Is this the paragraph that has you concerned?

"Coach Randy Walker is the first Northwestern coach since 1931 to
direct three consecutive Wildcat teams to six or more victories. The
last coach to do it was Dick Hanley (1929 to 1931). Walker also moved
into a second-place tie on Northwestern's all-time coaching victory
list with Ara Parseghian (36-35-1, 1956-63) and Hanley (36-26-4,
1927-34). Lynn "Pappy" Waldorf is NU's win leader at 49-45-7. Walker is
now 36-44 at Northwestern and 95-79-5 overall."

If so, I can't possibly imagine anything upsetting about any of that.
Looks to me like basic, fairly intersting facts, pretty much devoid of
any "hype". Am I looking at the wrong thing?
