[NU Sports] kicking blues

[Brad Wilson]

>From the Associated Press story of Boston College's
win Thursday night:

"Steve Aponavicius walked onto the field for the first
football game of his life on Thursday night and helped
Boston College walk off with a 22-3 victory over No.
22 Virginia Tech.
The left-footed soccer convert was perfect on two
field goals and two extra points."

This kid HAD NEVER PLAYED FOOTBALL before he came to
college, and, lo, he can kick! 

As NU continues to dork extra points, pass up scoring
tries because the FG kicker can't get it done, etc., I
shake my head and wonder why we can't even find a
walk-on to kick like this kid. Sigh.

"We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. We must remember always that accusation is not proof, and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law.

"We will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men, not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate, and to defend causes that were for the moment unpopular." -- Edward R. Murrow, 1954.
