Campus Shooting: Chicago sports teams mark tragedy

White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen and general manager Ken Williams wore Northern Illinois caps Saturday when the team opened spring training at its Tucson headquarters.

"My niece went there," Williams said. "But more than anything, it's a Chicago thing, our way of showing support and understanding.

"When you finally send them off to college ... man, that's supposed to be the time of their lives and the time of your life, too. We've now sent four ... and I just can't imagine getting that phone call."

Said Guillen: "It's something real sad to see, and we're seeing this more often. We're behind them. We pray for their families. I have kids in college and when you see that happen you feel uncomfortable and insecure. We're letting the people know we support them."

Also, the Blackhawks announced today that they will wear a Huskies decal on the back of their helmets for their games Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The decal will be a replica of the overlay of a black ribbon and Northern Illinois Huskies logo that appears on the university's official Web site. The team also will observe a moment of silence before the anthem Sunday "to allow fans to pay their respects to six bright young lives that were senselessly taken from us."
