Soccer sucks!  (That changes the topic from bashing Crean)

We have enough trouble keeping our basketball players out of the police blotter.

Soccer = Communist Sport

If I want to watch a sport that involves a goalie, I'll watch hockey.

Why doesn't MU start a hockey team?  Wilson Park would be a *great* place to play!!!!

We have a hockey team that went 8-4 last season, coming in third in their division behind Purdue and Iowa, ahead of Illinois State, Northwestern, Wheaton College, and Augustana. See: www.muhockey.com/Home.html

Real sport? How about hockey + lacrosse + baseball + axe-shaped sticks = HURLING!

See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmzivRetelE

With the women playing camogie, there would be equity.

As to why MU has no football. It's a very expensive sport. I was involved with the MU Club football team in the early 70's. One year the ASMU gave the team $25,000. I said "thank you" & was grateful. The same year Notre Dame spent almost $10,000 just on athletic tape!
