[NU Sports] Quadruple homecoming so far 1-0

[Roy Lamberton]

I've said it a bunch of times....

NU plays more Homecoming games than any other team, save Rice, SMU, Vandy or
Duke.

You just don't want to be the team invited as the visitor for homecoming unless
you can whup up on the home team.

Personally, I'd start scheduling Indiana or Minny for homecoming - kind of a
break from losing to the Wildcats...?
