My readers need an 'IU guy'

By Ryan Phillips · Tuesday, July 25,2006 12:02 p.m.

Honestly, there's nothing more to say about the Hoosiers' season. I've analyzed all their shortcomings and successes repeatedly in my columns and after their 71-68 road loss to Penn State, I'm really over it. I've become irritable to strangers, I snap at my friends, I can't concentrate on my work and I'm pretty sure I have an ulcer. So I've decided to stop dodging questions about my situation and come clean. I do not feel I can do my job effectively for the remainder of the season. I think the Hoosier fans out there deserve one of their own to provide analysis on this team. I mean, I'm from San Diego, what could I possibly know about Indiana basketball? Clearly the act that I've been positive lately, while providing in-depth analysis of the team and imploring fans to understand that the season doesn't end in February, has met with resistance from the Hoosier faithful.

Beautifully played

By Ryan Phillips · Tuesday, July 25,2006 11:58 a.m.

While watching the World Cup last week at a sports bar in town, one of those "Joga Bonita" Nike commercials blared on the oversized flat screen in front of me. As I watched Brazil's Ronaldinho expertly knife his way through a group of helpless defenders I overheard a guy ask his buddies how anyone could consider soccer beautiful. He argued it was too boring and seemed pointless. "They kick a ball around, what's beautiful about that?" As I suppressed the urge to haul off and deck the jackass -- had his collar been popped there would have been no restraining me -- I pondered just how ignorant Americans are when it comes to the real football. On the whole, we simply don't get what it means to the rest of the world and probably never will. I'm here to try and bridge the gap and tell you why I love soccer and how I think it can change the world.
