[NU Sports] Cats win!

[Michael Vance]

These last few games have been such an all-around effort, I'd have a 
hard time naming an MVP of this team.  Coble is the obvious choice for 
the conventional reasons, but you have to consider Moore for his 
shooting, his senior leadership, and the ice-water in his veins at 
crunch time and Nash for the spark and energy he has given this team 
with his defense and occasional well-timed offensive spark.  I actually 
think that Coble would be third on my list right now.  I'd probably have 
to go with Moore for mid-season MVP because Nash gets the obvious 
Defensive award.  What does everyone else think?

I asked about budget based on the Stanford situation and he said there was no talk about cutting anything.  One person asked about having a placque or something with Dyche's name so it isn't forgotten.  Somebody asked about Wrigley, but there is no news.  I did not get a chance to ask about football traffic control.  I will try to corral him at a later date as this is my BIG pet peeve.
