[NU Sports] Blue in Indy ...

Jim said "My dislike of Duke has little to do with their basketball success and A LOT to 
do with their arrogant alumni. They are the Notre Dame of the south."

If I ever find any alums that aren't arrogant, they need to get sent back to alum school.  I always thought the first lesson was highlight everything good (real and imagined) about old alma mater, and overlook anything bad.  A few have even labeled our alums as arrogant.  The horror !  

I always thought the Evil Empire's problem was that those alumni were not only arrogant, but thought the game of football was created, perfected and currently only played at ND.  Problem is, there has not been much meaningful football played there in years.

Harry,
I agree, all neutral fans should have been pulling for Butler.
My dislike of Duke has little to do with their basketball success and A LOT to 
o with their arrogant alumni. They are the Notre Dame of the south. 
To your point though, they have proven that the can maintain academics and 
ompete in basketball, which seems to be a beyond Northwestern's reach.
Go Cats!

Sure I wanted the Bulldogs to win. What neutral fan wouldn't ?  But let's not 
ompare the Dookies to the Cranks or Lakers who only get where they have been 
or are) because they play in large markets and know how to spend their wealth 
ell.   Sure Duke spends their wealth well but they also do what few others can 
o ;namely be one of the best in academics and hoops as well.  Unless someone 
ut there can tell me what Duke is doing improperly I will guess its just 
ealousy on those that harbor the same ill will on duke that they reserve for 
he yankees and lakers

Well, it appears I used up all my sports prayers/karma on the Super Bowl this 
ear.:)
And I guess I should be thankful for that ... because it sure has been a bummer 
ith the "Evil Empire Strikes Back" theme this year in sports ... A-Roid and the 
ankees, "8-Karat" Kobe and the Lakers, Nick the Slick and Bama, Coach 
ebras-Best-Friend and the Dookies ... Smug Geno and UConn tomorrow night ... 
gh. (If golf were a sport, you could throw in Mr. Chatty and his made-up 
ddiction who seems to have Brett Favre disease right now and WON'T GET OFF MY 
ANG TELEVISION WHILE I'M TRYING TO WATCH SPORTS HIGHLIGHTS ... )
Guess outside of Hollywood, Goliath really does win.
till feels icky.
But I can't complain too much ... I don't care if the Dookies get another cushy 
raw and win the next 20 tourneys or the B(C)S divides up their next decade 
etween SEC ego-dictators in Slick Nick and St. Urban ... I'm still on Cloud #9 
rom Miami. Good to see a guy like Drew Brees and the underdogs win once this 
ear ... may be the only time the lil' guys win one in awhile.:(
And that one game allows me to cling to the belief that one of these days, we 
ill see Coach Fitzgerald hoisting the Rose Bowl trophy as well and finish that 
995 fairy tale finish.
Great game, great tourney ... just heartbroken at the ending.
Oh well, the long dry season begins ... how many days until kickoff?:)
GO CATS!!!

gonizing loss--I feel almost as numb as I did after Fumblerooski at the 
utback.  Two great looks for Heyward, but nothing falls for the "LIttle Engine 
hat Could" at the end.  No knock on Bill Carmody, but I would give Coach 
tevens the President's House at NU and half of Pat Ryan's fortune to come coach 
he 'Cats--but it ain't gonna happen.  He is the hoops version of Fitz--a 
aby-faced assasin of a coach.  They played a great game, but never could get 
ver the hump to actually hold the lead once they had it.  It's tough to play 
rom behind virtually all night--no margin for error.

udos to the Bulldogs--they are a great team--and they have 2 Academic 
ll-Americans as starters.  Looking at Duke's fans, all I could think about is 
ow nice it usually is to kick their a-- in football.:-)

h well, as I said a week ago, our slogan for next year has to be "Why not us?"
