Friends, life isn't always easy. There will be trials and there will be tribulations, they say. The key is to keep your eyes fixed on what is above such that you do not turn to despair.
I offer these words of comfort as I eyeball my good friend John Brice's picks for this week. Already 8 games off the lead, one can imagine the terrible thoughts creeping into his head. "I'm not worthy. I should have stayed up later to watch the end of that Mountain West battle that ended shortly after 3am. Are my eyes playing tricks on me? Who am I?"
JB, stay strong young man. Trust your training. Trust your years of experience.
Making up an 8 game deficit with 10 weeks to go is easy. Don't go all in on crazy in one week...
Well, this should be interesting.
Enjoy the games!
