Coach Dzik feels that fan support would also help the team be more successful, especially at home games which are played in the Dixon Center here on campus. He is disappointed with the school and student's support for their team. He finds it disappointing that at some of the past home games the visiting team's fans have outnumbered home support.

"Increased support for all of the teams at Cabrini is needed. In basketball having the students and school come out and support their own team can be a very big influence on how the team plays and on the motivation the team has. When a team knows they have the support of the crowd it is like having a sixth person out there playing on the court," Dzik said.

The goals of the team this year are simple, to make PAC playoffs and win a title. Coach John Dzik feels that this is a realistic goal for his team. "To make playoffs and win a title is the goals as of right now. If we win the title it would be an upset, for we are not favored to win, however I feel that if we concentrate at address are weaknesses we can pull it off." some games.

Cabrini's next game is January 26th against Wesley College and is an away game. The next home game is on the 28th of January. Come out and join Dzik's zoo in support of Cabrini Caviler's men's basketball.

Eventually, as the XFL's ratings plummeted, advertisers like Honda pulled their spots. In a last-ditch effort to attract advertisers, McMahon gave out free ad time during one week of play. He also got Governor Ventura involved in a "story-line" where he confronted the coach of the New York-New Jersey Hitmen.

The rules of the XFL were certainly different than those in the NFL. Players got paid more money to win games. McMahon did away with the pre-game coin toss, and instead added a scramble for the football between players of the opposing teams. There were no such things as "fair catches," and there were no "extra-point kicks." Players were forced to go for two points after scoring a touchdown.

Many television critics feel as though the XFL brought down the credibility of NBC Sports, and the NBC network, as well as the UPN and TNN networks.

Incidentally, the XFL joins many other NFL competitors in the realm of failed attempts. The United States Football League lasted for three season in the 1980s, and the World Football League lasted for two seasons, from 1973-1975.
