[NU Sports] Isn't anyone else excited over the 2005 Cats?

[Jim Bendat]

Okay, Roy, I'll join in.  I'm very fired up.  With my daughter starting 
as a freshman this fall, how could I not be fired up?!  Last year, 
Basanez showed tremendous improvement from 2003.  If he continues to 
improve to any degree, I think we could have an excellent season.  If we 
can start 4-1, hopefully the winning momentum will carry us through the 
tough schedule in late October into November.  Aside from my daughter's 
academic goals, how about the following goals for NU sports while she's 
there:

1. Go to a bowl game and win it (first bowl win since 1949 Rose Bowl)
2. Go to the NCAA basketball tournament for the first time in school history
