What Do We Call This Year?

So Brian said this today:

It wasn't, obviously, because that's just the way 09-10 works. When it's all over I'll burn something in commemoration. Possibly the world.

And then this:

One more way in which this year is like having tiny gremlins stretch your scrotum across two counties.

2005 was the Year of Infinite Pain. Which is almost amusing in retrospect, since there are numerous parallels, but this year is clearly more worthy of the title "Infinite Pain". But that's been taken. Which causes one to wonder: what do we call this year?

I'm open to renaming 2005, for one. Two, I think we definitely need to stay away from the word "infinite". It is obviously just begging for ironic comeuppance.

...the Canadians make up for it with their emotion and classic ice-dancing skill.

Seems appropriate.

2009

2009/10 = Blue Balls.

1. Extremely painful
2. the product of built-up anticipation
3. expectations not met
4. dire hope for relief in the near future

Well

Here is to hope in 2010. May our offense continue to improve and may our defense...well defend something.

But seriously if our D improves we should be able to win some of the games that we should have won this year (Iowa, State, Purdue, Illinois). Even with Graham and Warren gone we should still be able to improve as a unit. Lets hope Gerg's system sinks in and our Linebackers improve. That alone will make us much better.

It's not over yet.....

I am reserving judgement until the hockey and basketball team finish out their seasons.

It does have potential to be "The year we learned how Sparty feels almost every year," though.

I agree. Both parts feel so real. It's like my soul-dong was beaten into oblivion like Glenn Winston beats up nerds, and then I'm like, okay basketball's here, sounds good, this will help my sadness, we're gonna be good, Sweet Sixteen maybe, tourney definitely and then POW! Gremlins slowly stretch my soul-scrotum over two counties (Washtenaw and Kent, it went a long way), and here I am today.

Year of the soul-dong punching and the soul-scrotum stretching.

The 9th level of HELL

Never in my 45 years can I remember a year where every team I support and root for couldn't win when it needed to. From the football team to the b-ball team to the Wings, Pistons and of course our lovable Lions.

Can someone please explain what the State of Michigan has done to piss off the gods of UM football, b-ball, jobs, housing market and all pro sports teams?

WTF?
