Now that the worst possible scenario I could ever imagine has unfolded in baseball's playoffs, I will be shifting the focus of this site on to another sport a few weeks sooner than I had hoped. However, I can assure you that this change in scenery and sport will only help boost my recently beaten and broken spirit. You see, my most cherished sports are baseball and collegiate basketball. And currently I am quite fortunate. This is because my two most beloved teams within my most cherished sports are both in an upward trend. Obviously, if you've followed this blog, you know that I am a proud supporter of baseball's Cincinnati Reds. What you may not know, unless you visited the "Authors" page on this site, is that I am also a gi-normously huge Indiana Hoosiers basketball fan. And like I said, I am fortunate these days, because if you haven't heard: Indiana basketball is back! Not only is it back, but the program is currently pre-ranked number one in the nation by nearly every media outlet and sports publication. I have never been this excited for college basketball to begin in all my life. To top it off, I am living in the epicenter of it all here in Bloomington, Indiana. Heck, I am employed and work in the building/gym where the Hoosiers played their home games from 1917-1960. Literally, look...
"A view from my office"
Anyway, what makes this coming basketball season even more special is the interest. We will have an additional author for extra Hoosier coverage and our own Nick Hall proudly represents the Michigan Wolverines. And in case you didn't know, Michigan is pre-ranked in the top five in the country as well. The Big Ten is stacked and we need all the writers we can get this season. I am ready for an exhilerating and amazing season, aren't you? Perhaps we will see the first undefeated season by a team since 1976...and a sixth banner.
