    BREAKING: QB RJ DAY COMMITS TO NU

    How many of you parents out there? Probably the vast majority. So we can all identify our kid/kids who we adore getting their chance. And I am sure 95 percent of you being NU fans and all follow recruiting if even just casually like me. So with those two thing said I must say I gave a hearty...

    Michigan coach says current college football model is unsustainable

    I just don't understand how these guys will want to keep doing this, and remember Mark Cuban is a basketball guy too, In ten years time I find it hard to believe he will simply throw 50 to 100 million at some kids.

    BREAKING: QB RJ DAY COMMITS TO NU

    Some of the best NFL QBs have come out of the Ivy, Ryan Fitzpatrick leaps to mind (17 years) for me because I am a Jets fan and there is Jay Fieldler and I know there were others but I am too busy to look it up. I wish him the best. I doubt his offers from schools like Purdue and UCF were just a...

    End of the Prime mystique

    My second favorite class at Northwestern was Charlie Mosko's famous Sociology class. For years it was ranked up top as the best class along with Irwin Weils introduction to Slavic Studies (took that one too!). Charlie had two sons who are killing it, one is a tenured prof like his dad, the other...

    End of the Prime mystique

    I never said, that we should eliminate the English or Philosophy department or heaven forbid Theater or something like that. Heck I took so many theater classes at NU people thought I was a theater major. I am talking about what we could ADD (not reducing anything). I am sure we could find space...

    End of the Prime mystique

    I wish we had the exact opposite. More pracitants in areas that make money. Northwestern used to have an undergraduate schoool for business students (it was called the College of Commerce). We should renew that and get some billionaires back in school.

    I doubt the figure, that is beyond NBA numbers that said we have to step it up.

    BREAKING: QB RJ DAY COMMITS TO NU

    The one thing I can say is we should not hold it against him that his dad did not want him to be at OSU. I understand that. On a scale of zero to 100 my relationship with my dad was (RIP) 100, but I still would not want him to be my coach and he would not want to do it. I know it happens...

    Michigan coach says current college football model is unsustainable

    Admit and pay like Duke or Vanderbilt or even Notre Dame and Georgia Tech and Rice. Too bad we chose to build a tiny stadium.

    End of the Prime mystique

    My favorite Professor at Northwestern was Sociology Professor Charlie Moskos. Anybody remember him? His son was just featured (along with his business partners) on CBS 60 Minutes. He was my roomie at Northwestern. Great guy! As was his dad. No-one (well, very few) become "sociologists". I don't...

    OT: if you suddenly found yourself with a massive windfall, how would you invest it?

    I wonder how an NIL "payer" feels when he helps pay his schools star QB or Point Guard's "salary" (for lack of a better word) and then the player goes on and has a flop of a season and doesn't make a bowl or March Madness. Maybe some people are so rich they can just shrug that off or something.

    When are the “normal” seats going on sale at the NRF?

    Prices will be crazy but if you really want crazy prices try getting tickets to a World Cup game, yowzah! o_O
