Entry: Yes, it really is that old-skool Sunday, October 19, 2008



We had a wonderful time at the NU-Purdue game at Ryan Field on a sunny day in beautiful Evanston, Illinois.

NU played well and won by a wide margin. But unlike some bigger schools, where football players are of a seemingly higher caste than the average student, NU players know - and act - like the student athletes they are.

Case in point: after a winning game, the team joins the students and the band in the stands to sing the school fight song, Go, U Northwestern.

To me this seems like something from the days of old...I am so proud that these young men truly see themselves not as revered superstars but as friends with the rest of the campus.

Wow, that is refreshing to see! I can't imagine that happening where I went to school - the football players were revered over the Nobel prize winning profs!
