Mad as in angry, agitated, unhappy, or mad as insane, crazy, mentally unbalanced? Or both? Doesn't the latter apply to most (all) of the posters here? As the psychiatrist says the dichotomy is not - nuts, or not nuts, but rather is what is the level of mental instability and how does it manifest itself?That's it. I just had to get that out. Feel free to add that you're mad too.
Some combination of both, in my case.Mad as in angry, agitated, unhappy, or mad as insane, crazy, mentally unbalanced? Or both? Doesn't the latter apply to most (all) of the posters here? As the psychiatrist says the dichotomy is not - nuts, or not nuts, but rather is what is the level of mental instability and how does it manifest itself?
But the pain and madness will rush in once you see that our team is better than 90% of the teams that will go on to play in the post season while we sit, watch, or maybe don't watch, and hope for 2013/14. Ugh!Actually once we get on the basketball court- it might be ok................
The entire season is going to be one long parade of stupid comments and asides about how we're not eligible because we have dumb players or something. It's going to awful. Do no watch any studio shows next year. Mute the announcers.
As BL pointed out earlier in a different thread, this is not the death penalty. If we (as a basketball program) are close to what most of our fan base wants to claim we are, we will have no problem recovering from this.But the pain and madness will rush in once you see that our team is better than 90% of the teams that will go on to play in the post season while we sit, watch, or maybe don't watch, and hope for 2013/14.

While the above situation (pundits questioning whether the tournament winner would have won if we were eligible) is exactly what I want, I don't think the NCAA would view that as anything but a victory. What they don't want to see is us having a season that would not give us a postseason bid even if we were eligible.Ideally at the end of next season you would like to hear an announcer say. "but could they have beaten UCONN". If we could only be that good it would be a small kick to the NCAA nuts.
