[NU Sports] I see an 8th Bowl spot slipping away...

[Weinbaum, Willie]

I am with Paul and often cringe when I read postings with over-the-top
negativity, bashing of student-athletes, vitriolic calls for coaches'
heads, etc.  I'm certainly not urging censorship or stifled discussion,
just that everyone consider that the very people they're ripping (and
their families and friends) might be reading the postings.  Debates are
great, but so is decorum (as is perspective - - something NU fans should
have plenty of).

Boy, between John and Chuck, I'm so depressed about NU football and
hoops I think I may find a new alma mater to root for.:-)
 
Seriously, I was as upset as anyone about losing to Duke, which was an
unfathomable result. 
 
On the other hand, this constant litany of complaints is getting very
"old"  
and monotonous--it's a funeral dirge at this point.   This certainly
isn't 
the worse year we ever had, and we have to still remember that the
tragic  loss of Coach Walker set back the program in ways that will
resound for at least another couple of years.
 
So can we lighten up please--at least a little?
