[NU Sports] After Thoughts

[Jim Bendat]

Agree with Paul's comments about what a great win it was. Yet, it was oddly enjoyable because it was such a typical way for NU to win. Seriously, did any of us think the game was over when we led by 14? Of course we didn't -- because we know how things work with our team. We like to keep people in their seats until the final play of the game.

One slight correction, though. It's Mr. Brandt who is  Mr. Civil War. I'm the presidential inauguration guy (and, by the way, newest, best and final edition of my book will be out in January). Sorry I didn't get to meet Jim Leonard.

Looking forward to going to West Point as well.

Go Cats!

Jim B.

>Today was just a fantastuc day for our program.  We could have been blown out early, but the D bent but refused to break.  And the O and Special Teams stepped up as the game moved along.  To win with Kain on the road is huge.  Kudos to Fitz, Coach Hank and Mick M, although I hated a couple of his fourth down calls.  Our team was well-prepared and poised.  Their body language was positive, and we showed more heart and passion than BC, even with a raucous crowd backing them.  Our 'Cat section was loud and intense.  I even loved the silly "indoor" tailgate.  All in all, a spectacular day.  And I get to do it again in 2 weeks at West Point, another great setting!  Can't wait.
