[NU Sports] basketball?

Don't forget Jim Stack....if not for the Stackman we'd never give Michael Jenkins, Gaddis and Andre a second thought.

That was a fun team and a fun season.

Rich Falk, Andre Goode, Gaddis Rathel, Art Aaron etc. did win the games  they 
should.  They may not have been great, but they were fun to  watch.  Can we 
even imagine fans and students riding the el to DePaul to  see one of BC's 
teams ?

"If the recruits pan out." How  many times have we heard that? I predict: as 
usual, one will be so plagued  with injuries he's a non-factor, another will 
transfer because he wants to  play for a team that can beat Cornell, a third 
will turn out to be a stiff and  maybe the fourth will be an OK player, maybe. 

NU basketball has  never in my memory "won the games it should." There's 
always awful losses.  Penn State, which should be a win, isn't all that often. 
And 
the non-league  debacles are killers. 

I hope for a long football  season!!!

Having heard Jim Phillips at the NU Club of NY Sports Night  in August (when 
he appeared with Fitz and Kelly Amonte Hiller) and his  response to one or two 
queries about the futility of our Mens Hoopsters, I  don't think that the AD 
will give BC a very long rope.  If he doesn't see  real progress -- in the 
form of wins, and not moral victories -- my strong  hunch is that he will wipe 
the slate clean and bring in his own guy.  On  the other hand, if the recruits 
pan out, and if the team at least wins games  it should win and pulls out an 
upset or two over the Big Ten powers or  middle level squads, then BC
 will 
likely survive.  And I think that is  how it should be.
