I love it when I open my morning paper on my train ride to work, and  there's 
an article about NU.  I can still recall the dark days of the  seemingly 
endless losing streak when I would pick up my Sunday TIMES Sports  Section and 
search the previous day's College FB results--always looking at the  teams in the 
"right" (losing) column to find our beloved 'Cats.  While I  truly wish that 
the current spate of articles didn't appear, because it would  mean that Coach 
Walker would still be with us, at least the coverage we are  getting is 
positive and can only  (a) increase RW's already-monumental  legacy and (b) help 
Fitz with recruiting.  
 
I think there will be enormous coverage of the Miami of Ohio game, given  the 
emotions and the fact that there is not much competition for print space  
early in the season.  If we can pull off a win, which would have been  difficult 
even before the tragedy, it could provide a springboard for a  surprising year.
