Well I'm back and it's been a while. As the NHL playoffs get underway I am watching the annual meltdown of my favorite team the San Jose Sharks. This brings back the frustrations I have had as a fan in my life. When I was younger the Oakland Raiders were my favorite team-and it seemed they always fell one game short of the Super Bowl-who can forget the Immaculate Reception ? Then of course there is my alma mater-Fresno State and there annual let down-time and again our PR loving coach (Pat Hill) talks about the BCS and builds our hopes and then we lose (again) to Boise State. Of course in the early part of this decade it was the Sacramento Kings-I still haven't quite figured out how they lost to the LA Lakers-it took a freak shot in game 4 (Robert Horry), horrific officiating in game 6 and finally a free-throw shooting display from hell in game 7 (we still took them to OT) in order to lose that series.
The again there were those glorious moments-perhaps none better than last years incredible run by Fresno State to the NCAA Baseball crown. But maybe the reason we are fans is for those incredible moments when everything comes together and we can forget all those disappointments.
