A letter from Josh to the First Corinthians,

Dear Corinthians,

How’s it going (I can only assume you to be) fellas? You may or may not be wondering what I’ve been up to the past fortnight, or in this case 5 days. I experienced my first college hockey game last Saturday with Emily, and had a very good time. MSU put it to those who come from Ann Arbor, 2-0. Notre Dame lost, and I didn’t almost cry. Progress, friends, progress. Then I was defeated in a game a Scrabble, this time I did almost cry.

A sub-leaser has been found for my apartment. I’m not sure how I feel about this situation. Granted, I’m happy I don’t have to shell out the $350 a month, but at the same time, E.L. has been my home for the past…roughly 5 years, sans that 3 month time period between graduation and getting hired at the station. After this school year is over, I’m not really sure how much I have left here anymore anyways.

Breaking news here, I’m literally watching Charlie Weis’ press conference on SportsCenter right now. This is difficult to watch, and I honestly feel bad for the guy. I’ve been a Weis’ supporter since the hire, and despite his winning percentage being the same as Ty Willingham’s, I honestly believe he has been a much better coach, and if Chuck doesn’t come back next season, he has left plenty of talent in the program for the next coach, unlike his predecessor.

Slippery slope for UCLA, losing to Cal St. Fullerton last night. That said, college basketball season is upon us. This will be a much different North Carolina team then the one I saw win the National Championship at Ford Field last season. This group does however have the same potential as the young Tar Heel squad that my dad and I drove to Dayton to see lose to George Mason in 2005. Am I saying they will win it all in 4 years? No. Am I saying they could make the Final Four THIS year? Yes. I guess that makes them better than that 2005 team. It’s just a little strange not to see the likes of Psycho T, Ty Lawson, Wayne Ellington and Danny Green suiting up in the Tar Heel Blue this season. I feel like I did a lot of growing up watching them play the past 4, and in Wayne and Ty’s case 3 years.

Well thats about all I’ve got right now. Thanks for checking in.
