Hard to say this, but I am so sad about the state of the hoops program it’s affecting my ability to enjoy the fact that we’re having our best football season in at least 108 years (likely ever). Basketball was what made me a Cyclone. Trying to put out of sight, out of mind before Saturday but man, talk about polar opposites as far as the trajectories. I may not make it to 10:00 at this point with early work tomorrow - and I am someone who has watched every minute of every game for like 25 years (no leaving early to beat the traffic out of Hilton).
For the first time in my fandom, I feel like making the choice not to invest in this team because there’s just no hope...didn’t happen for me with McDermott until the very end and even then, there were still glimmers! Just feel sad for our guys and am obviously hoping for a comeback here.
