and skill set of each player. I think this team is more talented and skilled than last seasons squad, they need to come together and learn the defense but after that watch out.

 

[OttoMets]

Didn't the offseason begin sometime between regulation and overtime against Boston College? Or was it during the second half against Georgia Tech?

It's as long as any I can remember. And with football in two days, I'm not really wishing it away.

I feel your pain man, I am a lifelong met fan also.

Tell me about it, but in less than 48 hours it starts again!

Beat Duke! Beat Duke! Beat Duke!

Just warming up.

The cure for the summer time blues:

Ahhhh, that felt good. I haven't watched the whole game in a long time. The thing that comes to mind about this national championship team is there were so many great contributions by so many players. And leading up to this game lots of players made the difference in keeping the Orange in the tournament. But during the championship game Edelin was terrific! Pace made shots. Duany had a good game. Forth had several great plays on defense. McNeil played a great game. And of course Anthony, McNamara, and Warrick were just terrific!!! But what really hit me by watching this game was how great this team was a TEAM!!!

It started early and ends late...sucks

That's freaking crazy. It just doesn't seem possible someone could do that. It's like the guy has two sets of vocal cords.

Eh, just let your discontent with the football team make time pass faster:

I like our football team this year. I think they have chance for another bowl game. What I really like is the 2015 recruiting class. As it stands, and players don't change their commitment, the 2015 may be the best recruiting class ever.
