Basketball Fever!

It’s only January (ok, close to February) but I’m pretty sure I’ve already surpassed my basketball game total from last season and the season before, combined! Between my St. John’s season tickets, trips to North Carolina for some ACC action, and a few Ivy-A10 match-ups here and there, it’s certainly been an exciting few months of college basketball for me. And now I share it with you.

Take a peek at my basketball life so far in NYC. See for yourself how Wally Szczerbiak’s eyebrows have a mind of their own. Get a good look at Lou Carnesecca in my creepy stalker picture. And of course, analyze the breakdown of Duke’s defense in their last second loss to FSU. I have at least 50 times. Enjoy!

So this post is a tad premature since we’re not technically at Midnight Madness just yet, but you know what? I have a wedding to get to this weekend in Houston and sometimes I just don’t have time for you people. There. I said it. Not that I don’t love you. Clearly I’m writing this early so that you all have something to read. So I do care. I just can’t be on top of everything, all the time…Don’t leave me. I’m nothing without you. I’ll be better. Ok. I’m done.

We’re nearing that perfect time of the year when college basketball springs into action. I got my St. John’s season tickets in the mail yesterday, and life is starting to feel right again. It seems like only yesterday UConn went on their great run to win both the Big East Tournament and the NCAA Tournament. I still hate them, but I love me a good sports story.

This Whole Big East/ACC Business Has Got Me All Upset

I'm just fed up, Jim.

Approximately 7 wonderful years ago, I was a junior at Boston College. I was working, as most of you know, as a manager for the men’s basketball team, and the school and athletic department had just recently cut a deal to move from their ingrained spot in the Big East to the every-shade-of-blue ACC.

Well, there were some people who didn’t take this news well. And by some people, I mean UConn basketball coach Jim Calhoun. So while BC did their farewell tour of the Big East Conference schools in the winter of 2004-2005, Jim Calhoun continued to spew venom our way. And I’m pretty sure he vowed he would never, ever, play us again. Ever.

Well that’s going to be pretty tough when your campaign to join the ACC ends up being successful, isn’t it Jimmy?
