    Better be ready for Maryland

    My mistake, then. That painful loss is seared into my memory. I hope they got all their good road play out of their systems in Champaign.

    Better be ready for Maryland

    I wish I could forget, but they did beat us in Evanston last year in 2OT. They got us twice last year. Just sayin’.

    Don’t move my posts

    My dear CappyNU, have I really been unclear in expressing myself? Did you miss the gist of my missive? Moderators are like refs. They need thick skin and an even temperament. Some folks naturally have these qualities in spades. For the rest of us, we ought to consider whether being a moderator...

    Don’t move my posts

    Uhhhhhhhh….. When one is a moderator, restraint is often the advisable fallback position. Mostly, folks on here are well-behaved and aren’t in need of a Sheriff or heavy-handedness. This message board is a place to provoke and facilitate discussion. I fear that threats of suspension don’t...

    Friday Tickets

    Not unless something changed recently. The NU ticket office was only offering tickets to season ticket holders--and said they were sold out of those!

    College Transparency Act: A huge boon to NU recruiting?

    Value is all in the eye of the beholder. Can one get an outstanding education at the state school? Yes, without a doubt. But can one make the same kinds of connections, expect similar outcomes, and be surrounded by as high a percentage of high-achieving, motivated students from having attended...

    College Transparency Act: A huge boon to NU recruiting?

    Uhhhh...is this a joke? If not, the answer is decidedly 'no'. In terms of the state school, NU alums earn much higher average salaries. Of course, that doesn't factor cost of living (city vs. non-city), but the answer is very clear. And despite your belief that IIT grads have higher salaries...

    Miller Kopp is in the portal

    I'm just saddened to hear this news. I can't say that I'm shocked, but this definitely gets me down. I salute you, Miller, and thank you for all your contributions to our team. I know it has been a tough go.

    Hunter Johnson Dark Horse 🐎 for First Team All Big Ten Next Year!

    I choose to stay positive about Hunter. While he hasn't thrilled us yet, it's best to remain open. You never want to count a fighter out, especially in a COVID world and in a game where injuries happen regularly.

    Who remembers the MSU game in 2018?

    I was also in attendance at All State. I distinctly remember how loud the MSU crowd got in the second half. Ugh.

    UW's Caesar Williams on officiating in NU game

    I agree. But how can we expect the next generation to do much better when our own Commander-in-Chief is both supremely powerful AND supremely whiny. It looks like Snowflakes are already running the world...

    I cant stand the “The BIG West must be down attitude”

    OMG! Is there a 'peeking order'? And what does that entail, exactly?

    The Badgers look really tough

    They have looked ridiculous over 2 games.
