My beloved Spartans had a 16 point lead at one point in the first half and lead by nine at halftime. Then they collapsed in the final eight or nine minutes of play due to poor shooting and foul trouble, Davis fouled out, for instance, that I can't help but say was largely brought on by the officials deciding to not allow so much physical play.
There's no easy way to say this but it was a disappointing season. Out by mid-March and no championships to show for their efforts. But they did make it to the tournament and had an 18-12 record on the season. There are worse things, I suppose.

Pakistani military and intelligence officials said Thursday night that they believed they had surrounded Al Qaeda's No. 2 leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri, in a small cluster of villages near the border with Afghanistan.
The military officials said 7,000 regular army and paramilitary troops — backed by jets, helicopters and artillery — were in the area.
Stiff fighting between those forces and militants was continuing as of 1 a.m. Friday local time, military officials said. They said they would not try to enter the area until daybreak. They also said jets and helicopters might bomb the area.
So I take it that he views "terrorism" as far worse than not being able to hold governments accountable.
I would say Kwasniewski's position makes sense for someone who just wants to hitch a ride to The Power, but then why would he say this kind of stuff? posted by micah holmquist at 3/18/2004 09:49:00 PM
