    Love it Coach Collins

    Chicago Tribune story does not tell why Collins got so mad to get ejected, leaving the impression Collins was just a sore loser. It seems like the writer did not see the game and the non call on Purdue at the end. Pretty bad journalism to focus on the ejection without clarifying the reason...

    Big Guys

    I think Nicholson does have the size that impacts parts of the game especially against other Bigs that may not always show up in the stats sheet but have an impact on the game. Having a couple of good Bigs has been beneficial to keep them from being tired or in foul trouble and the team has...

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. No. 6 Penn State

    A defense of Schill and Gragg

    How do they explain that things were so bad that Fitz had to be fired, even if he did not know, but all the assistant coaches have been retained and no players have been punished or removed? And the AD, who also oversaw the baseball mess and did nothing until this blew up, keeps his job with no...

    Fitz fights back

    Let’s Tailgate

    Nicest couple, they have been a great part of the fabric of NU supporters. I can see how the idea of rent for the next couple of years with uncertainty about the football stadium location is a good time to pack it in. Looking forward to seeing them in the stands. NU should give them a pair of...

    Rittenberg: Collins close to three-year extension

    Great news, love to see him have a firm perch for recruiting and hopefully he is able to take some of the learning from the past couple of years and grow the upside

    Rittenberg: Collins close to three-year extension

    Great season, but let’s remember the last game determined 2nd place or 8th place. It was a logjam in the middle. Just shows how close the BIG was this year
