short attention span's guide to everything

Today, we who are Irish recognize you who are not... 1 interesting comment to come from Mike Thomas' interview with Enquirer's Bill Koch: All UC basketball candidates, he said, are still coaching. That would eliminate Prosser, Stallings and Hewitt. And, possibly, keep Mick Cronin in the mix. UC could do worse than Mick, a good coach and a very good recruiter, a hometown guy good with the media... I had a coach tell me thursday that he believes Thomas knows more than what people think about getting a good coach in here... and that hiring head-hunters is not only standard practice now, it's practically mandatory... this coach said, "just because the guy hasnt said much doesnt mean he doesnt know what he's doing.'' We'll see... to this point, Thomas' public perception is killing him... and again, the only way anyone other than a starry-eyed young guy will take this job is if it comes with a 5-year deal, minimum... 7 years would be better... and the word also is, UC doesnt have the money ($1 million base) needed to lure a big name... I'll bet jon kitna sure is glad he left the bengals for the lions. How many QBs does Detroit have now? 28? Interesting to hear Bob Huggins on the radio yesterday, suggesting he might take an NBA assistant's job. Not so fascinating hearing Huggs say how in the NBA, players don't gripe about their minutes. Uh-huh... Memo to the night manager at the BW-3 at Harper's Point: When customers ask you to please put the LSU game on one of your 20 or so TVs, don't argue. Get the remote and do it... people don't go to sports bars yesterday and today to watch 1 or 2 games on 20 TVs... they go because they want to watch every game, because they are betting on every game. Is this hard? By the way, I was 12-4 yesterday, nailing Montana and Wisc-Milwaukee, losing Marquette and Syracuse and those dopes from Seton Hall... tell me, please, that Louis Orr will not be the next UC coach...
