[NU Sports] Let me get this right....

[neonrye at aol.com]

If we wait to so-called "earn it, many of may be watching from the hereafter.  I'll take a bid now, thank you.  Then, it's up to Carmody to prepare them--physically--and mentally--to take advantage of their good fortune, and to justify it--by winning a game or three.

Someone mentioned in a tweet yesterday that you cannot decline a tourney
bid because it is run by the NCAA (this goes for the NIT now as well, the
tweet was in reference to Illinois going to the NIT).

I think many want NU to finally get in when they've really earned it, not
just when the field has been expanded and there is a really bad bubble.
