These types of weekends don’t come around very often. A great home basketball game on Friday and a football game on Saturday with championship and playoffs on the line. Cherish and enjoy. Hope things go our way! Go ‘dins!!
All you can do is work to be in a position to play these sorts of meaningful games.
During some of the malaise of some of the last 15 years, I think our football team lost a bit how to play in big meaningful games. It's been a long time since SoCon teams were colliding late in the season with literally everything on the line.
