    Vince Vaughn breaks down Otto Graham’s history and George Halas’s on podcast

    What a great interview. I knew he liked sports, but man Vince Vaughn has an impressive fund of knowledge. It was nice for Otto Graham to get some love. I did not realize the Cardinals were the oldest franchise. I had always thought it was the Bears. I knew Papa Bear pushed them out of Chicago...

    Lou Holtz has died

    He was a great coach and a master motivator. I enjoyed when he had the Dr. Lou segments on ESPN. I think Skip was under appreciated in how he helped Braun that first year post Fitz.

    An early ranking of B1G QBs

    I have no doubt that Kelly and Neuheisel will get more out of Chiles than any coach we have ever had. In Chip we trust.

    N Club

    Sounds like a great idea. Another smart thing Jackson has done, welcome your alumni not charge them.

    ANOTHER RB to NU

    There were a lot people doubting that we would be able to sign this guy. It looks like Chip's hit rate was pretty good for anyone we had in the building.

    Bigger Cinderella Story?

    With the ability to buy players it is ann apples and oranges comparison. The IU story is great and I hope they win the natty, but it hard to compare to what Barnett did with limited resources and academic restrictions. NU had some historically bad years in the 80s. You hear stories of students...

    Questions: 1. Will Zach Lujan be retained as offensive coordinator?

    Iowa State's new head coach is former SDSU head coach and DC. Maybe he will make a play for Lujan?

    Key Indiana player out after bizarre injury

    I was going to say the same thing. I would love to have seen Sam and Fitz healthy for that Rose Bowl. Keyshawn was amazing that day, but I would like to think we could have beat them with the those two healthy.

    Bowl Game slight

    I realize we have a weak fan base and do not travel like Minnesota or Penn State, but did we get screwed over? We beat both of these teams, I have not seen anyone complain that we got passed over. I am happy we made a bowl game. Clemson would probably beat us in the Hunter Johnson bowl, but I...

    First game in new Ryan Field

    Too bad Michigan State is away that would have been a great first home game with Pat on the other side.

    OT: Top 5 Star QB in Country Flips to VANDY from Georgia

    We have had a lot of talented QB prospects from our backyard like McCarthy bypass NU. There is no reason every so often we can't land a whale because he wants to stay home and make it easy for his family to watch him play. We cannot compete with different admission standards. We need to be...

    Drew Mestemaker and UNT

    Mestemaker is putting up incredible numbers at North Texas. I have just seen the highlights, but I have not watched a full game. He is only a RS Freshman. He is probably going to fetch big money in the portal. I would love to see Northwestern take a run at him. Walerius has ties to UNT, it would...

    Play calling

    I have been critical of Lujan and thought he was a tremendous disappointment. Today he was fantastic, I thought the play calling was a complete 180. He was scheming guys open and ran a lot of play that I do not feel we had seen prior to this. Was today a philosophic change by Lujan or did Stone...

    Gotta give it up to Stone

    He had a great game. I am not sure where this was all year. Not sure if it was play calling or Minnesota's defense, but this was not the same guy we had seen before. He played today like the money he was paid. Great game

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Michigan

    Our defense played incredibly. Hats off to the D and coaching staff. Lujan and Stone have not done us any favors this year.
