You  know, just once I'd like to see a sentiment about the basketball 
team  that's somewhere between "we could make the T-word" and "Carmody  
might/should be fired." (Not to pick on Alan; this was just the latest  
example.) Yes, the loss sucked, and losing at home doesn't bode well for  
the rest of the Big Ten schedule, but I doubt anyone is nearly so gloomy  
if that Illinois player misses the last shot. There is a middle ground  
between the two roller-coaster extremes, folks, and I believe that's  
where the truth currently resides.

Personally, I've been more  excited about (and had more fun watching) 
this basketball season than any  in about 15 years, and unlike the 1994 
season this team isn't packed with  seniors. If this were supposed to be 
a peaking year (like that of our  football team), I guess I would be more 
discouraged. As it is, the only  way I'd consider getting rid of Carmody 
would be if we went on a major  losing streak and missed the postseason 
altogether.

For the sake of  our entire athletic program, I hope Jim Phillips isn't 
as mercurial as  this list can sometimes get.
