The temperature in Chicago on
Wednesday ranged between 10- and 23-below; the wind chill offered an added
element of dare for anyone venturing out for more than a few minutes. In case you were wondering, this is why
Chicagoans come with an attitude.
Up on the North Side, close—and I
do mean close—by a frozen Lake Michigan, Loyola University had a basketball
game scheduled, against Northern Iowa.
Just over 3,000 fans took the dare to see the Ramblers prevail over the
Panthers, 61-60. The exploits of
Krutwig, Townes and Skokna will be frozen in time and memory: I was there, will say the 3,011 who cheered
and tried to stay warm at the Gentile Arena.
That, ladies and gentlemen, is what
sports should be all about.
