I looked back of the season's results yesterday morning and saw that our largest margin of defeat was nine points at NC State.  Duke lost by 8 at NC State and by 27 at Miami earlier this week, and, for some reason, that cheered me up a little bit until last night's game.  I can't recall any game in the last 25 years with less effort or poorer execution on defense and on the glass. That game would have been hard to watch if I was a Colorado fan, and I would have been wondering why the AD was waiting until the end of the game to make a coaching change.  Dawkins is best suited for youth league--he plays everybody, which would keep the Moms happy.

So, where the heck did dilemma with an n come from?  I'm sure this was used as an example of a silent n in my high school English class.  Am I nuts?

Apparently, you are neither nuts nor alone: http://www.dilemna.info/index.php
But you may be from another dimension:

So, my favourite Dilemna theory suggested by Marden Paul is that we are the victims of a collision between alternate universes and that's why so many are adamant that their spelling is the absolute correct one - they used to live in the Dilemna universe but have shifted into this present Dilemma one...

I've refrained from much comment on the season to date based on application of that old principle about not saying anything if you don't have something nice to say. 

I admit, though, that the prior posts lamenting that the problem with the team this year is that, essentially, the posters just couldn't bring themselves to care really hit the nail on the head.  That was driven home to me last night when, as the second half of our game started, I found myself much more interested in watching the end of the UCLA/Arizona game, with only infrequent clicks back to our game for a quick [and relaiably discouraging] score check.  I can't remember the last time I'd felt that way.

The body language during the game, as well the quotes in the paper after the game, sure seem to indicate that everyone is in "play out the string" mode.  Thank goodness for the extended football season and the advent shortly of the baseball season.

Why thank you 76LSJUMB!  I'd much rather be a multi-dimensional world hopper than simply a poor speller.
