The physical conditioning was going to have to play a big part. Athletic facilities on campus were improved including a 5,000 square foot weight room, a 125 seat auditorium for team gatherings and film viewing, two spacious meeting areas and new offices for all the football coaches.<br>Coach Barnett made an important decision,  We re just going  grow a team  . Meaning no quick fixes but a development program to eventually play fourth and fifth year players instead of freshmen. <br>The results were players like fifth year senior center, Rob Johnson, who gained 61 pounds in five years. The Northwestern offensive line in 1992 averaged 264 pounds while last season they averaged 287 pounds. Rob reflected,  I d spend 20 to 25 hours a week in the weight room and eat until I was sick. <br>It is interesting to note that Northwestern has not been able to recruit a Parade High School All-Americans. Michigan got 10 Penn State 7 and Michigan State signed players. Their #1 strength and conditioning goal is to prevent injuries while northwestern had to grow and develop their players to compete.<br>Coach Barnett explained,  When I got here, I saw how these kids got barraged by negative stuff. That s why we started taking these kids to Kenosha before the season. We could plant the seeds that we wanted planted, fertilize and bring italong before they had to come back on campus. <br>The first year of Barnett s grand experiment produced an unmiraculous 3-8 season. The next season saw the Wildcats slip to a two win season then up to a 3-7-1 effort in 1994. However, the scores were closer and there were victories over Boston College and Air Force. The Wildcats also recorded back-to-back road wins over Minnesota and Indiana.<br>As the miracle season approached, Coach Barnett pondered about how to take his team to the next level. Your kids have to believe in the vision, he preached,  so it s all one heartbeat coming at em. A new slogan was embraced: Belief Without Evidence. The 11-day pre-season training camp was again held at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside in Kenosha where Steve Musseau, a 72 year old self-esteem expert, had them sing along with a Frank Sinatra recording.<br>You may well ask if Musseau s elevator went al the way to the top. How can young smart football players relate to a corny song like  High Hopes ? Well, as you can imagine, Barnett squirmed as his troops were polite but reluctant. Musseau persisted.<br>Life, like football, is full of surprises. You just never know. Musseau finally won them over and they sang old blue eyes song all together real loud. Not well, but real loud. Barnett was convinced, so the Wildcats sang  High Hopes before and after every Thursday practice. Maybe not so strange. This was the same group who after winter workouts would chant, Rose Bol& .Rose Bowl& . <br>If they believed, no one else did. Las Vegas posted the odds at 200-1 against Northwestern winning the 1995 Big Ten Championship. They opened at Notre dame as a 27 point underdog. After all they hadn t beaten the Irish since 1962 and the last three years Notre Dame had ouscored the Wildcats 111-34. The smart money was on Lou Holtz s troops as the press talked about a Notre Dame National Championship. But they j;2ò1tr6Apķ~n36<["B^1TMpU^3{=Ũq;:PvZ,g3J6ِg\AqȻꓦ.񩮍K) 8M 8s1Ro}ȭq798۵dJ'P?~'38&Z :HиH_mAͷk%Ub`23dA6ةd:"L14C2;pɂH9gusɒ+֤3nY%$9Ubz(Km8/ MNhճcW%ȑZ`:o{1v\ *r lbQ$CGYZ՜N#ּ|xI՚SK@VIͣifBȿ^Yȴu#-5# ,t rGl||2 ۑ_sWN$,zu]m|L^+ 9(m-vRrm/Vez22x Ͱ-w: Rrg}3AYt9ׂ# f֕3rE/D3Hki 1 l75YO/I]sB#^o'ӍFW5+&>4>Xl` *Ӎ;ly3SCm8dmDj{EfbX$xɝ[$r&Him Eriгf~dq41ϊu?bAsů[]C6V4@QVfL|^E)?\r%<[bA+HS :}"Sog)ߋ;%T4ObӒh0%*>>47TH5@1_+P€y̞YwHe m5 ?fD|4<蓧qoi\FN)*zs~hjPb~PY{(irG\e.L4 kf;LSltج0)u3ȱg?^XWu_?oyX͋Ғъ DAt,=tlm1)\^q) 7kzfMr}-ݶGxcѐE$) 1'(X0lBo9hԕ L`:އ6Ux@8P Ȭ;Rp͞agk~>42?zQp(zU$g|GUxLoշǑ8`wV~zg?n#_F%'旞 ?FՋ#rVK؎80|CWzd)LD][J `>o|r-B0^DAeo8(Y#68P/I6db2"y]+hK{IozvNi&~dʳ n?'4A|ѧ%DpV"P;).(g)g뫡<'anD86ra#Q(m%6/ $ yW\jTJWsmz y l<ξdt.%*AyG`hv$${ }=p( q$&q}Xt{{}?M]֘1rsjGͿBy#K!LOf; *kMx4F?HS9r%꿓mo>v;pxʌJcHXdA=woH/3nk 5я̖]!n*?tWV|QuAg:\T'XU*ݟA,aukc *B-/j&GWtA?:J>ښR9$5-VҤnEo֣j(hI=F=q#pFKn@[yȡyT|_Qiy{|.\$o+3h`9 4vq"Cy Nʮ '!rկ%ڄĈl{)wۢgPVRmF[@̟3yU]j-ԛQ؄d
