[NU Sports] Barnett attending an NU game

[Frank F. Loomis III]

You're right, Jim.  The MSU game was in East Lansing.
   
  So, it looks like that Rocky Mountain News writer got his facts wrong as to what team we played. However, both articles, the one I originally read and this second one said Barnett watched an NU game in Evanston.    
   
  In any case, that Rocky Mountain News writer's mistake about what team we played does not blur the point that Barnett came to Evanston and while there saw a Northwestern game.  What game it was does not matter.

  Speaking of wild imagination, that must have been quite an 
accomplishment for Barnett, because the Michigan State game was actually 
played in East Lansing.

He watched Northwestern's rout of Michigan State with CU trainer Steve Willard, who was with him in Evanston, Ill. 'You can't spend seven years of your life someplace and get to know all of those kids and people without being a fan,' " Barnett said. "I love Northwestern. I love Chicago. I love everything about it."
