[NU Sports] Barnett

[Ben Adler]

The columnist's facts were fine; he just worded it in a confusing way.  Here's the quote:
   
  "Barnett attended a 10-year Rose Bowl reunion during the summer and keeps close tabs on the Wildcats. He watched Northwestern's rout of Michigan State with CU trainer Steve Willard, who was with him in Evanston, Ill."
   
  The way I interpret it: Barnett watched the NU-MSU game on TV along with his trainer.  That trainer was also Barnett's trainer when Barnett coached at Northwestern. (I don't know if Steve Willard was Barnett's trainer back then, but it would make sense.)

Wishful thinking, Frank, given Mike's conclusion that "either the Rocky 
Mountain News writer got the facts VERY wrong, or someone made the story up out of 
thin air."

In any case, here's the link that Frank posted with his original post.

Frank accurately quoted from the column. Maybe the columnist meant that 
Barnett watched the Michigan State game on television. Who knows? But Frank Loomis, 
one of the original contributors to this List Serve, doesn't deserve to have 
his integrity questioned for making an "interesting and thought provoking 
observation" which is "within the bounds of propriety".
