Joe, you’ve broken my heart.

Last year, you had me at “College major: Computer Science.” I was damn impressed — you were likely only a handful of Division I college basketball players majoring in Computer Science. You were a geek, but also a major stud on the court. And look at your tastes:

Favorite Television Show: Anything on the Discovery Channel
Favorite Song: Canon in D-Minor
Favorite Class: Introduction to Programming, 10th Grade, Hong Kong International School
Best thing about my major: That my kids some day won’t be more computer literate than I am.
Favorite Food: Mangoes

You’re not a bad looking guy, either.

If I had a daughter, I’d want you to marry her. If I were gay, I’d want to marry you.

You’ve had a great season so far. So this past week, I thought I’d check up on you. You can just imagine how heartbroken I was when I saw this in the 2007-2008 West Virginia player profiles:

Joe Alexander…majoring in athletic coaching education…

I don’t love you as much anymore, but I understand the change. It’s not easy being a student-athlete. I still give you major props for being a Big East Academic All Star. But you broke my heart, dude.

Good luck against Georgetown tomorrow — I’ve been looking forward to this game all season. I for one want to see if you Mountaineers are for real. You’re second in the Big East, but besides the win against Marquette (who hasn’t been looking very good lately), you’re mostly unproven. Let’s see what you’ve got.
