[NU Sports] I have a few questions

[WildElk2 at aol.com]

  I'm pumped, as I'm hitting the road Labor Day weekend to see my beloved 
Cats.  But I have a few questions that maybe some old salts can answer:
1)  does NGN have a website? If not a website, do they have a booth at Ryan 
Field?
2) After breaking the curse against Iowa in 1995, we went to a restaurant 
thjat sat right below the Noyes St. "L" stop.  Is that restaurant still there? 
(P.S.  we ran into Lineman Paul Janus and his family; my memory is that Paul 
started in the line in 1996, and was a back-up in 1995.)
3) I'm taking my son to his 1st NU game in Evanston (he's seen a few games on 
the road as well as the M.C. Bowl); would taking a 14 year old to the campus 
be a good idea?  He gets straight A's; unlike his Dad!

  I still think our defense will determine how far we'll go this season. 
There is no one who will convince me that Penn St. or Wisky is better than us.  
Our depth has improved, as RW, despite his flaws, is developing a "system", 
something GB never did.  Even with Rees and Backes not playing, I believe a 4-1 
start is probable rather than farfetched. Minimum, we need a 3-2 start, and with 
Purple-haze sunglasses on, ASU has it's liabilities; can we start 5-0?  
   The NIU game should scare us. Novak wants this one pretty bad, as he wants 
to get a leg up on recruiting in Chicagoland.  I also believe that many more 
Huskie fans will be present then in years past.
   It's great to talk NU football. C'mon list, it's time to wake up!

                     GO CATS!!!                  Eric
