[NU Sports] Whatta Win!

[Scott Zeller]

One thing fantastic about this win is that we once again beat a team on
their homecoming. It seems so many schools schedule NU for homecoming -- I
suppose they are remembering the "old" NU -- with the hopes it will be a
nice "W" for the alumni. If we keep this up maybe schools will be a bit more
reluctant to envision us as their annual party patsy.
