My Wish for the 30's

As I hit 30 on Sunday, I couldn't help think of how good my 20's was to me. It was a great decade for me in many ways - I graduated from college twice, got married, moved cross country and had a kid. Almost as important, my teams have had a lot of great sports moments:
  • Devils Stanley Cup Champions 2000, 2003
  • Mets NL East Champions 2006
  • Bucknell Patriot League Champions 2005, 2006
  • Nets Eastern Conference Champions 2002, 2003
  • Georgia Bulldogs SEC Champions 2002, 2005
  • Sounders US Open Cup Champions 2009
  • UW Pac-10 Champions 2009; Pac-10 tourney 2005, 2010
This is an impressive list I have to believe. But when I looked at it more closely, I realized that my teams haven't won a major title (ie - World Series, Stanley Cup, NBA Finals) since 2003. It's been awhile on all fronts. Division and conference titles are all good, but I want one of the big boys in the next 5 years (well, that includes another Patriot League Championship because its just as good). Call me spoiled, but I want to see how good it feels to support a champion again. That is my sports wish for my early 30s.

    I am bitter about the Knicks and Mets droughts (1973 and 1986 respectively), but I got to see both Syracuse win a championship in 2003 and the Giants win in 2008. Both underdogs and what an amazing feeling. I hope your Mets win soon, man. Maybe the Nets are the next one of your teams to win.
