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!
