     You will have to tell me.  He says of those tested no one tested positive.  I'll buy that.  What about those not tested or those tested after they have quit using the stuff for a while?  Steroids were used while TO was the coach.  Either he honestly didn't know or he let it go on.  It has to be one or the other.

      I will agree it was wonderful to have a man that could win games along with being a man of character.  But, you can't seriously make me believe if TO couldn't have ever finished above .500 his character would have mattered and kept him Head Coach for 25 years.  It was indeed winning that kept him Head Coach for 25 years. He could have been a man of the highest integrity ever but if he couldn't have won a football game the wolves would have been out.  If his character wouldn't have been what it was but his record would have been he still could have coached at NU for 25 years.  If it was vice versa I doubt he would have lasted that long.  The point is people want wins plain and simple.  NU fans are no different than anyone else.
