How could anyone like their chances today against Creighton? Wichita State hasn’t won in Omaha in 15 years. The last time it happened, Paul Wight was the Shockers’ center. He’s now retired from professional wrestling.
I think WSU is finished. I think the mental drain from this long season has taken its toll and I’m not so sure everyone wouldn’t be better served if the Shockers’ season ended swiftly in the Missouri Valley Conference tournament next week. Under normal circumstances I would never suggest such a thing. I’m all about fighting until the bitter end. But I think the bitter end is here.
I fought and I lost. I tried to keep from having tears well up in my eyes while watching this ridiculous finale of a three-part episode on Grey’s this week. But the tears finally appeared and I feel like much less of a man because of that.
The whole point of this Meredity-Grey-Must-Die arc was to reach that emotional place within every human being that shows our incredible gullibility. And damn if the show’s creator and writer, Shonda Rimes, didn’t reach mine.
But I hated the premise, which was that Meredith faced grave danger at perhaps her own doing yet came out of the ordeal just fine and, presumably, wiser. They took her to the brink of death only to bring her back and it was shameless. This show might never recover, in my opinion. But that’s just me.
Anyone?
