[NU Sports] So you think the Cats are "snake-bit"

[DPENDERG at aol.com]

I'm sorry.  In my view, NU is not a good team.  On defense  especially, 
they plainly do not have the athleticism and strength to match up  with most 
Big Ten teams.  Maybe the Cats can beat Indiana and Minnesota  (that is by no 
means certain), but NU must significantly upgrade its talent to  play four 
quarters against a Michigan, Iowa or Penn State. "Better  execution" is not 
the answer.  That is an illusion.  "Better players"  are needed and I don't 
see any on the immediate horizon.

Navy  lost to ECU on a last second missed FG, after a WR dropped a TD pass 
in the  end zone
yesterday.

"It was the fifth consecutive defeat for the  Midshipmen (2-5), their 
longest skid since
2002. Four of those five losses  have come by a combined eight points."

Sometimes bad things happen to  good  teams.
