By Amie Dworecki · Tuesday, Feb. 8,2005 12:10 a.m.

Imagine unexpectedly experiencing a horrible pain in your back, and then a knot tightening so badly you cannot move or breathe. Or suddenly you become dizzy and get a severe headache.

It's that time of year again. It's that time of year when IU's athletic teams have to compete with a tough opponent that even the best scout can't diffuse. And no, this opponent can't serve a tennis ball, hit a three-pointer or even pin an opponent because this opponent has no athletic talent.
