So good news and bad news. Bad news: no live-blog today. The CU/KU semi-final game is after I leave work, and I'm not going to even try to write while I celebrate (read: drink a lot of beer at a sports bar) the Buffs first ever Big XII semi-final appearance. The good news (at least for me): no live-blog today. That shit's exhausting, and I miss a lot while trying to keep up with the flow of the game.
I will have a full wrap-up and finals preview up tonight/tomorrow morning, and I'll have some abbreviated coverage Sunday for the Tournament selection. Speaking of the Tournament, I was listening to 87.7 this morning, and, contrary to conventional wisdom, this guy thinks CU needs a win today against KU to even make the Tournament. While I'm not as sure as Lunardi that CU will get a 1st-round bye, I think, at minimum, CU is headed for Dayton regardless of today's outcome.
It would take a whole lot of bubble nonsense at this point to keep the Buffs out. Talk about the non-con schedule and 3 bad losses all you want, but those losses were all on the road, and CU has won 5 of it's last 6 games. I know from years past that the committee weighs your final few games higher than games earlier in the season, and a loss at San Francisco in November shouldn't keep the Buffs from playing in March.
Anyways, for good luck today I'm wearing my Chris Copeland '05-'06 game-worn jersey. It's even got the Sox Walseth memorial patch on it; I'm sure Sox is looking down with pride at his Buffs right now.
Go get 'em guys, you've got nothing to lose, and everything to gain!
