Updates Coming Sunday

I've discussed on this blog before that sometimes updates do not come as quickly as I'd like because this is just one person's effort and factors of time and competing obligations come into play. However, today is a good example of another reason I can be deliberate on commenting on certain subjects and how quickly that I respond: it is better at times to allow the lapse of time to both calm down and be able to evaluate the surrounding issues with a more critical and rational eye.

With the combination of heartbreaking losses in road games vs ranked teams in both men's hoops and basketball (and both contests being ones that the players legitimately left the arena of play feeling like they let one go by the boards), a more immediate comment would have been an undecipherable screed about awful officiating, lack of killer instinct and the lack of civilized sophistication in the Carbondale area. As cathartic as that may have been, that would have done everyone a disservice and would have largely been an emotional release rather than a rational discussion.

Thus, as time permits this weekend, I will have full reports on both the basketball and baseball games up and will proceed in the manner that I believe you all have come to expect.
