Wow, he continues to let his personal axe-grinding render
his coverage worthless. Weird. 
 
And the "majority in red" thing is complete B.S. He
obviously didn't bother to take in anything other than the
view from the press box (i.e. the entire west side of the
stadium). 
 
Of course, his crap is emblematic of what has become a real
problem in the sports sections of our newspapers, which is
an almost complete blurring of the lines between reporting
and editorials. 
 
If O'Donnell wants to write an opinion piece on NU, that's
fine, but flat-out mis-stating facts to support shaky
opinions in something that should be a game report is
unacceptable.
