But, I think it became evident to him. And, essentially, looking from a hindsight perspective, trying to see from the viewpoint of someone with more foresight and true knowledge on the matter than I, I think he folded in order to take his chances with the dealer knowing he’d have a stacked hand next round.
So, the cards come out. Going by the number of cards, we added two more potential Aces in the offseason with Cooks and Gilmore.
That already makes you feel better about going into next year against that same classless 9ers squad. And you’ll have more confidence. Not because your team couldn’t beat them, but because you mucked up that last play call: the snap to Zeke, the lay up for Turp to get blown up so embarrassingly like that. I’m saying that because I’ve been laid up like that by noodle arms and es no bueno. Thanks Coach, McCarthy. Creative play for the win — as far as who gets the blame.
Anyway, that’s my theory. I’m giving Mike the benefit of the doubt knowing he’s there up close, dealing with it all, and I’m not. So, I can enjoy the season, win lose or draw. Personally, I’m not going to get caught up in the winning thing right now, and just take each game as it comes.
I also vow not to worry about which seed the team gets. Just get this one into the tournament.
