[NU Sports] Re: signing day

[Jonathan Hodges]

Northwestern football has it's priorities straight when it comes to goals.
Clearly listed in the football meeting/film room are the following
priorities: graduate, be national champions, be Big Ten champions, be bowl
champions.  Fitz has done nothing but say the right things in terms of
priorities and has the program aiming high - i.e. this season wanting not
only to make a bowl game but win (NU got closer to achieving that than it
has in 60 years), and his "one game at a time" attitude was really taken up
by this whole team and one could see the results in the record.

We may have our own thoughts on this list, but the fact is that the program
has its head in the right place and is always aiming high.  Even if they
know a national title is a pipe dream, they would never admit it publicly
and are always striving to succeed.
