Gary's 3's make me chuckle. With Tominaga, CJ, and even Mast I can watch their shot and be like, "Oh that looks good!" With Gary it's more like, " Damn! That balls still going up!?!" And I have no idea where it's gonna land.
To piggy back off of this...humans are persuaded by any number things. Would they put us in because of the storyline? No. But are they persuaded (even subconsciously)to put us in, when comparing the resumes of our peers, by all the positive press because of the storyline. I'm not willing to say no to that.
This is the reason why I think if we get to the tournament we could make some noise. They generally don't call the games the BS way in the tournament as they do in the B1G.
Maybe. It would be nice. I'm not sure we NEED to. But if we don't it definitely takes it out of our hands and puts it up for interpretation by others. Also, semantics, but I view a road win at this point more of a box to check then a resume builder.
