Sex ruined My Buzz

I am a BYU fan through and through. As a BYU fan it is not often I can see a national championship in a sport I, or the nation, cares about. There has been a buzz about college basketball in this state I have not see since 1997. BYU had a chance to win an NCAA Championship in Men's Basketball. That chance is now gone and my interest in the NCAA tournament has lost its luster.
Jimmer Ferdette is a great college basketball player. I do not think that his game will translate to the NBA. That being said, Jimmer mania has been fantastic and brought a lot of attention to Provo. Dan Patrick has started asking people if they have been "Jimmered." It has been a fun season that looked as promising as ever. BYU was ranked no. 3 in the nation after a great shooting performance helped them beat San Diego State last Saturday. Like earlier in the season New Mexico killed the celebration by demoralizing BYU after the Cougars Beat the Aztecs. Yesterday's defeat was different. BYU did not lose Jimmer Ferdette. However BYU did lose a possible no. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament, and we saw them lose a chance at a National Championship.
Earlier in the week Brandon Davies was dismissed from school for violating the Honor Code. Without Davies BYU has gone from a possible contender to a possible sweet 16 team. The New Mexico Lobos showed how the cougars without Davies are week inside and will be another good team in the tournament. The Salt Lake Tribune has reported that Davies was having sex with his girlfriend and this lead to his dismissal. Pre-Marital sex did not only ruin my buzz for this years college basketball, it ruined BYU chance of Winning a national championship.
