LOL! You're averaging nearly 3,000 posts a year to a friggin' college sports discussion group and *I'm* the one with the "meager existence"? See that big, yellow thing hanging in the sky outside your window. It's called "the Sun". You might want to put the keyboard aside every so often and check it out. :wink: (PS-It seems as if *my* expectations are reason for you to ridicule me. Does that mean that *your* expectations are that this team would not be good this year, because I sure as hell expect them to.)
