Time... is on my side. No it isn't!

So I woke up this morning with a strange pain in my back, right around 7:30AM (aka 9:30PM Tues Night Madison Square Garden Time). It wasn't from the lumpy mattress; it was from the familiar dagger of another Hawk loss in the last seconds of their game with No 25 Syracuse...

While I will be a little gloomy looking over the boxscore (no streaming for me) and taking in the dreary/drizzly Almaty weather today, I do like Tasheed Carr's game and the fact that we played tough in front of a crowd.
I remember our Carrier Classic tournament (99-00). The place was dead in game 1 and raucous with Orange in game 2 - seemed atmospherically the same this year.

I managed to print up the Hawks' schedule. It is posted in my apartment (green highlight for wins / red highlight for losses). I also have Duke's marshmallow schedule (just kidding!) right next to it for Amanda's alma mater. I can only hope that I use as much green ink on SJU's as the Blue Devils this season...

it was ugly. Missed FT's, turnovers, brutal shot selection. Don't be fooled, Hawks didn't play well at ALL last night. Cuse's 2 best played 36 minutes the night before, and ran out of gas in the 2nd half, allowing SJU to go on a 12-0 run to get back in it. But the game never seemed like SJU could pul it out.

Their frosh PG, Jonny Flynn, last night had 1 of the best dimes I've ever seen from a college game. YouTube it.

Going to be a long year if you are a A-10 fan. I don't see a lot to like.

Highlight it now in red December 1, PSU over SJU. Two in a row go lions.

Come on Randy, did you forget what ol' Frankie D. Sales said, "Have patience will all things. Every day begin the task anew."

Yeah, yeah I know. Would be better off quoting Jake Shuttlesworth (Denzel), "You don't make no mistakes? You be out here shootin', but you don't miss no shots ever? EVER? People make mistakes!"

...Go Hawks!
