This used to be my favorite time of the year. Spring is in the air. Spring training. Hockey playoffs around the corner. but the main item on the menu was College Basketball. How i used to LOVE it. I would eat, drink, and sleep hoops... the various smaller conference tourneys as an appetizer for our own conference tourney and ultimately the NCAA. It was almost as if I was on the team.. i would get those types of butterflies. the kind I used to get for my own games.
That is now DEAD. this time of year, rather than being a time of great anticipation and joy, is now nothing more than a death march. to borrow the lyric from Alabama 3, this time of year now marks another 'stony gray step towards the grave, you know, The box'. Thank you SU hoops!
