[NU Sports] NOW, MORTY, PLEASE . . .

[AJWDBW at aol.com]

I know that what I am about to say will invite speculation that the old  
geezer has finally started to nibble on the edges of senility, but -- and 
please  don't giggle -- I am of the opinion that Carmody should have one more 
year as  coach. Many of you ask, "For God's sake, why?" Just a feeling.

Stephen,  and all list friends,

Arguing for change doesn't make us a "mob with  ... pitchforks."

It has been 12 years.

I think that is plenty of  time for cool heads to reason through the
situation and think that perhaps  Bill has had time to show what he can do.

It's not a good argument to  say let's not change because we're afraid of
change. We know what we have  with Bill. For sure we know.
