So over the past few weeks I have been getting excited about the opening of the BC hockey season. The Boys start the season at home against perennial power Wisconsin and they will be raising the 2008 NCAA championship banner that night.
One small problem. I can't be there. (close your mouth you're letting in flies).
That's right. I've been to their last two championship wins. I've gone to Michigan, Florida, Missouri, Wisconsin, New York, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Maine, and Colorado to watch them play. I've gone to two championship celebration ceremonies (missing work to do so). But I will not be there to see them raise the banner.
They did it on the sly in 2001. One game it wasn't up and then the next game it was. This time they were going to unfurl it before the season opener. I was supposed to see it this time.
Then, Mrs. Pike informed me that I could not see it. Her best friend is getting married that day. Of all the weddings that I have been to this is the first one I have ever been to on a Friday. But there you have it. I won't be there. I will miss it. I have been promised pictures but I will miss the experience.
There is no joy in Mudville.
