LETTERS TO THE EDITOR EDITORIAL CARTOON Finishing next to the 50 Before the race started I thought, “Wow I’ll run out of the tunnel just like the football players and cheerleaders onto the field and sprint all the way to the 50 yard line.” Of course there wouldn’t be the 80,000 person crowd cheering me on, but I would have the satisfaction of actually having been on the field sometime during my time here at Notre Dame. The Leprechaun started off the race and sent us on our way throughout the campus course. How disappointed I was while running toward the Stadium at the end of the race and descending down the tunnel’s path to see men in yellow jackets and yellow caution tape. The men said, “Keep to the right,” and the runners were directed to run around the out- side of the field. I finished next to the 50 yard line — not on it — and nowhere close to the center of the field. For a race that is called “Finish on the 50,” I think the runners should be able to actually run out onto the field. It’s false advertising to tell someone that they are going to be able to do something but in reality you never had any inten- tion of letting them. I don’t really see how a group of run- ners in tennis shoes could do any harm to the Stadium’s field anyway. Next year’s runners should be allowed to run out onto the football field and be proud of being a part of this Notre Dame community. We should all be able to take in for just one moment that amazing feeling of being on Notre Dame’s football field. Life is too short to place restrictions on trivial matters of who can be on the field because “runners will tear up the grass.” So next time let us finish on the 50!

But his personal numbers aren’t Wade’s main focus. “I don’t know if I’m going to score 40 again. I don’t know if I’m going to score 14,” he said. “My job is to do whatever I can to make sure we win the ballgame.” The Heat dropped the first two in Boston — 85-76 and 106-77 — when they lost their composure for key stretches. They led the opener by 14 points midway through the third quarter. In Game 2, they allowed a 44-8 surge that turned a 29-25 lead into a 69-37 deficit. Miami is 1-6 against the Celtics this season but had a solid chance in five of those losses. “We’ve shown we’re capa- ble of beating them. We just had to go ahead, go out there and finish, complete it,” Richardson said. “And now we need to do it again.” He left Sunday’s game with a bruised left hand and will play Tuesday night after an MRI showed it wasn’t broken. “We’ve been measured there mentally more than anything, and, at some point, they’ve gotten us to break,” Miami coach Erik Spoelstra said. “They’ve been able to control the games, particu- larly in the fourth quarters. And (Tuesday), we’re looking for our breakthrough. It’s got to be different.” Boston’s Allen hopes it is — at least from the free throw line. He struggled there Sunday despite shooting 91 percent this season. He hit one free throw with 2:36 left, cutting Miami’s lead to 96-92. Then he missed his next three, only the 10th time he’s missed that many in his 1,103 games in the regular season and playoffs. So he did some extra free throw shooting Monday. “I took about 150. I missed five of them,” he said. If he had made those three on Sunday, or if Wade had missed a few more shots, the series might already be over. If Miami wins Tuesday, it will continue. “The world is all about ‘what ifs,’ “ Allen said. “We don’t want to be in ‘what if’ forever. We want to control our destiny.” page 16 The Observer N SPORTS Tuesday, April 27, 2010
