[NU Sports] No one talking basketball

... Thank goodness. 

I was at a 2003 (I think) game against Wisconsin when the fumblerooski Fg worked for a key score and the Bucky fan I was with was yelling "Fake!" from the outset (not that that helped any) so perhaps it is easy to spot. 

I still agree with going for the win, though. 

To my mind the biggest thing about next year is eliminating the need this year's team had to get (at the least) 10-14 points behind before starting to play (PSU and Wisky the exceptions). We were exceedingly fortunate to beat Purdue, Indiana, and Iowa after double-digit deficits and we lost to Syracuse and Auburn because we fell behind early. That has to stop. 

My second worry is special teams and no one who watched the Outback Bowl could disagree.  

Third is who replaces McManis, to my mind the biggest defensive playmaker at NU since Fitz.
