I always look forward to basketball season, starting with about the day the previous season ends for SU, but I carry the hope that football season will carry me through the Fall, hasten the weeks to bb. Not happening this year. I had expectations for this year's team, for Hunt. Those are pretty much gone. This team will be 2-4 after next week. The Jets are not in a much better position, though pro teams are a bit harder to read. The Giants are my one last hope for a positive FB experience this season, and the book is still certainly still out on them. I'm not overly psyched about the coming bb season; so many question marks with both returning players and key frosh. But I am excited about watching this young, talented team develop as individuals and as a team. I'm not expecting a great team, but I am expecting a team that I will enjoy watching grow and perhaps surprise me with their success. I am going to enjoy the next few weeks, my daughter's marriage next week, life with my newly adopted dog, and all of the little things in life that I most cherish. I'm too old to wish weeks away, but I am tuned into bb season now as far as sports go.
So much for football...

And would you still love them if SU BBall had a mediocre .500 season, with a losing record in the ACC? That's about the worst case scenario I can imagine - equivalent to what's happening on the FBall side right now.
You gotta keep rooting for the next game for our guys, regardless of the performance to date.

A bad basketball season would be an aberration. Staff and infrastructure are first class regardless of the results over any possible future aberration on the court. It is a program that merits respect; always has, always will.
The football program is broken. It got us into the ACC and for that I am thankful, but beyond that it is a typical bottom feeder.

I'm too old to wish weeks away, .[/QUOTE]
Yes! That is certainly a shift in consciousness that I had beginning about age 60. Yearning for the next season, whether it is 7 months away or 3 weeks away (hooray!) is a time waster now.
It is very hard for me with the football team. I have learned that I need to put up a boundary because my feeling badly for those players doesn't help them at all. I have season tickets and I am going to the game and I will root root ROOT but I must confess a certain dread. Also, my pal Gary has a high school reunion and I can't find anyone to go to that game with me! No one at work, no friends, no one on the football board. Sheesh. You think I will have that problem for a bball game?
So much more pleasant to anticipate bball, which we do because, as AlaskaSU says, we have a first class program. We have evolved. I like that word. It doesn't feel we'll be backsliding any time soon, if ever again. Human beings may at times act like slime, but we will never again BE slime.
Enjoy your daughter's wedding, njcuse!
