     I didn't say he has no right to FEEL the way he does.  Maybe he does 
but how he feels isn't the thing to me.  It is always a more classy to put 
something to bed than discuss it throught the media.  Doing the classy thing 
isn't always the easy thing.  I think the best thing Ostergard could do is 
not say anything.

      I am not sure if you were one of them or not but when Lucky was taken 
to the hospital that was perfectly fine with most that it was kept private. 
It was something about Lucky's right to privacy.  Now we expect Pederson and 
Callahan to just open up and spill it all.  Maybe, just maybe, if Callahan 
and Pederson opened up it wouldn't look too good for Ostergard.  Because of 
that Pederson and Callahan feel it is in Ostergard's best interest and the 
best interest of the program to keep it private.  There is that possibility. 
Even if that isn't true it proves nothing to air it in the media.

     I am 100% sure that is true.  But, that really is neither here nor 
there if or not Ostergard is doing the right thing by airing it in the 
media.  There are certain people I feel close to as well but I don't believe 
just because I am close to them means they always do the right thing.  I 
know I don't always choose the right road.  I really wasn't coming down on 
Ostergard as much as just feeling right or wrong it would be better to let 
it go unless he can prove something illegal transpired.  He keeps saying he 
doesn't know why he was fired.  Doak has been around the NU campus a long 
time.  Maybe Callahan didn't come right out and say why but I have a hard 
time accepting the fact Doak has absolutely no idea why he was let go.
