Broken Home

tUMD 2, Barbaros 3/tUMD 3, Barbaros 4

A quick update to last night’s debacle: I missed two periods of the game because I had to work. So, it is my fault we lost. Also, we didn’t get into any trouble. Granted, we weren’t being quite as crazy as the night before, but still. I also got a visit from the athletic director, who wanted to make sure we weren’t being bothered and assured us he wants fans to be loud.

So, I see I was correct in extrapolating our “lose if we don’t score first” statistic to broader applications. Hooray for me. Why couldn’t I have been wrong for once? Well, now I get $34.50 off of next year’s tickets.

How can a team be so bad at home? Almost three times as many conference wins on the road than at home. Some absolutely disastrous poopshow home games among the losses (St. Cloud, UNDerpants). I don’t understand. Shouldn’t tDogs be more comfortable at home? I always am. I like sleeping in my own bed, hanging out on my own couch, raiding my own refrigerator. When I’m on the road, I don’t sleep as well, I’m not as productive, I spend too much money, etc. So you’d think tUMD would be the same way. Apparently they have lumpy mattresses and eat only dorm food when they’re at home, and have gourmet dinners and Sleep Number beds on the road.

I’m sad to see this season end, as I always am. I’m hopeful for the future, as I always am, but we’ve really got some fantastic returning players and some top-notch recruits.

I’m kind of out of things to say for the moment, but I hope I’ll see many of you at the Fab Four next weekend!
