It's a desert right now. After a series of awful years for WF sports, felt like this would be a turn the corner year when WF basketball actually might be "historically competitive" and WF football would take a more affirmative step in the right direction in 2015. Here we are in February, and with just a few weeks left in the basketball season, WF football and basketball has two conference wins for the school year in football and basketball. Two. That should be a good week for the basketball program. Add in the WF soccer loss at home as the overall #1 seed in the NCAAs, the Nats yearly collapse as well as other disappointments, and it really sucks.
Really testing the theory as to whether or not Sports can be enjoyable when your team blows. I will hang and suffer through the next 4 weeks of WF basketball. This thought just haunts me: have been waiting for the ACC Tourney to return to DC for years (the last time the ACC tourney was played in DC was 2005; as you may recall, WF finished that year 2nd in the ACC, and I was primed for a tourney run like the mid 1990s; then, WF ended the regular season with the nut punch win over State; CP3 was suspended for the 1st game of the ACC tourney, and #7 seed NC State, and Julius Hodge, upset WF in the ACC quarters, barf). Now, the Deacs return to DC, and I will watch WF's season end on Tuesday (so embarrassing) against someone like VT or Cuse. Nauseating. Maybe WF will make a run when WF returns to DC in 2027. Probably not.
