Below are the complete results from last Friday's MAAC meet -- for those that have not found them online yet, and so they are part of the permanent record for future reference and archival purposes on this blog.
These results have been analyzed and sorted through many times by us here at Blog Central -- at practice, in person, etc. No need to add a lot more commentary here, except to say this (and, as a way of explaining the title of this post ...):
The Mitch Albom book, "Tuesdays With Morrie," is about the best and most important book published in my lifetime. If you have read it, I suggest you re-read it at least once per year. If you have not read it, do yourself a favor: Buy a copy online or at a used bookstore. Read it. Re-read it.
Anyway, in the book, the main character (Morrie) is at a basketball game at the college at which he teaches. The cheerleaders are all cheering: "We're Number One! We're Number One!" Morrie calmly walks up to them and inquires: "What's Wrong With Number Two?"
In our case, there is nothing at all wrong with Number Two. In the MAAC, that is. Finishing runner-up to Iona is as good as it gets on the men's side. On the women's side, we are not quite satisfied with being #2 each year. But this year, it was as good as it could have been.
The bottom line: We can control two things, and that is our preparation and our effort. We cannot control our conference affiliation and the level at which the teams in our conference compete.
I am proud to be associated with a great group of athletes on both squads, and I look forward to what the future brings.
