Winter of discontent

·

2008 proffered an unusually harsh spring in Indiana, and I think we both know I’m not talking about the freeze that didn’t lift til May. No, Hoosier nation was in a well-documented tailspin that began slowly last October and took off like a bell curve in April.Such was the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by this son of Crean.Guess what, kids? It’s not summer anymore.Sure, the solstice technically comes Sept. 22. But summer ends on Labor Day, and the IU basketball team’s era of good feelings came to a halt this afternoon with the announcement of the Big Ten schedule, soon followed by IU’s own 2008-2009 slate.

Sunday’s season opener is going to be different for Peyton Manning.He’s playing in a new building, will take snaps from a new center and finds himself behind two new guards. The two-time league MVP can handle all those changes.It’s the other stuff he can’t answer yet.
