[NU Sports] Re: signing day

I think we all realize that if we maintain our academic standards we are almost surely not going to win a national title

In the last 50 years probably only ND and BYU are the only high academic schools to win a football championship. I think its because you need 22 top guys to win not a handful.  And if ND is the last team remember its been 20 years

I yearn for something a little simpler: to see NU as a serious contender for a CONFERENCE championship every year.  

I know there are differing camps on this list about BCS/MNC/playoffs and so on, but me, I am simply happy to see the conference championship trophy in the Nortwestern Athletic Department as often as possible.  If it has repercussions beyond that, fine, but don't think for a minute that I would rather travel to Miami for some BCS/MNC/playoff 'national championship' instead of Pasadena..

And if that makes me a loser, well, pour honey on me and bury me in an ant hill 'cause I'm guilty and I don't wanna be innocent.

GO 'CATS!

They are if we're ever to be a serious contender for a national 
championship.  Any goal lower than that is that of a loser.  There are very 
good students who happen to be also very good football players.  I yearn to 
see a recruiting class with some five-stars on it.
