John, I think your extreme dislike of Walker may be clouding your
judgement. Frankly, I get the feeling that if Walker *had* taken Baz
out, you would be saying *that* was the wrong decision. 

I watched the game with a bunch of folks. No one in the room had any
problem whatsoever with leaving Baz in for that last drive. You did see
the end of the NU-Iowa game, right? 

Baz was handing off on every play. There was virtually no chance of
getting hurt, and no chance of a rookie mistake opening any kind of
door for the Illini.

You certainly have a right to criticize Walker, but, c'mon?
