Actually I did see Fitz hold up four fingers, but his team did not play like 
it.  Sorry to disagree with others, but we got beat on by Michigan in the 
fourth quarter.  If they tipped a pass, it means they were putting on 
pressure.  We didn't give it away.  The defensive face mask penalty in the 
first quarter?  That was a give-away but not what happened in the fourth.

What are the plans to make Northwestern football perennially competitive? 
Would a new stadium attract a few more recruits and fans?  Reduce entrance 
requirements for a few players as long as the university offers a guided 
plan for their academic success?  We all get queasy thinking about that, but 
we could turn it into a positive by selecting motivated kids.

Gary Barnett created a monster in 1995/96.  Now we expect victory.  He got 
us out of the lake-the-post era.  Walker gave us one exciting season and a 
few decent ones that gave us hope for a future that now seems to be going in 
the opposite direction.  Now, we have to take the next step up.  That starts 
with recruiting.
