and it's finally starting to hit me. I didn't even want to get out of bed. I hate that the season has to come to an end......and in typical gut wrenching fashion no less (not 1, but 2 overtime games)! What a season! Who knows when PU will get that far again......next season?...…..10 years from now?...……..who knows. That's always a tough pill to swallow. For me, I just like watching PU basketball, so this season was total icing. I do feel like the program took another step in the right direction though, and hope to be in the elite 8, FF, etc. sooner rather than later.
As depressed as I am, I can't imagine how the players feel. Grady, Cline, and co. are probably replaying the game over and over in their head...…"what could I have done differently....?" That's a normal reaction but bottom line is, they gave all they had. And that is what we appreciate about PU basketball! These kids are in the dumps right now, but I have no doubt that they will experience even more success in the future, at whatever they do. That's another reason why we appreciate PU basketball! These are high character young men that enter, and leave, this program.
Life goes on, as they say. And as I look outside, and see that it is snowing (ugh), I realize that it may take a couple days to get back to normal. But we'll get there. And, hey, basketball season is right around the corner LOL!!
Thank you players, especially seniors, thank you CMP, and thank you fans...…..it has been a magical season...….an unexpected season...…….a season we all can be proud of. As I said many times before.....not every fanbase can feel as proud of their team, or coach, or program like we can. We PU fans have got it pretty good in that respect. And that's what keeps me coming back year after year.
Thanks for lending me your eyes this morning my friends.
