    Northwestern set to host top transfer target Jake Fiegen

    Any word on who else NU is targeting in the portal?

    Watching Depaul...

    They’ve definitely improved since we played them earlier this year.

    The Standard is So So High Now

    I don't see laziness. I see dynamism on offense but no conception of how to defend. None. Stark contrast from the last few years on teams loaded with experience.

    Say it ain’t so!

    Maybe your kid went there because it's a frickin' great engineering school. Just sayin'.

    Fleck you!

    So glad to see that snake-oil salesman P.J. Fleck go down against Northwestern. That guy makes Prof. Harold Hill look sincere.

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. DePaul

    I was at the game and our rebounding sucked. We got killed on the glass offensively and defensively. Still, the game would not have been nearly so close if not for the homer refs. At one point in the 2nd half, DePaul had 7 team fouls to our two. Then a series of ticky tack fouls on NU...

    Poll: which would you take?

    Our any of our remaining games winnable?

    Parking at football stadium

    Last week, I parked on Central Street near Lawndale Avenue and took CTA's 201 bus. It goes east on Central Street and south down Sheridan Road and lets you off at Lincoln Ave. (near Patten Gym) where you have a short walk to the stadium. However, I also saw lots of available street parking along...

    Giving Credit Where Credit is Due

    Barnhizer's defense has improved by leaps and bounds since he arrived at Northwestern and couldn't guard his shadow. He's a capable and willing defender now, and I never thought he'd even get there. But "lockdown"...don't think so.
