[NU Sports] SC Game

[John A. DeGroat]

A great friend of mine with whom I went to graduate school was a 
Stamford Alum and his disdain for SC knew no limits.  I had always 
discounted his views as a PacTen sortof thing; Maybe not.  I saw him 
just before the Rose Bowl when he was on his death bed  and probably 
wanted NU to beat SC even more than we did, if that was possible.
