[NU Sports] Barnett attending an NU game

[Mike Nolan]

>   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.  

I beg to differ.  In fact, I question the facts of the story completely.

Looking at CU's schedule, the day NU was beating Michigan State the Buffs
were playing Kansas in Boulder.  It doesn't seem likely that Gary was at
the MSU game or even watching it at someone's home or office in Evanston.

CU's only open dates were the days of the ASU game--I doubt he was at 
that one, and the day of the Illinois game.  That game was not in Evanston,
and with the Nebraska game the following weekend, I doubt Gary was in
Urbana.

In fact, there was NO home game this season that Gary could have been at, 
since CU had games on every day that Northestern had a home game.

So, either the Rocky Mountain News writer got the facts VERY wrong, or
someone made the story up out of thin air.

EIther way, I don't see that as inconsequential.  

Can anybody come up with a link to this alleged story?
