[NU Sports] Good choice...

Today's Red-Eye:

"Nelly acepted an award Saturday night at the Napoleon Harris Foundation 
Awards Gala at the Michigan Avenue Marriott.  (Pro football player Harris 
played high schol ball at Thornton.)"

No mention of Napo's having been a star at a local University.  The blurb 
was written by Iowa alum Liz Crokin.

NU will never have good coverage in the Chicago sports media.  Just won't 
happen.  Recent events have put us in the national media and so the 
Chicago media have gotten in on it too.  But they almost never take the 
lead on covering NU.  Sometimes they don't even send a reporter to the 
games.  I find it's easier to just accept that and move on.  Try the Daily 
Herald for some good coverage of the team.
