FAIR WEATHER FAN
I don't know if you can call someone a "fair-weather fan" if they root for you every year but are free to discard your prospects every springtime when the season's over. If that's the case, then I guess I'm diehard, but fairweather.
With the Yankees done and the baseball season over, and I assume that the Knikcs are a joke, my mind wanderd to the G'town Hoyas; they finished up last year pretty respectably. Great God Almighty! The Hoyas are ranked #8 pre-season. After a few early-season tune-ups they get to meet #11-ranked Duke at an away game. When was the last time the Blue Devils had to look at Georgetown as a possible upset?
I can't stand college basketball. Unlike baseball, where every single pitch, hit, run, and play can be catalogued and quantified, college basketball is a mess of chaos where teenagers give middle-aged men heart attacks. It's even worse when your team is ranked so high in the preseason.
All I can say is good luck to JT III, the coach of the Hoyas. I don't have the fortitude to stake anything on your guys anymore. You spent me in the 90s. Best wishes today however. Best wishes always; everyone loves a good effort.
