The season we've all been waiting for.
We were screwed over for 8 years with false hopes, and no-show recruits, losing to inferior teams with championship banners from 80's flying high in disbelief from the rafters in one of C-USA's top basketball venues. We were embarrassed when our coach had to set up respected media members because he couldn't handle the heat of why the hell no one wanted to play for his boring style. We were embarrassed when we watched others make C-USA runs to the dance, simply wondering..............WHAT THE F***?
Now, its finally here.
We have endured almost two decades of being nothing, yeah a respected program, but one that could not get over the hill back to its old glory.
Now we have depth, talent, a star player in Bryson Williams and a coach who seems to get it. I for one have been waiting for this season since Lamar waxed us on our home floor and Tim Floyd took his ball and went home.
It's finally here.
For the ones who have been sitting in the empty Haskins Center over the few years, and could not wait until Tim Floyd was gone, the year is here gentleman. I am hoping for a big year, all of us on this board have been waiting for this, soak it in, celebrate every big win and enjoy the ride, because the next two years WE SHOULD BE BACK.
On behalf of all Miner ball fans I say: Amen, let's bring the glory back and beat Highlands by 40 points tonight.
