Northwestern football coach dies suddenly

Wow, this is a shocker. Northwestern head football coach Randy Walker died of a heart attack last night. He was just 52.

Walker did a commendable job as coach; it's difficult to recruit athletes at NU because of the school's stringent academic standards. He inherited a mess--a gambling scandal involving some NU football players--as Gary Barnet sleazily departed for the University of Colorado.

As for Barnett, just like someone else at CU, he finally got his walking papers, but much later than he should have.

As for Walker, he took the Wildcats to three bowl games. RIP.
