Have to agree about McGee.  Fitz and McGee are growing with the job.  We 
need to have the patience to grow with them.  CJ threw 3 TDs, and 
Roberson threw one on a nice trick play.  Had we seen any offense like 
that in the seven previous games?

Colby may be another matter, however.  Fitz is very big on loyalty.  At 
some point, he may need to put that future of the program ahead of 
feelings of loyalty.

Can we win two more games?  I don't know.  But we do need to at least 
finish the season with a victory in the 100th NU-UI matchup.

One more thing about Saturday:  I listened to the game on WGN while I 
was sitting in Notre Dame Stadium for the ND-UCLA game.  I was 
completely decked out in purple NU gear.  The ND fans -- they still 
remember '95, I'm pleased to report.  Throughout the games, I was in 
touch with my NU student daughter was who in the stands at Ryan.  We 
suffered together.  Then, late that night, I watched as the NU and ND 
games were the first two stories on ESPN Sportscenter.  Tough to take.
