February sucks. Apologies if your birthday is in February, but your month blows. Here in NE Ohio, it’s always grey, it rains, then it snows, then the snow melts and leaves mud and slush, then it snows again, then the cycle repeats, then it’s 30 below, then its 30, everyone is sick, and there are 46 days of this. February is awful. The one bright spot in this is college basketball. Every night there are a handful of conference games well worth watching. More than that, Xavier is usually gearing up for a run into March with genuinely meaningful games.
