"Success is counted sweetest by those who n'er succeed...."

“Success is counted sweetest by those who n’er succeeds,” is a line that I remember from a poem in the 10th grade. Although I can’t recall what the name of the poem was, it was something from high school that stuck in my head. If you think about it, success is actually counted sweetest by those who n’er succeeds. Why do I bring this up? Basically this popped up in my head when I was thinking about my basketball team and how we’ve had such a stellar season thus far. Every year we have a conference tournament, the CAA tournament, composed of 12 teams, James Madison University, The College of William & Mary, Towson University, Drexel University, Hofstra University, Georgia State, George Mason University, Old Dominion University, Virginia Commonwealth University, Northeastern University, University of North Carolina at Wilmington and the University of Delaware. For 17 consecutive years Old Dominion University has completely dominated in woman’s basketball. This year it is different and the opportunity is wide open for just about any team to come home with the 2009 CAA title. Tied at first place with Drexel, and with an impressive 23-4 record, we are in a great position to win the CAA tournament for the first time in VCU woman’s basketball history. Trust me if we were to win the CAA tournament it would be oh so sweet.
