The Torch is passed Edition

Things can quiet down now that NU Football has a new leader. Lots of coverage,
and commentary from the press conference on NU's choice. There's recruiting and
Alumni reports also this Saturday...

And can we have a round of applause for the NU Athletic Department Media Team -
they've done a magnificent job [as usual] over the past week.
