[NU Sports] on non-league skeds (fwd)

[SjT (Stephen J. Truog)]

No doubt it was sweet - and I smile every time I see
those shirts and note that we still have an active win
streak vs. the Domers.:)

I did not mean to diminish the Notre Dame win at all -
it was a landmark victory. I was just saying that a NU
team that went unbeaten in Big Ten play and headed to
Pasadena still would have received press coverage
galore and respect. It just would have started a month
later than it did, after the win in Ann Arbor.

GO CATS!!!
