Sports Is All About The Future

We as fans think that last night's game is the end of the world when we lose.  The Warriors were the talk of the NBA as one of the greatest teams ever and in a week they are never going to win again.  I guess the only question unresolved was Curry's knee injury not healed causing his terrible week?

Not that long ago people in Raleigh were ready to fire Mark Gottfried after the Pack basketball team failed to win as many games as losing and it seemed as if every player was jumping ship.  The twins left and who could blame Cat from leaving even though no one was predicting him as a first round pick.

The bottom of the world had fallen on NC State.  They would be a bottom of the barrell feeder again next year and it is time to find a new coach.  Since they have signed one of the best big men in the country and two guards that are at least four star  prospect that everyone wanted.  Several possible returning players who were rumored that might leave stayed and all of a sudden the Pack might turn into a top ten team if all these players are as good as rated.

Win a game today the world is great.  Lose tomorrow and the world is ending.  Football you have a week to celebrate or cry depending on the outcome of the last game.  Basketball you play at least twice a week so there is less time between.  Baseball can be an everyday game with only let's go again tonight.  There is that old saying you are never as good as you think and as bad as it seems.

Before Friday night both Arizona and Coastal Carolina were both on their death bed having lost their first games in the College World Series.  Both teams were facing teams that they were going to have to beat twice.  Arizona would have to take down Oklahoma  State and Coastal would get to face TCU.

Is it possible that one of those could win two in a row and upset the team that only needs one win  Friday or if it takes just one win on Saturday.  Lo and behold not only did Arizona  and Coastal Carolina win Friday but they both win again Saturday and the Big 12 will have no one in the finals after having three in the final eight.

Coastal Carolina just two weeks ago had to have a rain shower after midnight halt play in Raleigh.  Without the rain they lose and never get a chance to come back the next afternoon and beat NC State.
