[NU Sports] Mims

[DPENDERG at aol.com]

Despite the positives against UM, I'm really worried about the MSU  game.  
They will be tough and eager to avenge last year's defeat.  If  the Cats lose 
their fourth consecutive game, I wonder about the psychological  impact on the 
team and how it will affect the rest of the season with now so  many good teams 
on the schedule.  Cats desperately need a W or we  could be headed toward 
another losing season.  Spartans will be very  challenging, especially on their 
home turf.  This game, in my view, is  pivotal.

Anybody  see Kevin Mims on the sideline?

He was animated and involved throughout  the game even if the stats don't 
show it.

He was playing  pitch-and-catch with Bacher during the warmup standing next 
to Bacher catching  the throwbacks.  Usually defense and offense are oil and 
water and they  just don't mix.

He was encouraging the offense when they went on the  field and 
congratulating/consoling them when they came off.

I am sure I  missed other examples.

I think it is important to have the  upperclassmen make a leadership 
statement and to me this is an example of  that.

Btw I felt most "happy" coming out of this game than any other  game this 
season, including our two wins.  Agreed every coach won't be as  dumb as Carr, 
but I believe we are finally playing the way I expected when the  season began.  
For 3 quarters we held a lead and if the offensive line  had not fallen apart 
in quarter 4 we would won with less suspense than normal  victories.
