I will have a little trouble falling asleep tonight as it is the Eve of our 2012 football season. The Knights are up in Akron as I post and I'm sure are very ready to start knocking around some Akron Zips. Hopefully this will be a good tuneup game for the team as we will have to return to Ohio and play the Buckeyes at home in Columbus next week but I should not get ahead of myself and just try and focus on the task at hand and that is return home from Akron with a "W".
Go Knights!

Did I mention........
Did I mention i wanted us to CRUSH fiu. Yeah, 28 days and counting.
This is the countdown to the fiu beatdown!
28 days
This is the countdown to the fiu beatdown!
28 days
12 days and counting
-It's - the - most - wonderful - time - of - the - year !
When we last met I was posting my wishlist for the 2012 football season. I happened to have rather bad timing on this by posting it on the eve of the official ncaa sanctions against us. With that said, I would like to take the opportunity to revise my list by making changes to only the first item. Instead of Winning a conference title it should now read:
1. Win the appeal of our football postseason ban AND win a conference title.
Now with the appeal officially submitted I hope the ncaa will expedite the process and return an answer before the end of the season. I have never felt comfortable with the idea that we could appeal the ruling, play out the entire season (including the postseason) and then possibly lose an appeal and lose next years football postseason. Don't get me wrong, I am all for appealing the decision if there is a possibility that the ncaa did not make the correct decision when they levied a postseason football ban on us but I would rather take the medicine this year and then move on. Moving forward into the Big East without any baggage was always my preferred way to go.
Here's hoping that we come out on the winning end of the appeal process.
Go Knights!
