    Utah has a 7th-year QB starting (no joke). He passed for 5 TDs last night against Southern Utah

    If he can just stick it out another few years, he might get tenure.

    Sad day?

    Dislike it. As a native Evanstonian, there is simply too much history there - think of all the greats who have played there. The towers are irreplaceable and must there really be modern conveniences everywhere? If it's crumbling, let it crumble naturally and not by the wrecking ball. It's as...

    Some perspective on why 8-5 with a Vegas Bowl win is an amazing season

    This is true statistically. And one could argue the plus value of a bowl win tips the scale in favor of this season. But the context for explaining the Rose Bowl season typically goes back decades, making that year the most impressive not just for NU's program, but in all NCAA D1 football...

    At the start of the season, how many people thought that after 8 games:

    Definitely not a Dark Ages season. The patient is in serious but stable condition. This is impressive after the summer sh*tstorm, the defections, distractions, coaching staff shakeups. The UTEP and Howard games? Not exactly supernatural developments. What was unexpected are the 2 wins eked...

    More NIL Horror Stories

    Maybe he could structure a deferred compensation package, a big lump sum accruing at year 26.

    Tuesday is NFL cutdown day

    Within the span of about 15 hours, Lancaster goes from Green Bay to Denver to Vegas. Is he a fugitive from justice?

    Stay careful out there in Alaska

    Hadn't been checking in as of late. Halfway expected to see photos of you on board the Red October, helping the captain navigate treacherous Alaskan waters to escape the joint Russian-Chinese fleet in hot pursuit.

    The Implosion Continues

    Actually, employers can "terminate" a plaintiff again if new facts uncover additional bases for discharge. The legal strategy behind it is to cut off back pay damages. So a scenario may unfold where Fitz wins his original wrongful termination case, NU's after acquired evidence shows deeper...

    A list of facts pertaining to the Fitzgerald termination

    Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Must have tuned out at those times.

    A list of facts pertaining to the Fitzgerald termination

    Speculation set #1. Richardson never saw the field (no recorded stats to his name). As the fifth quarterback (per another post), was he even involved in the practice squad? If he was subjected to hazing, then what he experienced took place after practice versus game (unless he attempted a...

    I'm done with NU and College Football

    Not sure how my handle got mentioned in your post. I never wanted anyone gone, Inside NU kicked me off for not being PC enough, and I know this is the end of NU football. I'm the one who sat in empty bleachers as a kid during the Dark Ages. I have a lot of souvenir footballs; pops and I were...

    I'm done with NU and College Football

    That is the billion dollar question. NU reminds me of "that guy" in the equity partnership. You know the one: highly esteemed and credentialed, fun to be around, one of the founders who mentors the newcomers. But never a rain maker, his few clients are retiring, and, recently, bizarre and...

    I'm done with NU and College Football

    It's finished. Fitzgerald was an extension of the Barnett era. RIP Expect Victory. 1992-2023. From here on out, turnstile head coaches are taking the purple to perdition. Saturday afternoons and discretionary money best diverted elsewhere.

    A player from 07 comes forward (allegedly, if you prefer)

    "The truth is the only thing that matters in situations like this." That's X-Files speak. Sadly, administrations in academia are the Twilight Zone. There is a yeti outside our window on the wing of the airplane. I can see it. It's messing with the engines. If you try looking for it, it...

    A player from 07 comes forward (allegedly, if you prefer)

    Copy and paste the above comment on all the threads, every hour on the hour. The losses, the blind loyalty to poor personnel decisions, the seeming inability to adapt to the changed college football landscape? That pissed me off. The squandering of the new facility, the Covid year...
