[NU Sports] Barnett attending an NU game

That'd have been tough this year, since Colorado had a
game during each of our six home Saturdays. Maybe it
was another year?

The '95 Rose Bowl team was honored at halftime of the
Wisconsin game on Oct. 8 -- I don't recall a video
message from Barnett that day and Colorado was hosting
Texas A&M, so I'm sure he was not there.

Well, it wasn't one this year so either he's reporting
old news or trying to start something to perhaps get
Barnett out of town.

Whatever the case, like I said, I wish Barnett no ill
will -- but he is indeed "damaged goods" at this point
and I wouldn't be surprised if he regrets his leap for
the greener pastures of Boulder at this point. His
choice. If/when he finally is canned in Colorado, he
may have to take the Mike Price/George O'Leary route
(two more coaches who probably rue the day they left a
good thing at his up-and-coming schools for greener
glory) and take a non-BCS league job and work his way
back up.

But I guess my big question would really be "who
cares?" This list should be alive with Sun Bowl talk
and anticipation of an good ole' shootout in West
Texas.

GO CATS!!!
