    A bit OT - Herm Edwards, um, maybe didn't get the memo

    Wildcat Report, where are you located, brother? Strange hire in Tempe. Lovie Smith, take 2.

    Great line from a UK Rivals Thread

    Sorry, but we've been told by too many other fan bases that our guys have less talent than theirs. And the "doing more with less" comment is a backhanded compliment that gets under our skin. Actually, we have a lot of debates internally about certain position groups (e.g. OL, WR) underperforming...

    Funny that you wrote that but forgot to put a period at the end of your second sentence. Oops.

    Frost to UNL Confirmed

    #1 in the B1G! Maybe he'll wear shorts on the field like Fitz! :D

    Fitz on OL

    Sorry, but you called other posters "12 year olds" with "bizarre minds" in another thread. I guess they (or we) don't rise to your level of satisfaction.

    Fitz on OL

    The Dark Ages are over. They've been over for a long time. Sorry you're still scarred by the ineptitude of the football team during your time at NU, but the bar has been raised. EXPECT victory. EXPECT championships. If the team has a weak link, year after year, then it's a reasonable point of...

    Fitz on OL

    The OL play early in the season was unacceptable. They were dominated by a mediocre Duke team, as well as by Wisconsin and Penn State. Fitz also said yesterday that he wants to be playing in Indy, and IMO the poor OL play is why that's not happening this year. It's been a point of concern for...

    First-half thread for The Hat Game

    How's the view up there on your high horse? You may have a valid point, but your response comes across as very condescending and arrogant.

    Thorson suggests return for senior year

    That quote caught my attention as well. How would he have answered it if he was set on leaving early? Something more vague, I think. Definite speculation, but the "it's going to be different without him" language seems pretty clear.

    Two straight kickoff returns to midfield.

    First-half thread for The Hat Game

    And why can't the kicker send it through the end zone with the wind at his back? Uncharacteristically poor play by the kickoff team.

    Illinois is a statistical miracle

    Stats are for losers. Have to show up.

    NU Injury Report for Purdue

    I should have yelled two! Maybe put Judge Smails on the injury report with a lower body injury.

    Nice quote in NYT about NU

    I hope it happens, but it's obviously an unlikely scenario. Wouldn't it be great if we entered November in the heat of a battle for a division title, sweating out the results of our competitors' games? Is that too much to ask? Is NU really maxing out its ability now, incapable of achieving more...

    Nice quote in NYT about NU

    That pretty much sums it up. My expectation is that NU should win the division title every five years and the conference title every ten years. That doesn't seem unreasonable. Fitz has been HC for 13 seasons and has not won a division or conference title during that time. I like him and...
