My freshmen year at BC was 1994-1995. BC wasn’t even close to making the tournament yet when the Big Dance rolled around, I was as excited as everyone else. Things are different now. We are not in it, so I care a bit less. Sure I will watch most of the games. I’ll fill out a bracket. I’ll probably watch during lunch on Thursday and Friday. I’ll stay up too late. But it is not the same without BC. I think that makes me a bit spoiled.

This post is not designed to restart the Skinner debate. It is not supposed to be a pity party about the struggles of a poor BC fan. It’s more about how things have evolved. We (or at least I) can now live BC sports 365 days a year and BC has been involved in the tournament for most of this past decade. When we are not involved in something, getting emotionally worked up is a bit harder. Am I the only one who feels this way?

I’ll probably get sucked in with one angle or another as the tourney develops. When all else fails, I’ll get on the BC Guy bandwagon.
