Ever upbeat, aren't you Brad?  Unfortunately, the odds say that you are 
right - unless they recruit a Shaquille or Michael clone and a shooting 
guard or two.  The way they shot threes this season Northwestern ought to 
change "Welsh-Ryan" to "The Brickyard."  And rebounds?  We don't want no 
stinkin' rebounds!  They played hard and were well coached, but they were 
ponies playing in a field of Budweiser stallions.  If they want to pull the 
beer wagon they had better grow up.

Damn, it's frustrating that we can never beat Penn State twice in a season 
(in spite of the fact that Penn State fans don't seem to care).  Did we do 
it in the Esch year perhaps?
