LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Students appreciate Davie's character Remember Davie as a Press conference showed good role model Davies class

I am simply writing to thank The Observer and Mike Connolly for their I will start out by saying I know most people will disagree with what I have to say. I like positive articles on Bob Davie and his dismissal. We all know his record and, Davie. I agree he has had a bad stint as head coach. I will concede that he quite possibly yes, Notre Dame football has seen better days. Davie, however, is a good guy should have been fired for his performance in recent years. I will even go so far as to say and I think that this started to get lost these past few weeks. People all over he should have probably never been given the head position. But I am really sick of the campus began judging Davie as a person based on his coaching skills. Davie bashing that has gone on. I personally will not remember Davie as the only Notre Dame football When Davie was hired he was told what he had to take care of- academics. That was coach to be officially fired from the University. I won't just remember the what he had to do. He did it with flying colors. To those who kept saying how that didn't losing record of my senior year. In the big scheme of things, those are triv­ relate at all because "Academics don't equal football" ... you're wrong. Plain and simple. ial. It was a valid defense by Davie. Again, I agree it should also be back up by winning Instead, I will remember the advice that he shared with Mike Connolly at games, but he has done what he was hired to do. one of the most difficult times of his career. I will remember the Davie who As for the apparent classlessness of Davie not resigning: admitted when he was at fault even though the easy thing would be to blame 1. No coach has ever been fired before because specific contracts were not used. it on the team, the refs, the weather, anything. I will remember the Davie 2. Again, Davie had a valid argument that the University came to him. If you say "Hey who would not resign because he had signed a contract and wanted to show we will pay you money to do something," you have no basis to think that person will leave the world, the University and his own family that he would honor what he because you want him too. And to block the argument I know is coming, "winning games" put his name to. I will remember the coach who had his priorities straight is not what his contract was extended for. It was expected, but not the reason. He was to and who left a pep rally early to go support his daughter as she found out coach, he coached. Boom. He isn't in breach. whether or not would win her high school Homecoming crown. A final thing. I would like to congratulate Davie on his press conference Sunday. I think Thank you to The Observer for recognizing a great role model and a great it really showed the class some people don't realize he has. He could have taken the time man. to complain about the University (since the reporters by all means tried to bring that about), or advertise himself, but he instead responded to questions sincerely and showed Elizabeth Emerson the love for Notre Dame that many have questioned. seniOr I have a lot of respect for Bob Davie and wish him the best of luck in the future.

Texas to a win against Colorado with two touchdown passes. Regardless of how Texas' QB controversy plays out, Holiday Bowl officials are hoping for another exciting game. After lackluster games through most of the 1990s, the Holiday Bowl returned to its adrenaline-rush reputation when it started matching the Pac-10's No. 2 team against the third pick from the Big 12 in 1998. In order, Arizona beat Nebraska 23-20, Kansas State beat Washington 24-20 and Oregon beat Texas by five. "We've got two teams with a mission," said Bruce Binkowski, the Holiday Bowl's executive director. "This could be a great game. It could be interesting. We want another last-second finish. "Hey, 8-3 versus 10-2, you can't beat it." Washington will play in the Holiday Bowl for the third time in six years. While the Huskies are 0-2 in the Holiday Bowl, their coach, Rick Neuheisel is 1-1. He coached Colorado to a 33-21 win over Washington in 1996. "We're excited about facing a team the caliber of Texas," Neuheisel said. "Washington and Texas have great football traditions and it's hard to imagine they have not played each other since 1979. It should be a big-time matchup for the Holiday Bowl."
