Subject: [NU Sports] NU & ESPN this week ...
Message-ID: <20070401224457.72234.qmail@web52912.mail.re2.yahoo.com>

I know we're not exactly all over the network, but it
was odd to flip the channel when I got home twice this
week and see Cats news on the family of sports
networks.

I caught some of the HS All-American game and saw a
commit from New Trier who will be joining the NU
women's team next year. They said it was the first
McDonalds AA to commit to the Cats ... she made the
finals but lost there. Dunno how much she can do, but
it's nice to see a good recruit from Chicagoland
staying in the area.

Then today, I guess ESPN Classic is having some "Stump
the Schwab" marathon and when I flicked it on, the
question was:

"What NCAA football team set a record in 2004 by
playing in four overtime contests."

Of course, WE know the answer but neither the
contestant nor the "Schwab" did.:)

GO CATS!!!

Brit Hume is the best questioner I have ever heard which is why I guess a lot of politicains don't like to be on Fox News Sunday when he is the host.  He expects answers.  One time he got so infuriated with Scowcroft, Bush I's National Security advisor tht he asked him, "If you didn't want t o answer any quetions why did you agree tocome on the program?'  I used to watch CEO's dance around analysts' and portfolio mangrs' quesiotns and it did them no good.  I've got no problem with aggresisve questioning as long as it isn't in the context of an agenda.  I heardd one CEO answer a quesiton honstly when he said, "beats the hell out of me"; honst and direct, no BS.

Will we ever have one?  Now that the Final Four is history, and CBS  has 
ended with the traditional song and collage of spectacular plays in the  
Tournament, the emptiness of the NU experience in college hoops hits me once  again.  
We have such a wonderful tradition in so many areas--stage, music,  
engineering, business, and now even football--why can't we recruit one "Fab  Five" of our 
own to take us to the heights--not the Final Four--just the  Sixty-Four?    
There are no excuses, and that's what has to come  from the top (President 
Bienen) down.  Otherwise, why don't we just give up  the sport entirely for the 
men?  It is time to demand excellence, when we  can't even achieve mediocrity 
any more.

Paul, please don't misunderstand my premise here....

But that attitude was the one that almost led NU to quit the Big 10 back when we
were both in Evanston. Outside of a few "country club" sports [Tennis and Golf],
NU was not a bastion of athletic excellence. You probably remember the attempts
by some faculty to kill off all Div I athletics so NU could concentrate on being
an solely academic institution, using the U of Chicago model.

Forget that U of Chicago later embraced more athletics to recruit a more
balanced student body.

Anyway, I personally thin the biggest effect of the game last night on the
Wildcats is that now Oden and Conley [sic] will come back for another shot at
the NCAA.

NU needs to hire a top notch coach from a program that has made it ti at lest the final four and play that person whatever it takes to get him.  It can't be a has been either, thinking Donovan or Smith ex-Kentucky now Minnesota.  Otherwise you are correct, get out of BB and plunk the money into Men's Lacrosse or some other men's sport where we might have a chance of competing in the near term.  Michigan State did it a few years ago (not dumping BB) but rather building a competitive Lacrosse program before dumping it because of Title IX,  Baseball is another program that hasn't reached its potential since Fred Lindstrom was the coach.

I think Paul has a point.  The answer is spend enough  money to make a get a real shot at improving th program.  Duke has  obviously made the decision, a wrong  one in my opinion, to not putting  any real effort into the football program, but rather putting it into basketball, and lacrosse (until the PC crowd jumped in, and to baseball to a lesser  extent.  My son who lives in Virginia came to the last Duke game we played there and said that thee are high school stadiums that are better than Duke's.  As one of my Army CIC mentors once said, judge people by what they do, not by what they say and what Duke's and NU's words say are none thing and their actions something else.

One would think that a really good coach, given a top compensation package,  
with Chicago as a media base, and the opportunity to "Take the Purple to the  
Promised Land" (i.e., the NCAA Tournament) and to thus echo GB's  
once-in-a-lifetime achievement, would go for it.  It won't be an easy sell,  and I hate to 
see Carmody go in many ways, but I can't help thinking that we  need someone 
else with a broader vision who will recruit more athletic and  creative 
players.  As far as I am concerned, Corey Brewer was absolutely  magnificent 
throughout the tournament.  We have never had a player of that  incandescence, on 
offense, defense and on the boards.  You cannot convince  me that there are not 
at least a couple like him (or Mike Conley, Jr.--another  "winner" in every 
sense) in this entire country with decent SAT's and a good  academic record.  
It's time for someone like that to come to Evanston and  lead us to a place we 
have never been.

So it's back to the old "dump Carmody" routine.  And who will you get to 
replace him?  "Anyone" never coached a winning basketball team.  The odds of 
getting a renown coach with a winning track record to come to Northwestern 
are three:  very slim, less than very slim, and you have got to be joking. 
Coaching changes are no guarantee of winning and certainly never have been 
for Northwestern.  Even the fabled Bobby Knight has failed to take Texas 
Tech to heights of glory.  Coaching isn't the problem at NU.  Recruiting is, 
and that is not all on the shoulders of the head coach.  We need flashy 
facilities that will impress a kid on a recruiting trip, and that we do not 
have.  Neither has Northwestern ever had an assistant basketball coach who 
could appeal to the black player.  Maybe Taveras Hardy is that guy, but that 
remains to be seen.  The university just might have to take a flyer on an 
athletically gifted but academically marginal kid, too, but they have shown 
no inclination to do that.

And dump basketball for a minor sport such as lacrosse?  Please.  Dump 
lacrosse so you have more money to spend on basketball.

We have the coach that will lead us to the promised land = it will just 
take a few years until he is ready to take the reins.  Tavaras Hardy, he 
of the Cats of a few years back, has the contacts throughout the Chicago 
youth basketball scene for recruiting purposes, understands what it 
takes to succeed at NU and has the coaching skill to get it done.  He 
just needs a few years of seasoning with Carmody and when Carmody is 
ready to step down (on his terms) Tavaras will be ready.  If Carmody 
hasn't done it by then, Hardy will, believe me.

Joe Kennedy's dad was on WGN a few weeks ago....and Kaplan asked him about BC..

His response was that there were only 3 guys who could actually be reasonably
successful at NU [win about .500 most of the time and finish in the middle of
the Big 10], Pete Carrill, Bob Knight and Bill Carmody.

He then said that Knight probably wouldn't come, Carrill wouldn't and we had BC
so...

I will just pipe in and say why only  these 3 guys ? With Duke, Vandy and 
Stanford all making the dance this year, why can't we ? We have one big advantage 
over those three schools  in that Chicagoland  offers a  high school hoops 
bananza of talent--True it's not good weather and we have more competitors 
within a few hundred miles than do the others, but I  can't believe that there 
aren't more coaches out there with the proper support that couldn't take us to the 
sweet 65--I just don't know who they are

Well, I'm sure we all hope Mark is right, but who really knows if Hardy 
is the guy?  I think that getting a really big-time coach is very 
unlikely.  Why would a name coach want to come to NU?  It would have to 
be an extraordinary individual who relishes a major challenge, and I 
can't imagine a coach who's already paid his dues and then earned a 
large measure of success wanting to go through all that aggravation.  To 
such a coach, coming to NU would be a step down.

To me, the more likely candidate to succeed at NU would be someone for 
whom NU is a step up -- namely, a successful coach from a mid-major 
school who has already taken his school to the tournament.  Coaches from 
three schools immediately come to my mind -- the coaches at Southern 
Illinois (Sweet 16 this year), Virginia Commonwealth (beat Duke) and New 
Mexico State (Reggie Theus, who once played for the Chicago Bulls).  
And, I don't even care if  that new coach got us to the NCAA, then left 
NU for greener pastures.  I just want to see us get to the tournament 
once in our lifetime.

Seeing Iowa, Michigan and Minnesota already make moves heightens my 
belief that we are doing nothing by being stagnant.    --   Jim B.

Jim, as he has many times in the past, hits the 3-pointer from way  out.  
Reggie Theus is the kind of idea that has "legs".   He  knows what it takes to 
win at any level, and I have to believe he will be able  to recruit.

I don't necessarily agree that there are only 3 guys, Kennedy was sort of
fending off Kaplan's attempt to see if he was interested in NU and I don't think
he is.
 
Depending how he does at Brown, Craig Robinson is a guy with Chicago recruiting
roots and would be a good recruiter here, so is the guy who is at Penn, Glen
Miller, who won the Ivy League fairly easily. Both guys should know how to
attract the smart players, but can the get the guys capable playing at the Big
10 level?
 
Anyway, the pressure is on BC to produce. At least he has the Hosses coming in
[we hope] to do just that.
 
But where oh where is that big man?

advantage over those three schools  in that Chicagoland  offers a  high school
hoops bananza of talent--True it's not good weather and we have more competitors
within a few hundred miles than do the others, but I  can't believe that there
aren't more coaches out there with the proper support that couldn't take us to
the sweet 65--I just don't know who they are

Roy:

I think that we have had enough experience with Ivy League coach.  They can't seem to take the next step up.  Thompson is a different story.  He is following his old man's style of having an all black team with a show case white guy sitting on the  bench unless there is a blow out.   He also probably has no academic restrictions.  NU can't win without being able to attract black guys who can also graduate.

Subject: [NU Sports] The Purple in San Diego
Message-ID: <c66.109a1452.334708bb@aol.com>

OK troops, listen up.  I was visiting my brother in  the Naval Hospital in 
San Diego due to ongoing chemo and radiation treatments  for lymphoma (btw, 
treatment going well; 2 more weeks to go), and on Monday,  while my brother was in 
treatment, my sister and I went to the U.S. Olympic  Training Facility in 
Chula Vista , CA ( a suburb of San Diego) and went for a  splendid tour of our 
impressive facility (highly recommended) . All "outside"  summer Olympic sports 
train here.
   Anyway, a very congenial, knowledgeable senior citizen named  Chuck took 
us for a tour, and we learned so much about training, selection  criteria, 
politics of the USOC, etc.
  At the end of the tour, Chuck invited us to a small (seats 20-25)  room to 
watch a short movie on Olympic spirit.  I noticed his last name was  "Single". 
 I asked if by any coincidence, if he was related to Doug Single,  a former 
NU Athletic Director.  He responded, " I'm proud to say, Doug is  my Son."
   I had on my NU hat and 10 year 1995 Anniversary Rose Bowl  T-Shirt, and 
what ensued was a wonderful chat on the hiring of Dennis Green, and  giving GB a 
platform to build on; Chuck was proud to explain that son called the  
administration to task by saying if he couldn't do his job, he would leave  
immediately.   Furthermore, Green and Single steadfastly believed that  NU could 
survive and thrive in the Big 10.  
   Chuck reminded me that his son was known as a "fix it"  guy.  He cited the 
hiring of his son to SMU was after the Death Penalty was  imposed on the 
Mustangs after he left NU.   
   While we can argue that Francis Peay wasn't a positive  experience, and 
SMU has never been a football power since the early 80's, Single  and Green  
started what Rick Taylor and GB finished. 
  Chuck told me that his son lives in the Sante Fe, NM area, and is a  
fund-raising specialist.  For who, was not divulged.  It sounded like  he'd been 
there for awhile.
 
   Comment: I was very thankful for Doug Single.  He was one  of the first 
(post Dark Age) to "believe". For this I told Chuck to Thank him  for me.  I 
sincerely hope he does. 
  So if your at the U.S. Olympic Training Facility in Chula Vista ,  CA. ask 
for Chuck Single.  He'll talk NU with you, and knows "all things  Olympics" as 
well.
 
                 GO  CATS!!!               Eric

After losing in the finals of football and basketball, the BT finally wins a 
championship with MSU beating BC in hockey with  the winning goal coming with 
18 seconds left in the game--sad that one team had to lose

I know the question is mostly rhetorical, but it comes down to a few 
factors:

1) Alumni interested in funding hockey -- Chicago is currently not a 
hotbed in hockey.
2) Robert Crown Ice Arena in Evanston besides being a dump does not 
like Northwestern for a number of reasons including alcohol.
3) Given that factor NU probably needs to buid its own ice surface, 
which requires land which NU does not have and more money.  Practing 
and playing at Highland Park, however nice and inexpensive they are is 
not conducive to a varsity sport, nor will it bring student crowds.
4) To have a male sport you must have an equivalent sport, which costs 
more money:
Synchronized Skating
http://groups.northwestern.edu/synchro/main.html
Men's Hockey
http://groups.northwestern.edu/menshockey/

We enjoy, fund, and attend both club teams, but our level of funding 
lacks 3-4 additional zeros.

I hate to say it, but I've scored games like this in girl's softball, nothing
quite as extreme, but 10 run "mercy" rule games that ended after 4 1/2.

In tournament play, where the state champ comes from a state where they don't
even start outside practice the end of April and play until mid-May, its hard to
compete with teams that start practice in March and games in April.

I suspect we've something like that operating here, and it looks like the
Bridgewater coach played everyone on the bench and they still couldn't stop
scoring.

Also calls to mind an Orioles-Rangers game where even the shortstop pitched a
couple of innings and couldn't stop the Rangers, who won 25-3 or something like
that....

build some world class facilities, unlike Dyke, I mean Alan what did UCLA and

Interesting point - and since Mr. Ryan is chair of the
Chicago bid, I'm sure we could get included in some of
the plans (not to mention the beautiful, scenic
lakeshore Evanston offers). I'm not sure we'd have
much space for new venues, but maybe upgrading some
existing ones or playing preliminary rounds of some
events on our fields?

Personally, I think aside from transportation
nightmares with the CTA and freeway construction ...
Chicago would be a terrific host. It's truly one of
the great cities of the world and the "true American
city," the midwestern hospitality would be evident and
welcome the hosting opportunity. Plus the gorgeous
lakeshore in summer is darn near perfect ... it might
not be the Grecian shore of Athens or Sydney Harbour,
but it would certainly be better than Atlanta.:)

And given that Europe (London) hosts in 2012,
Chicago's probably the frontrunner at this point with
the US bid behind it - Tokyo is probably the chief
competitor, though Asia will be a host in 2008.

Could be interesting to see the Olympics in Evanston!

It's quite unlikely that NU would become a venue for a variety of sports - one of the central features of the Chicago bid is its anticipated compactness.  There's already a fair amount of info about proposed venues out there; so far NU is proposed to host soccer matches at Ryan Field.  Track is extremely unlikely, given the current configuration of Ryan - there is no track, and insufficient room to install one.   There are several good venues for basketball in Chicago already - and the newest one is at Chicago State.

Take a look at www.Chicago2016.org for some introductory info.

Alan probably has, or will soon have, more info about proposed venues than the rest of us have seen.

Well, NU may have an obligation to make no little plans, but the Chicago Olympic Committee, Pat Ryan notwithstanding, has no obligation to make them on NU's behalf.  One of the challenges facing the committee is the number of new venues that will need to be constructed.   Basketball arenas we already have in good supply, between the United Center, Allstate Arena, and Chicago State's brand new facility.  It would be foolhardy for the Olympic committee to help finance a new basketball arena for NU.  Now, if NU were to decide to take action, I'm sure the Committee would consider its use.

The Olympic Committee does not, indeed should not, finance a new arena for  a

NU would have in building a new arena--sale of seat "licenses" combined with

Um, is Ryan Field big enough for an Olympic soccer pitch?

A football field is 120 yards long and 160 feet wide.

Most international soccer pitches are between 110 and 120 yards long,
so that's not a problem, but they are usually 70-80 yards wide, so they
need an additional 50-80 feet of width.

How wide are the team areas on the sidelines and how much of that is grass?

Take a look at the last three thumbnail pictures on the "proposed venues"
page.  For the preliminary soccer matches (along with Soldier Field), it
would be NU's Dyche Stadium/Ryan Field, NIU's Huskie Stadium, and
Minnesota's yet-to-be-built TCF Bank Stadium.  400 miles seems like kind of
a long way to go for the athletes and fans, but I guess it is only an hour
flight or a 6-6 1/2 hour drive if you go 70 mph.  -Joe

Having worked at the aquatic center, I can tell you that it doesn't
have nearly enough seating.  This, I suspect, would be a problem for
any facility at NU, save Ryan Field, which would probably only be
sufficient for preliminary soccer matches; soccer, track, and
gymnastics are huge draws, especially track & field, which is usually
done in the (large) main Olympic stadium.

Everyone,
 The venue plan is at the Chicago 2016 website, as Jim Bendat has
already noted. That's your best source of what's going to be where, and
you can see that Northwestern's facilities would be bit players in any
2016 Games in Chicago.
 Why? Lots of reasons, but perhaps the main ones are that 1) the Chicago
idea is to center as much activity as possible around the downtown
lakefront, and 2) every separate Olympic site requires security, and
security takes lots of money and other resources.
 All that said: it's one thing if the Northwestern administration opts
to seize the moment (if, come 2009, the International Olympic Committee
so says that Chicago's moment is 2016) and try to capture the enthusiasm
of the Games by launching its own building program in Evanston. That is
a related but entirely separate conversation.
 Best, Alan

Alan is right, IF the NU administration chooses to seize the moment, which  
they will not do being athletic wimps from way back. IF only they could see 
what  the Gators have gotten from athletic success. Made the school a winner,

In about every category other than football and men's basketball,
Northwestern kicks the ass of the University of Florida.

NU is not a loser school, it's just a private institution with its
priorities straight.  Let's try to maintain a little perspective, eh?

Alan is right, IF the NU administration chooses to seize the moment, which  
they will not do being athletic wimps from way back. IF only they could see 
what  the Gators have gotten from athletic success. Made the school a
winner,  
not  a loser like NU.

So, I'm curious...couldn't we use the bid to rebuild McGaw and then offer it
to the USOC for team handball/volleyball/badminton, etc? I mean there are
OTHER indoor Olympic sports besides Basketball. Right?

Right, and most of them are happening at McCormick Place (again, per
the bid website...), so they are all in one giant venue, which seems
like a cool idea to me.

Exactly - I really don't see how NU is a "loser" in
any respect. We have a respectable recent history in
football - basketball may be another story (though UF
hardly stacks up to Indiana, UNC, Kentucky, etc.
there) ... and our other athletic programs more than
hold their own.

And then you get to the school itself, where an NU
degree is so far out of Florida's league that they'd
need a telescope in Gainesville to glimpse it.

I really don't think we need to compare ourselves to
mass jock factory schools like Florida, Ohio State,
Texas or USC. NU is in another category and to be
honest, that's fine by me. I sure as heck know where
I'd want my kid to go.

As for the Olympics, that's fine if we can't get in on
the games ... Evanston isn't exactly the most
accessible place for a big event ... it just might
have been cool and it's tough to see a more
picturesque venue for some events. Soccer prelims
would be fun -- weird that Minnesota would be a venue
other than a place in Wisconsin or Indiana (West
Lafayette is a grass field and closer).

Message-ID: <20070417.044840.1570.1979449@webmail07.nyc.untd.com>

I can't believe I am defending Florida.  Florida is definitely not top 
tier among state schools -- Michigan, Berkely, UT-Austin, etc. but it 
is right up there.  In most college studies I have read they say only 
good things about UofF.

That being said it is impossible to compare Northwestern and Florida.  
>From a campus perspective alone we are a fully built-out school 
surrounded by a fully built-out community.  We can't build new 
buildings or the requisite parking without tearing down existing ones 
or removing the limited greenspace.  Their campus is 10 times the size 
acreage wise yet it only has 4 times as many students.  Beyond that 
they are allowed to build 20+ story dorms which make a better use of 
the space they have.

In regards to the Chicago bid I am apprehensive about the disruption 
caused by the equestrian, mountain biking, etc. that are supposed to 
be 5 miles north(Lakewood preserve Wauconda) of my house.  The 
infrastructure is not there to support ANY additional traffic(ZERO 
public transit near the site).  Beyond that I use and pay for the 
forest preserves they are planning to "borrow".  Furthermore many of 
the lesser roads that are talked about being "closed" for security 
purposes are among the only safe roads to cycle on.

I am not among the group of homeowners in Lake County that are trying 
to kill the olympics, but I have some not-in-my-backyard 
inclinations.  Chicago can have their fun and given Chicago's size 
there won't be much disruption, but don't spread the pain into 'burbs 
which are not designed to double their population.

Leslie--
I was shocked to get the email from your dad, and I hope your mom is now 
resting comfortably.  We are all thinking of you and your family.  My 
mom and Pam are so looking forward to being with all of you.  Does your 
mom have her computer at the health facility so she can check her email? 

We are all fine.  Jeremy was in St. Louis this past weekend to run a 
half-marathon.  He did it in a little over two hours.  He started 
running in January and has really gotten into shape.  Francine will be 
going to Paris for her junior fall semester.  She had wanted to go back 
to Israel, but we did not feel comfortable having her there.  Paris was 
her second choice--she is in a program which does not have a French 
language requirement.  Jason is starting to think about colleges and is 
preparing for his AP tests which will be in a few weeks.  Jim is working 
on the next edition of his inauguration book.  The Internet publishing 
company is helping him to promote the book so it should be available in 
about a year.  I'm keeping myself busy.  I almost had a part time job, 
but it fell through. 

Please know that you all are always in my thoughts.  I will especially 
be thinking of you on Saturday.

Love,
Marilyn

The Wildcats Number 1 ranked lacrosse team proved why again Monday 
shutting down number two Maryland 12-7 in a big game at Northwestern, 
which I haven't seen any discussion about on this list. It was probably 
NU's toughest match of the season and biggest win since the national 
championship game last year. It was also likely to be a preview of this 
year's championship game if form holds in the tournament.  I don't know 
where the Final Four is this year, but I'm sure it's a venue that will 
be more Maryland friendly than Lakefront Field.

The 2007 "Final Four" for women's lacrosse is in Philadelphia on  Memorial 
Day weekend; May 25 (Fri) and Sun. May 27. It's site is the venerable  Franklin 
Field where the Penn Quakers still play, and where the Eagles used to  
(shhhh....I can hear Chuck Bednarik knocking out Frank Gifford) play, as well as  the 
site of their last championship, a win over Lombardi's Packers. (1960)
  Tickets are cheap; check out NCAA's web site and loof for link,  or call 
the U of Pa. Ticket Office at 215-898-6151.  Also, our lacrosse  team is 
scheduled to play in Baltimore on CSTV at 5:00 Cat Daylight Time.  (ooops, vs, Johns 
Hopkins)  Additionally, the conference in which they play  in (ALC) has their 
tournament in Baltimore the first weekend in May. 
 
Football- not much chatter going on re: spring ball.  From what's been  
leaked it seems the offense is light years ahead of the defense.  No  surprise but 
not great news as well.  
 
   as always... go  Cats!!             elk

On the Spring 1. How many D-Linemen and LBs are injured vs O-Linemen.
2. We're breaking in two new OLBs - yes they played a bit last year, but this is
a new day for them.
3. I'm sure JB has turned up the coverages in the secondary, they're probably
learning more advanced reads.

I have som obligations that will force me to miss the spring game this
year...some things you just can't get out of....

To date, the baseball team has seven wins nd 20 losses.  What does this say about the program other than without a change in the coaching staff it won't get any better than this.  If NU doesn't want toput some effort into the program, why bother with it?

The past  weekly issue of the Washington Times has an article abut Jack Kent Cooke which includes  a picture of Mark Murphy when he played for the Redskins.

A story on CNBC this morning about Michael Jordan's son who is a high  school 
B-ball star.  His list of 5 or 6 colleges includes NU, that would be  a coup.

That's what I had heard last week--that he probably would walk on at
Illinois.  The reason that came to my attention is that he was rumored to be
looking at Winona State University in Winona, Minnesota (the top DII team in
the country--their DII-record 57-game winning streak was snapped in a
two-point loss in the championship game this year and the DII player of the
year last year was a Warrior).  The Winona State coach's name had been
brought up by some for the U of M vacancy eventually filled by Tubby Smith.

Anyway, I hadn't heard NU mentioned until this morning.  According to the
Times article, he's looking hard at Valpo and Davidson (scholarship) and
also at other schools including NU, Illinois, and PSU (as a walk-on).  He'd
definitely get to play at NU and PSU more than at Illinois.  If he walked on
at NU, it would be fantastic!  We wouldn't have to use up a scholarship, and
I think having his dad in the stands and around the program in an NU shirt
or hat would be unbelievable for recruiting.  Plus, Jeffrey would get a
great education.  Unless he gets a lot better in a hurry the NBA isn't
likely, so he'd be better off with a degree from NU than from anywhere else
he's looking.

When Clyde's kid decided to go to U of Penn, his explanation was that Clyde told  him he would never make it in the NBA so get an eduction.  The same  argument can probably be made in the case of Michael Jordan assuming someone at NU isn't asleep at the switch.

Yes and with the old man's  costly divorce, the kid may need to earn a

I think if the basketball dept was really smart, they'd offer him a scholarship even if he'd end up being the worst player on the team. We've certainly given out schollies to some pretty useless players in the past, so what difference would it make in that regard? The positive would be Michael Jordan coming to games and likely to practices. Not only would it raise the profile of the program, it might do great things for recruiting -- kids coming in would know they would have the chance to hang out with Michael Jordan!
>From what I saw, his only schollie offer was from Davidson. A schollie from NU would be very hard to refuse for many reasons, and certainly better than walking on at Illinois.

Although MJ will have to fork over up to $150 million according to Forbes,  
he will still have around $200 million, I think that would make a scholarship  
for Jeff a bit difficult to justify.

MHRJGScott@aol.com said:

Although MJ will have to fork over up to $150 million according to Forbes, he will still have around $200 million, I think that would make a scholarship for Jeff a bit difficult to justify.

But athletic scholarships are not need-based, so no justification would be needed. Do you think Yannick Noah's son didn't get an athletic schollie at Florida because his dad was a famous tennis player?

I concur - why not give him a scholarship, plus it will save a few bucks on
recruiting visits (e.g. Carmody heading over to the Balkans searching for
players to fill out the scholarships).  PLUS when everyone inevitably calls
for Carmody's head following another mediocre season, someone can always
plead for Jordan to come in and coach.

In reality, though, I doubt this will happen.  I've only been an NU fan in
the Carmody era which has been one of the most consistent eras in NU
basketball (in terms of wins) and I'm already pessimistic, so take this as
you will.

I love this list, but if some of you folks don't visit the Rivals.com NU basketball board, it's worth a stop.  We've been discussing BOTH Jordan sons for quite some time there.

I'd say this one's a tough call.  Kid certainly doesn't NEED a scholarship, but we all know everyone wants the personal recognition that comes with one.  I don't think it's ridiculous to dream over the hoped-for publicity that would  possibly accompany a Jordan on the roster.  Heck, someone would even remember that Michael himself didn't make one of his high school teams and dream that one of his sons would blossom into something special for NU.

That said, scholarships are precious.  Sure, we've blown some with offering the wrong people - I won't mention any names and hope no one else feels the need to - we probably would agree on who they were.  But the last position we need to offer right now is a guard.  The universal feeling is we need a big man, and plenty of worry over whether we'll be able to get a good one.  The need at guard is way down the list by comparison.

I don't know how big Jordan's kid is but I doubt that he ever considered being a jockey.  The gene pool has to count for  a lot.

Well, I guess that's interesting - you don't know how big Jordan's kid is. 
If we don't know how big his kid is, let's offer him a scholarship and play him at center. The info is freely available, as are his stats and a lot of other information that should bear on one's thoughts as to whether or not to offer a kid a scholarship.

Yeah, the gene pool matters.  Tony Parker got most of the talent in his family, though TJ got some too.  If either Jordan son is anything like his father, it's a no-brainer.  So far the indications are that the elder son has mid-major potential.

ESPN Radio in Chicago just reported Trevor Rees suspended indefinitely by the University.  Only detail was 'violating regulations'.  I know he sat out 2005 for academic reasons.
 
Anybody else know anything ?

would not elaborate on the suspension, citing federal  privacy laws.

According to the Evanston Review, it was a DUI.  Court date is 05/21.

It is unfortunate that he won't be able to play (since the 'Cats need his
experience at center) and since he fought back from academic issues which
saw him removed from the team not too long ago.  He should face the
consequences of his actions, though, and according to department policy
apparently that means an indefinite suspension.

I don't think anyone else posted anything about NU's spring game, but 
I'll throw in a few words.  I was there, in town visiting my daughter, 
and taking in a beautiful day at the stadium.  They gave out free Lou 
Malnati's pizza and free Big Ten Network T-shirts.  It was very 
difficult to judge what kind of a team we'll have, but there were some 
memorable plays -- particularly, a diving TD catch by Andrew Brewer and 
a couple of crushing hits by Deante Battle.

I also got a chance to speak with Darnell Autry.  I reminded him of the 
one other time we had met.  It was in December 1995, a few days before 
the Rose Bowl, at Universal Studios Hollywood.  My two young boys and I 
were there with the team, going around the amusement park.  It was time 
to go on a ride, only I couldn't join in because I have a bad back.  
Darnell then took my place on the ride, watching my two guys for me.  I 
reminded him of that afternoon, and his eyes lit up.  Because it was 
sort of a unique incident, I believe him when he said he remembered it.  
He asked me how the kids are now doing, and I asked him about himself.  
He told me he got his degree in June and is now working toward his 
masters and also doing some counseling for the athletic department.

I think that that is terrific that Autry  got his degree and is working on a graduate degree.

Autry has been around the team lately, and is an NGN member.

He is a great guy - when I talked to him about remembering his exploits on the
field, he lit up like a Christmas tree - like he really didn't expect anyone to
remember his days at NU. He was really glad he was back at NU, and whatever he
does down the road, he'll be an outspoken advocate for sticking it out for your
degree.

I hope NU can find something for him to do while he gets his PhD

Subject: [NU Sports] No-hitter for freshman Lauren Delaney
Message-ID: <46350F87.8040205@earthlink.net>

We just finished a perfect 4-0 weekend, sweeping a DH from Illinois, 
12-4 and 5-0.  In the second game, Lauren Delaney improved her record to 
17-2 with a no-hitter.  We're now 41-10 for the season, just percentage 
points behind Ohio State in the Big Ten.  Our conference season is now 
over, while the Buckeyes have two more league games next weekend.  If 
they sweep, the Big Ten tournament will be in Columbus.  But, if they 
lose one next week, we'll host the conference championship.
