What I think about December?
Dom Perno teams were usually ranked
Dook, KU, Gonzaga and UK are usually penciled in for the FF
BC won a national title when they were ranked number one (miss those ESPN boards)
Our 01/02 team was a dumpster fire after getting blown out at home by St Bonaventure. Came within 30 seconds of the FF
Our 03/04 team wasn't athletic enough after getting blown out by GA Tech (I know the game was played in Nov), Meka was too fragile and Jimmy was the uncoach of the year (think that was Doug-Gott-Nothing)
Jimmy's teams couldn't run any offense
So much more, I'm just in a hurry
Allow me to paraphrase the legendary Al McGuire. "The best thing about December, is it becomes January"
