Bob, Mike, etc:

I am very excited about the BBall team this year, but to me I feel like I've
been burned before for being excited after the preseason.  I'll be watching
(hopefully in person next Saturday) and if they can win the 3 out of their
next 5, that should help.  Sadler himself said that the season begins Jan
12th.

Sat, Jan 12 - Kansas 8 p.m. ESPN
Tue, Jan 15 - @Colorado 8 p.m. FSN Midwest/ESPN FullCourt
Sat, Jan 19 - Baylor 5 p.m. ESPN PLUS
Sat, Jan 26 - @Kansas 12:30 p.m. ESPN PLUS 
Wed, Jan 30 - @Missouri 7:00 p.m. FSN Midwest/ESPN FullCourt

Kansas is AWEFUL good right now and we play them twice in the first 4.  I
hate to excuse a loss, but being competitive would be good enough for me.
