[NU Sports] FINALLY!!!

[neonrye at aol.com]

 Coach Roy,

It isn't very often that you get one wrong, but this time you did.

Jerry Bock was the Composer (of the music) for Fiddler On The Roof.?? The Lyricist was none other than our fellow distinguished 'Cat alumnus--Sheldon Harnick--whom I have had the pleasure of meeting a couple of times and telling him how much the songs from that wonderful show have meant to me.? He is a wonderful man and is very loyal to, and supportive of, NU.

As an aside, great job Dennis.? However, I think the song to cite here from Fiddler is "Tradition"--and we don't have one in Mens' Hoops, except constant and unbearable losing I am afraid.? Sorry to be such a pessimist, but not having seen the game (no Big Ten Network option) and figuring this is a one-shot deal, I still expect a lot of "L's" the rest of the way.

Paul Levinson

Jerry Bock is jumping in his grave.!

Great rewriting of the lyrics.!

I'll never hear those words again without thinking of today's win.

For those who bet on games...
"if I was a rich man..."

As Motel Kamzoil so famously said [sang],
 
Wonder of wonders miracle of miracles,
Cats took up winning once again.
Didn't stand around and miracle of miracles
They won their first in the Big Ten.

Wonder of wonders miracle of miracles,
Bill put in Nash to get rebounds.
He ripped the boards and miracle of miracles,
For once they did not look like clowns.

When Moore he softened Carmody's heart, that was a miracle.
When Thompson made the defense fall apart, that was a miracle too.
But of all Bill's miracles large and small, 
The most miraculous one of all
Is that out of some guys who can't much play
Bill has made a team today!

OK, that's their annual upset.  What happens next?
