The Isiah Thomas show is going to lose steam as the year goes on. It has to, right? There are only so many things to write about Thomas; most of them have been written already; and whatever new developments arise (barring catastrophe) are bound to be of the "yep, FIU still sucks" sort. What's the fun in that?

But if we do tire of Isiah Thomas, college coach, it won't be Zeke's fault. Exhibit A: The following quote, taken after last night's game, an 88-82 FIU win over NAIA team Florida Memorial:

“It feels great,” Thomas said. “Every coach, when he or she starts, especially after you’ve lost three games, you start wondering if you’re ever going to win a game. I told the guys at halftime, ‘I don’t care how we win. I just want to win the game, go home, rub my dog, wake up in the morning and see the sun.”’

Here comes the sun ... do do do dooo ... here comes the sun ... and I sayyyy ... it's all right ... do do do do do. I feel you, Zeke. Isiah feels like George Harrison, just before and after the Beatles broke up. With considerably fewer hallucinogens, probably.
