    WLAX NCAA Tourney Thread

    The CU goalie and defense were outstanding; they should hold their heads up high. Great gutty win for our Cats!

    I have always wanted to try Owensboro lamb bbq.

    So Finally a BIG National Champ in Basketball

    Cadeau-UNC, Gayle-Ohio State, Mara-UCLA, Johnson-Illinois, Lendeborg-UAB. Great achievement but it is still a new world. I was hoping it would have been Purdue cutting down the nets for the B1G.

    Casey Simmons

    Fran McCaffery can coach. This is the fifth different school he has taken to the big dance. TJ Power (Duke, UVA transfer) had a great game for the Quakers.

    Bachelor Trip for Rutgers @ NU

    Connor, I have degrees from both NU and RU. I hope you and your friends have a great time in Evanston and Chicago for your bachelor party weekend. Although the NU tailgating scene, in my opinion, is more intimate than RU due to a smaller footprint, it is more lively, in my opinion. People do...

    Speculation....

    Collins seems physically unwell to me. He appears gaunt. His pallor is less than vibrant. He looks like he has considerably aged. I recognize that job stress and a lousy season can wear on a coach, but to me, at least, his physical appearance seems to be more consistent with a physical...

    Jesse Marks

    1000% on Schmidt. The Wildcat Fund could learn from Schmidt on how to engage with donors. The Wildcat Fund is an embarrassment when it comes to donor relations (at least at my level of donation). Schmidt on the other hand was all class-hand written notes, great gifts, answered emails without a...

    Jesse Marks

    You should care. He basically was the heart and soul of the lakefront stadium. He got it put together and had it running on duct tape and fumes.

    Jesse Marks

    Sadly, it would appear Jesse Marks is leaving Northwestern to go home to the University of Miami. All of my interactions with Jesse were extremely positive. His work on the Lakeside field, the new Ryan field, and athletics at large speak for themselves. I can only hope his successor at NU is...

    Bigger Cinderella Story?

    If you cannot compare the eras (which I am neither pro or con for the argument) then this entire off season exercise is pointless.

    Bigger Cinderella Story?

    Indiana…..hands down. National title. I don’t buy the argument about paying for players. A lot of teams buy players. To put it all together when you have zero history of winning is incomparable. My opinion. No disrespect to our Cats. Frankly, the 1995/1996 Cats changed my life for the better...
