Does this year feel different?

[plasticman]

Not really....

I'm full of just about the same amount of hope, optimism, and excitement that I usually am before the season starts and begin to reveal just how naive and gullible I've been the past 3-4 months.

It's an entertaining form of self-abuse and, like any other form, it has a distinct cycle.

They're all the same to me. Optimism springs eternal. My second year as HC, we were picked to finish 7 out of 8 teams. To hell with that hell, screw the haters, if you don't believe, you don't belong!! Pick your head up and bust your azz!!!!!!
We went undefeated.. first district title forbthay school in 33 years and first playoff win in 44 years. So, they all start the same.....

Lol. We hear this every year. My middle name is Missouri so, yeah.

I will believe it when I see it.
Fool me once shame on you.
Fool me 29 times, shame on me.

"Feel? Feel? we not talking about the games, but how you feel? Feel? who cares how you feel? Let me know how you feel in Dec after most of the season is over.

It's 100% same old same old. Except there is even more Kool aid being consumed this year. I think Vegas has this team pegged about right.
