Happy New Year

On this election day, I'm here to break down...

Nah, I'm not here for that. What will be will be, with respect to the path our nation will choose. No, on this day, we celebrate something a lot more fun than politics.

Happy first day of the college basketball season, my friends. The schedule's packed with games, but the headliners feature Michigan State against top-ranked Kansas and Duke against Kentucky, both from Indianapolis.

The nightcap marks the competitive college debut, and one of likely just 30 some-odd collegiate games for Duke freshman Zion Williamson. One of the most hyped players in recent history, Williamson may be the rare beast to live up to the advance billing.

I saw the 6'7" Spartanburg, SC native at last year's Beach Ball Classic in Myrtle Beach. Unfortunately, he was in street clothes due to injury. So I missed all this:



That shit is absurd.

Way more to come from these parts on the new season, including our This Year in Wrenball preview (hint: we're not going to make the dance this year, but we're going to be decent once again). But for now, let's just enjoy the fact that we can turn off our brains and enjoy some good old-fashioned amateur sports coached by millionaires.
