The Blogfather of RockMNation.com, Bill Connelly, did a ‘Count the Ifs’ piece for basically every football season. Since coming aboard, Nate Edwards has rekindled the piece in Bill’s absence and the accuracy remains intact.
Count the Ifs has been, and continues to be, one of my favorite preseason pieces. Mainly because I think it fits what this site has long been about, hopeful optimism routed in reality.
Nearly every season starts with hope, even if things are dire we still hope for the best. But taking on ‘Ifs’ comes with an understanding that college basketball remains wildly different than college football.
