So far two commentors have sworn off commenting on the blog as related to football and I have around a dozen e-mails that have either said or suggested the same. Please, don’t go away. I understand the therapeutic value you’re shooting for, but at least stick around and read. I promise I won’t tell if you comment under a nome de plume.

I mean, if you go, you’re missing basketball and I have a very firm feeling this is going to be one entertaining team to follow. There are so many dynamics and so many things to follow that will produce material I feel it’d be a crime to miss it all.

Consider that Saturday alone:

– Bob Huggins got a T.
– Kevin Jones outplayed Devin Ebanks … and Ebanks wasn’t bad.
– Joe Mazzulla needed stitches six games sooner than I would have predicted.
– Beefed-up Alex Ruoff got into an elbow-throwing contest.
– Wellington Smith was in foul trouble.
– John Flowers was 2-for-2 at the foul line.
– Josh Sowards — excuse me — Bird Sowards was off the bench early and later described by Huggins as the team’s best shooter “by far.”
– Da’Sean Butler scored 38 points … and this is the last thing I mention?

You can’t miss this team!
