[NU Sports] Sun Bowl = Season in a nutshell

[Mike Nolan]

In many ways, today's game was very reflective of the entire season:

Special teams were a problem, the offense alternated between great and
mediocre, the defense had moments of greatness sprinkled among quarters 
of near invisibility, and then both the defense and offense, especially 
Baz, gave all they had trying to pull the game out in the final minutes.  

To the seniors I say: THANK YOU for the thrills you gave us.  For those
of you going on to the combines, first impressions there DO matter!

To the underclassmen I say: KEEP IT GOING, you're part of some of the
most exciting moments in sports in America!  

To the coaches I say:  GET THE PROBLEMS FIXED!

To any recruits reading this I say:  Come to Northwestern, get a world-class
education; you'll never be sorry for it.  And remember that NFL scouts 
are watching EVERY GAME!

To ESPN/ABC I say:  Keep us on ESPN2 for every game next year!

To the Big 10 Conference I say:  If you're wondering why the Big 10 is 
sucking pond water in ESPN's Bowl Cup standings, look no further than your
bowl committments.  How about making some agreements that provide more 
even matchups?
