[NU Sports] Tell Us Something !

[Jonathan Michael Hawkins]

Chuck--

Although it's in your trademark "super-ascerbic" style, your point is 
well-taken and I also wonder why there wasn't a continuance of the 
whoop-it-up email many of us season ticket holders received following the 
Iowa victory.

I would hope that the AD's office (or, say, the assistant AD for 
development) would be pushing this hard and often, so as to drum up the 
most support.  Along those lines, I hope everyone here follows in the 
grand Chicago voting tradition and votes as many times as possible for 
Northwestern here (poll at bottom of page):

NU currently leads the poll, unscientific though it be.

Best,

Jonathan
