I Want a Win

Not just a win. I want us to beat the snot out of Stony Brook Wednesday night. I want Wolfie to cry (not our coach or #2 on our team, but SB's mascot). I want them to have a miserable 4.5 hour bus ride walk back to Long Island their dorm rooms.

It's not because of what they did to us in the first round of the 2004 tournament. I'm over that. Finally.

And it's not because Stony Brook is the birthplace of this living turd.
But it doesn't help.

No, I just want to beat the hell out of the Seawolves to take my mind off our last two games. The Vermont game made me queasy. The Binghamton game was worse because the final shot was one that Corey could have made.

It's time to get back on track, and who better to do that against than Stony Brook?

But hold on a second! This isn't the Stony Brook we've come to know. These ruffians are in 4th place, and have taken Vermont, Binghamton, and us into overtime. They lost all three overtime games, but very nearly beat the three teams in front of them in the standings.

They will be sure to bring it Wednesday night, so we've got to make sure to get on top, stay on top, crush their spirits, and not let up until it's over, for better or worse.

Just like my Saturday nights.

1 game down, 6 more to go

I'm not so sure how our plan of regular tourney updates is going to work. We've only been through 1 game so far and we're all ridiculously hungover.

The drives here were long but uneventful - car bingo, mad libs, the like. We took care of some Sparks in the parking lot and settled into the FRONT ROW to watch the scintillating Stony Brook vs. Maine matchup. The BU team ended up sitting right near us. The game was a close one, so at least it wasn't to boring. Maine's #22 (Mark Socoby) was hitting from everywhere, including a banked 3-pointer to send it to OT. Ovetime was all Stony Brook though. The High Roller caught some good (and hilarious) footage in his Handycam.

Corey Lowe confided in us that he wanted Stony Brook to win the game. He was also pretty jealous of the red BU headband one of us was wearing, but turned us down when we offered him one.

Aside from winning the game, Stony Brook kicked Maine's ass when it came to fan spirit. We had a fun time with Wolfie, but the band and dancers were kind of lame (better than this guy though).

Then we went to our temporary home and played drunken Rock Band all night and then went out to some OK bars. Ended up stumbling home after the High Roller got kicked out of a bar because he wouldn't stop videotaping this dancing old guy who looked like Ric Flair. If we ever get the video online, you will see exactly what I mean.

OK, time to head out into the rain for our big tailgate!
