[NU Sports] Back on the air

[johnadeg at comcast.net]

Seeing all that purple in the Rose Bowl really choked me up.  I never thought that  I would see it in my  life time.  I really worry about the prospect of seeing it again because we still have no AD and no announced defensive or offensive coordinators.  That will really make recruiting difficult.

I hope that our basketball nightmare under Carmody wil come to an end when the season is over.  Currently, NU is ranked dead last in rebounding among all Division I teams and my guess is that we are near the bottom when it comes to free throw percentage as well.
