Hoping Against Hope

My Indiana Hoosiers have the unenviable task of going up against Duke in tonight's battle of the Sweet Sixteen. Lots of rabid folks back in my home state of Indiana are giving coach Mike Davis a hard time because he's not Bob Knight. Get a grip, folks. Mike's got the confidence of his players and is doing just fine, thank you very much. Besides, isn't it a relief not to have all that bad press any more?

There's not a coach in the country that wouldn't love to have recruited Jared Jeffries. But he chose none other than Mike Davis. That ought to tell you something. Go Hoosiers! You'll probably lose, but show'em what you're made of. Make those cocky Blue Devils sweat for it.
