God only knows what I'd be without you...

Many times have I resisted the impulse to post about sports in this space. At times I have succumbed to the desire, but mostly it has been in a frivolous, fantastical sort of way, claiming to have won several NBA championships or thrown a seventy yard touchdown pass late in the fourth quarter of some epic football clash, or something of that

Yeah, I'm with Rem. I especially hate the part where our sports dept. said, "We'd love to pay the same percentage of fees that everyone else is (6% as opposed to their 1%), but we can't afford it because we want to play in a higher division than we deserve to be in."

I totally agree that UI has its priorities screwed up in terms of funding. Everyone would be happier (including the sports fans) if they just went back down to Division II where they could be successful and it wouldn't require absurd funding to be requisitioned from the actual educational departments of the school. We have Miki Bohn's dad to thank for that. Partially, anyway.
