Finished
I'm sad. I know now of days people throw out sad, and depressed, and pissed all the time when they are a little tweaked, but right now I'm actually just sad. Today's game was rough, tough shooting, tough officiating, tough rebounding. Northwestern was just too physical and large, and white for us today. They're a solid club. I'm not going to harp on the little things about today's game, and how we should have done this or that, but rather I just want to say some things about those 8 seniors who played their last games in a Boston College uni today. We love you guys. 3 and I were fighting back tears when those boys where taken out, and had chills when the standing O for them all lasted nearly 10 minutes. They fucking deserve it. I know BC basketball isn't on peoples radar. We aren't nova, or UNC, or Kentucky. But it doesn't mean that guys like Trap, Biko, Raji, Cahill, Big smooth Southern, and the rest of the seniors didn't work their asses off for 4 years. And this year, this band of brothers bonded together and gave us some great moments, they, like that video above, persevered, proved people wrong and gave us something to care about, gave us their all. Steve must be so proud of this over achieving bunch of men who bought into the system and gave the program a solid year to build upon for the future. I'm sad because I saw the look in Biko's eyes when he walked off that court one last time. It's that same look we all had when we stepped off that high school or even college court or field for the last time. If you know anything about sports, anything about passion, anything about working with others for a common goal, you'll know what I mean. It's just sad. But we hang our heads high and we salute them boys who played their tails off and represented this school with pride. The fans owe them that. The fans must be better. But we will address all of that later. For now I speak for everyone at the scenes, and everyone ballsy enough to come out this morning: Corey, John, Joe, Biko, Courtney, Nick, Chris, and Big Smooth, Thanks men, Thank you for giving us your very best.
