Unfortunately for us old timers, this forum has turned into an obituary page. Time is also running out on us to get to the tournament in our lifetime. On paper it looks like this is the year. I temper my feelings about these early prognostications, because all you have to do is look at North Carolina last year as they were everyone’s preseason numero uno and did not even make the tournament. It is so hard now a days to predict the outcome of upcoming seasons because of all the new faces each year. Do the players now how to play with each other, do they get along, do they know the strengths and weaknesses of their teammates and can the coach mesh and coach all these new guys ?

To me, Stan was Pittsburgh sports. Stan paired with Guy Junker was primo. And you are correct Wildwood. Time IS running out for some of us.
