A figurative beacon but a literal time of darkness. Can't stand this pitch-black-by-5pm business.
Actually, make that a figurative time of darkness too, because the first half of November has to be my most depressing time of the year. It's always dark outside, finals are right around the corner, I'm suffering from acute baseball withdrawal, it's too soon to listen to Christmas music, and Wake Forest basketball hasn't started yet. Yes, there's college football and the NFL, but Deacons football has been so up-and-down that if I follow it too closely I might get motion sickness, and the NFL only provides one day a week where there's more than a single game going on. I did enjoy the gold uniforms, as long we don't do it again for at least a year.
But on to the beacon. Today, things are really looking up. Wake Forest basketball kicks off its season against NC Central. In our exhibition game last week we routed Olive Garden's corporate team, with LD Williams scoring 22 points and AF Aminu chipping in 15 points and 12 rebounds. Our dyanamic trio of freshman hasn't gone unnoticed, as we're ranked No. 21 going into the season. Let's exceed those expectations. Go Deacs!

It'll be interesting to watch Wake b-ball this year. Some people are saying it may take a year or two for our crazy-awesome freshman to really make an impact, but you never know.
After an almost two-year hiatus, I'm really excited about the 24 "television event" next Sunday. I hope it's good.
