I'm just running the poll and will not be commenting...just curious to see where people are on this. Comments as to why you feel the way you do are welcome, but of course not necessary.

If the second team all American and BEPOY does not come back, my expectations will lower but not plummet.  I think if Markus leaves Symir reclassifies.   Greg, Koby, Sacar, and Torrence would potentially be a good guard rotation.    But, with Markus, top 10 preseason.   Without, fringe top 25.

I play golf with a guy named David Stahler. At one time he was a +2 handicap. Age, the yips and a balky back have conspired to bring him back to the field. He's a 6 now and the most pessimistic golfer I've ever played with. If he hits one down the left side of the fairway he'll often mutter "That's out of bounds!" If he hits it within 30 yards of a pond he moans "That's in the water!" One day I couldn't take it anymore and said, "Damn it Dave, you may be the biggest pessimist I've ever met" His reply? "You know the definition of a German optimist? He's the guy who doesn't think the world will end until tomorrow".

Anyway, I agree with you about there being a next year. He probably wouldn't.

Love the story, Lenny.

Guy goes to confession

G: Fr, I was out golfing when I took the Lord's name in vain

F: As a fellow duffer I can understand how that could happen. Tell me the circumstance so I can assign your penance

G: Well, I tee off and the ball is screaming straight down the fairway for 280 yards when it suddenly begins to hook out of bounds...

F: I see, my son and I can understand...

G: That's not when, Fr. So I am lying about 150 out. I hit my 9 and the ball is headed straight for the pin when it hits a seagull and lands in the bunker...

F: Of course you were upset!

G: That's not when I took the Lord's name, Father. I hit my 60 out of the sand and the ball is rolling  right for the cup when it stops an inch short...

F: Don't tell me you missed that f#cking putt!!

Shouldn't the last line be, "Don't tell me you missed the g#$&@mn putt?!" to properly call back to the original sin being confessed?
