[NU Sports] Now we NEED to fire Walker....

[Jim Bendat]

While I agree that Willingham would fit in nicely at NU (as would Boise 
State's Gandhi-quoting, Aristotle-quoting, Socratic method coach Dan 
Hawkins), I do not agree with the title of the post.  We do not need to 
fire Walker, and I don't think we should.  Sorry, but this season was 
one of the most exciting ones we've ever had at NU.  Sure it was 
depressing to have lost that last game, but the thrills this team gave 
us this year is enough for me.  Four overtime games and a #1 graduation 
rate in the nation is more than satisfactory to me.  -- Jim B.
