May = Depression

A lot of people ask me if I'm catching my breath...honestly, I wish I never had a chance to catch my breath. Right Austin is preparing to go to the regionals, Rhodes and Millsaps are practicing and praying they each get a chance to go to the "Dance". I think Rhodes has a better chance but I wouldn't be surprised if both watched from home.

As I start to look back at the year and evaluate, a few things stick out in my mind.

First, damn we were young. I know I've said it before but damn....Next year 1 senior, 1 junior, 13 sophomores and about 8-10 freshmen. The best part is those 13 sophomores will have had a TON of experience.

Second, 10-32 doesn't really tell the story. 22 game losing streak don't happen every year. Outside of the streak we were 10-10, that is a better indication of how good this team was...

Third, until the SCAC goes away from 4-game weekends we will all struggle in mid week games. Only three teams were over .500 in the SCAC. Not even the SCAC Champs were over .500!! Playing LaGrange, Emory, Huntingdon, Piedmont during the week after a SCAC series is tough! But what ever doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
