    Stakes are too high. Braun/Lujan CANNOT lead us into the New Stadium world

    Disagree. Where have you been? Teams can absolutely turn over almost their entire roster in 1-2 seasons. You think Indiana and Colorado slowly turned over bad recruiting classes bit by bit? Not a chance. New coach comes in with several of his own players following him, and lets many of...

    Stakes are too high. Braun/Lujan CANNOT lead us into the New Stadium world

    The lawsuits are over. The facilities are 12 months away from being among the best in the nation. The disadvantage we were at with NIL is largely mitigated now with team revenue sharing. The transfer rules have been relaxed. Braun came in in impossible circumstances and earned a chance to...

    Game Thread: Northwestern at Tulane

    This isn’t just a boring and overly conservative brand of football, but boring and uninspired football we don’t even do well.

    Game Thread: Northwestern at Tulane

    Did Luhan just pick up the playbook Bajakian left on the office desk? Every run just up the middle. No misdirection. Just slamming them up the middle over and again. If Himon is one of the fastest players in the league as they said, why is there nothing designed to get him in space? Just...

    The parking situation

    Always makes me laugh around this time of year. So many people here boast of the affluence and career and financial successes of the NU fan base, but then lament and wail about losing their parking pass to park 20 yards from the stadium because they have to pony up some donation dollars. And...

    I’m beginning to thing B1G announcers are contractually obligated to be effusive with praise on all B1G teams. Listening to these guys you’d think we had won 8 straight, not lost.

    Game thread for Ohio State vs. Northwestern

    I do not understand that call. Or our version of the wildcat ever. Just don’t get the thought process there at all.

    Jim O'Neil's search history

    If he has some type of weather summoning powers, I’ll rethink my feelings.

    Check out this tweet just now from Ryan Field - this might be an equalizer

    Yeah, and JON will get ‘credit’ again for a game weather stopped the offense. Just like PSU.
