2 very quick things

1) Apparently from what I've heard, the Devan thing was feared to be serious at one point, so I don't think this was a case of a team inventing an injury to mess with the other team. I will say that I've been used before in that way (not by Howie) in my career, so it is possible. But I really do believe this was legit. I'd tell you if I didn't.

2) And this is going to be very quick because this is probably the most insignificant argument we've ever had here that went on for a while (though I will say that I appreciate that so many apparently read what I wrote here). My point wasn't that the gentlemen (who I've probably interacted with on here and have nothing against personally) didn't have a reason to be upset, they did. It's that they handled it poorly. That's all I was saying.
It's like when I get an email on here. If someone disagrees with me, great, I love a good debate. Tell me why I'm wrong in a semi-respectable way and I'm happy to respond. But when I get yelled at or if I were to be called classless, I just delete the email. That was my point on this. There's a right way to object to something and a wrong way. All I'm saying.
I will tell you a quick story, then we're dropping this, at least I intend to. A few years ago I had a flood on my street, got evacuated and had exactly two clean outfits. Without thinking about it, I wore a UConn hat to a CCSU soccer game. One of the coaches teased me about it, I explained the situation and it was never brought up again. My point is, unless it happens regularly, it's not a big deal. I promise. I'm really right about this one, trust me. There are many, many more important things for us to focus our energy on. NEC Tourney talk anyone?
Now, let's get back to a big ball game. I talked to Marc, the bus arrived safely. I'm not physically in PA, but will talk to people after the game and have a full report and reaction over the next couple of days. I will be at the semifinal unless it's at the Mount.
