    Ryan Taylor Officially A Cat .... Meow!

    Nope - Mooney is in Lubbock TX visiting Texas Tech as we type, and has said he'll make a decision thereafter. So Mooney is still in the cards! From his tape I think Mooney can play 1 or 2 guard - and I feel if he has aspirations of playing at the next level, then he should focus on playing the...

    Primer on ACL Surgery

    I've had my ACL replaced, with my own hamstring tissue. The surgeon that did my surgery said he had put a 16 year old girl's ACL into Carson Palmer. FYI I was 28 when I did mine and within 4 months I was running and playing light sports. After 6 months I felt completely comfortable testing my...

    What a terrible game

    Yes Vic's defense isn't a concern. There could be any of 100 examples of our defense being entirely passive. Teams just do whatever the heck they want. Do you think ANY team came away from playing us this year thinking "they really got after us and disrupted what we wanted to do"? Other than...

    What a terrible game

    That...plus our players and coaches favor a defensive scheme that is passive and reactionary. Teams can do whatever they want against us, even poor offensive teams like Nebraska. They weren't even shooting well, and yet we still allowed...45 second half points?? Down 7 with three minutes to...

    Extremely disappointed with Collins' coaching and demeanor

    Pull-up threes are defended with ball pressure. Defender needs to be in the offensive player's face, hounding them. Young shot 6 of 8 on threes in the FIRST HALF, most of which weren't even off of screens, they were simple pull-up threes, often because our defender had his heels at the three...

    Extremely disappointed with Collins' coaching and demeanor

    Not like Carmody carping at all. I like Collins and I think the program is headed in the right direction. I'm extremely excited about this incoming class. Nobody calling for his job - overall he's done very well and is a great fit for the program. But his coaching recently can rightfully be...

    Second-half thread for NU-GT

    LOL. At least you prefaced it, because you know people have memories...but after the Creighton game you were the one saying it's not the refs fault and "A pet peeve of mine is complaining about officiating..." These officials are terrible. It's OK to criticize them. Because they're terrible...

    What We Know About Our Bowl Destination

    To recap, the original statement and premise was wrong - "no bowl wants NU" - that is categorically false. The amended premise - "the Big Ten's top bowls would pick these 4-5 Big Ten programs over NU" - is unsupported by evidence. Iowa was picked once over NU for the Outback Bowl. NU was once...

    What We Know About Our Bowl Destination

    First, you've changed your premise entirely - it started as "the only thing that has been solidified at this point is that no bowl game wants Northwestern" and now has morphed to "these two or three top bowls would choose these four or five Big Ten programs over us, if given the chance."...

    What We Know About Our Bowl Destination

    As stated, this statement from a Foster Farms rep was when we were 4-3, I believe, and nowhere near the Top 25. They wanted NU, badly. Over anyone. The statement was "If we ever have the chance to take Northwestern, we're taking them." And this wasn't said out of sentimental value - they had...

    What We Know About Our Bowl Destination

    Well this conversation was about 4 weeks ago, when NU was just teetering on bowl eligibility. And the context was that Foster Farms would be thrilled to have NU ANY year. Last year they expected Indiana to travel better, as they don't regularly go to bowl games, but they just didn't. The...

    What We Know About Our Bowl Destination

    I've personally heard a Foster Farms Bowl rep talk at length about how much they want NU. There are A LOT of NU alums in the Bay Area and up and down the west coast, and a lot of wealthy NU alums that would love to fly the the Bay Area for a game. The smart bowl reps know this - they've actually...

    Send them back to Foot Locker

    This is a thread about the referees. We're evaluating their calls. No need to take it to logical extremes and get all hyperbolic (YOU'RE BLAMING EVERYTHING ON THE REFS! YOU'RE WHAT'S WRONG WITH SOCIETY!)... save it. If you want to discuss the referees' performance (even in favor of NU) then by...
