Near season end Update:
A personal note. I started doing the Carousel thread to tide me over until CU got back into post-season play. It became something to do while other teams, like 68 of them, found ways not to completely suck and find their way to some piss ant bowl game for the holidays. Meanwhile, I watch the carousel. I guess it is kind of comforting to have a holiday tradition you can count on.
