While I agree with you about Carr, all the UM fans I talk to have been 
screaming for his head all year - even before the losses began to pile 
up.  I'm not sure a win over the Bucks will satisfy them.  I think he 
has overstayed his welcome with the Big Blue Faithful but, that said, I 
don't see the UM administration retiring him.  John L. has already been 
hung in effigy several times in Lansing and as Sparty impoldes game by 
game, the likelihood of his remaining coach for longer than one more 
season seem dim.  I think they give him one more chance to make it 
right, but if he doesn't produce next year, he's gone.  Mason has 
nowhere to go; Tiller should go but PU won't fire him.  Hoeppner was the 
best hire IU has made in years and Illinois is well Illinois.
