#9 Egregiously Omitted Summer Story: 2011-12 Schedule released
Every year, we wait patiently to see what kind of goodies the OOC-Fairy has left in our Schedule Basket. And this year, after many years of waiting, she has left us a particularly tasty morsel: a date with our ugly step-sister up the road, the Eagles of Boston College (sucks!).
In real life, a date with a maiden this hideous would be the stuff nightmares are made of... she shows up late, her breath smells of garlic and funyuns, she has a zit the size of North Dakota on the old honker, she won't STFU about her lame-ass job, and to top if off she won't even let you get to second base in the backseat of your Honda on the way home. In short, she sucks.
But in college basketball world, this is our dream date. Our Terriers have wanted a piece of these Beagles since BC cut off the series in 2004 after a too-close-for-comfort 6-point victory at home. And whether this change of heart is due to their new head coach or just a much-needed sack enlargement procedure, we're glad it's happening this year. Why? Because they are going to SUCK even more than usual!! In the traditional sense, of losing games. On their web site's front page alone, it trumpets the news of 1) being picked 12th a.k.a. LAST in their conference-- and 2) squeaking out their exhibition game by 4 points over something called American International College. I don't want to get ahead of myself, but this could be a real fun year to face Chestnut Hill University.
The schedule also provides other delights. We travel down to Austin to play Texas on the Longhorn Network, cause of much chagrin amongst Texas A&M, the Pac-12 and other parties. For some reason we travel to Philly THREE SEPARATE TIMES, to play at Villanova, St. Joe's and LaSalle - here's hoping the boys don't gorge themselves on cheesesteaks. We play a very solid slate of good mid-major programs, highlighted by the 3-day Legends Classic against Rhode Island, Hofstra and Cleveland State - I will be personally lobbying hard for a road trip to that one. And of course, we open against our rivals from the dirty side of Boston.
