[NU Sports] Walker to get long-term contract

[jason]

John,

At this point, might it not just be easier for you to go root for Michigan, 
Ohio State, or even The Evil Empire? Then you could always be happy, instead 
of so miserable, because unfortunately, we're just regularly better than 
we've ever been, but still not a powerhouse. 

Me? I'm pretty happy and expect to stay that way with an occasional bump in 
the road befitting a program that maintains a belief that school actually 
counts. After winning three games in my FOUR YEARS as an undergrad...what 
they do now? Pretty damned exciting stuff!

So, I'm sorry you're not enjoying it, but they've got 100,000 seats at The 
Big House...I'm sure you could find a seat or two.

So, with respect, MAZEL to RW!

Jason Singer, SP86
