[NU Sports] NU-Nevada game to conflict with Rosh Hashanah

[John A. DeGroat]

I had a fraternity brother who spent summers parking cars at Arlington 
along with a guy who played for the Bears.  This guy noticed that 
whatever the Bear playing bets always won, so he started following him 
and betting the same.  Eureka, he stopped losing.  Someone noticed what 
he was doing and moved him to another parking lot.  Remember the 
Oklahoma-NU game that we won because the whole Oklahoma team came down 
with food poisoning.  It turned out that the Restaurant where the 
Sooners ate was thought to have mob connections.  MIght not mean  
anything but curious.  No one has answered why Keadey thought it was a 
lousy idea to play a game  in a Casino.  Given NU's past experience with 
a fixes and gambling why  go there.
