10. Hope that #ChelseaFC, yet again miraculously, builds a wall in front of the goal and manages to score a few goals and win back to back UEFA Championship. After all, we have some fresh blood (Oscar, Marin, Hazard, ...) in the system!
09. Maybe I will pay more attention to the NFL season, despite my distinct dislike to the sport purely based on the average lifespan of an NFL player (52-55, 20 years less than a normal human being). Its fun to watch the sport, dont get me wrong, but its just not good for any of the players.
08. Hope for the Warriors to turn their season around, yet again. OK, thats beyond hopeless
07. Visit FearTheFin regularly everyday, hoping for some more mathematical wizardry. Really guys, you make it fun. (http://www.fearthefin.com/2012/8/10/3232773/non-traditional-metrics-glossary-corsi)
06. Sell all my Sharks jerseys and collectibles and get rich quick (ok, #massive_fail)
05. Watch last few years Sharks playoff as if its the new seasons playoffs. As sharks fan, you expect to lose. But, normally, its to different opponents every year! So, this wont be as real.
04. Form an alternate hockey league. Rule #1 in the league - never allow a lockout
03. Save on ticket cost and caltrain cost and arena cost and spend it on a nice soccer vacation in Europe
02. Play tennis, even more!
01. Hope for the lockout to end, everyday?
