I believe that it was Mark Twain who once referred to "the happy eager 
look on the face of the crowd when it sees someone run out of luck". I 
sense a lot of that in the comments re Barnett. If he had not come along 
NU would have been lucky to get into the MAC given the football program 
we had prior to his arrival.
