ATLANTA, GEORGIA — I think I figured it out - this time of year is the best time of year, from a college sports perspective. I know that’s a bold take, considering it includes exactly 0% of the football season, but there’s a crisp breeze in the air, hope springs eternal for spring sports, which are just starting now, and basketball is in full ACC swing. Heck, this year, we even get the surprise boost of a spring Volleyball season, and, well, they’re really great, too.
There was a time in my college career - this time my freshman year, to be exact - when I was this optimistic.
