[NU Sports] UGHH

[cherron604 at aol.com]

Bill Carmody is a no-talent who has been protected by his buddy, Henry Bienen

He deserved to get canned YEARS ago

No other conference program would tolerate this many years of 'non-progress'

Someone like him would not be tolerated in the Football program

His 'Big Ten Adventure' has failed miserably, on so many levels

Send him back East, where his lousy style of play might be able to catch on somewhere - it will never catch on in a legitimate basketball conference 

Chuck Herron?? Tech '85

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.?
