[NU Sports] "the clock tower is purple!"

[Jim Bendat]

That was the text message that my (NU student) daughter sent me last 
night.  I just love the fact that she's very into NU football, and even 
went with friends to Ann Arbor last week.  She also told me that the 
fraternity-sorority tailgates before 11 am games are known as "kegs and 
eggs!"

No such early rising next Saturday, as it's a 2:30 pm game.  But I'm 
sure the stadium will be rocking.  I don't know if we can pull of the 
college football upset of the year, but I'm sure we'll show up ready to 
play.  I'm looking forward to the next two games, but I'm in 
unbelievable anticipation of the next few years under Fitz.  With our 
present group of outstanding young player, along with an outstanding 
upcoming recruiting class, who can't help be anything but excited?!
