You know...one would think if you support enough sports teams there would be a shotgun effect so that at any given time one of them would be playing decently. You might think that, but you'd be wrong.
Let us look at the state of things for yours truly:
The Blues: This team's inability to score is downright embarrassing. The sad truth is it is not possible to excel in this league without a number one center, and the Blues have been without one for the better part of a decade. (Even when Dougie Weight was younger he was more of a good #2 than a real #1.) So we are left with the sorry display of a team that doesn't have anything to play for anymore. Combine that with a monster nine game road trip, which we are already 0-2 on, and it is gonna be a very difficult month of March.
The Billikens: Remember when I said something about how the Bills were starting to get the hang of the Majerus system? Well scratch that, I must've been drunk. SLU is getting drilled, absolutely drilled, by terrible teams. Yesterday Duquesne, sporting a 2-13 record in A10 play, beat the Bills by 27. Luckily, the conference tourney will be able to put this team out of my misery.
Notts County: Yesterday was a huge game for the Magpies in their quest to not get relegated out of League Two. They had Barnet at home and, by all accounts, they were damn lucky to draw 0-0 with them. Notts has a quick turnaround, playing Lincoln on Tuesday at Meadow Lane. You've gotta get something from that, as they then go away to Peterborough (where the Pies will get hammered if current form says anything) and then get tough games at home against Rochdale then away to Shrewsbury two days later. It is getting late and there seems to be little confidence in the side. (It didn't help matters that bottom of the table Wrexham managed a 2-0 away win this week.)
Hell, and I haven't even mentioned the self-immolation that is an average Braden Looper spring training start.
