    Ten Questions: 1. Will Northwestern's bet on Chip Kelly pay off?

    Yeah it’s hard to remember that first game was possibly the worst starting QB debut in memory and somehow we ended up making and winning a bowl game.

    Ten Questions: 1. Will Northwestern's bet on Chip Kelly pay off?

    You know what would’ve made Hank look better is an offense that could drive the ball to keep it away, and punch it in to score more TDs to win games. I think we could’ve had such an offense like the Wisconsin of old and not the extreme example of Mike Leach “score or no score, they’ll get the...

    Ten Questions: 1. Will Northwestern's bet on Chip Kelly pay off?

    I don’t expect as big a jump this year in scoring offense as his previous stops as it will take more time to get talent and our schedule is so hard, but even getting 5 more points per game would put us in the top half of FBS and probably higher than in the last decade.

    NYT article about the history of cfb message boards

    Agree it’s a pretty “meh” article as it just talks about a few examples and couches it with hokey humor about how big computers were. There were the Usenet groups (like rec.sports.football.college) and then I don’t recall what was the precursor to Rivals (or the pre-precursor). But it does spark...

    Ryan Field

    Matt Shelton posted exterior photos on X a couple days ago, did not look that far along on the cladding. Wonder what’s going on inside.

    Northwestern just won another Wrigley game!

    I think a vacated win means that nobody won, not that the win gets reversed.

    Transfer tight ends Luke Dehnicke and Alex Honig set to form dynamic duo

    Looking forward to seeing what Dehnicke can do with 3 years to play at NU.

    Will Fitzgerald be successful in the age of NIL?

    I think his old school recruiting philosophy was in part an adaptation to manage expectations from NU’s recruiting restrictions. He knew NU couldn’t even get most kids through screening, and the “hat dance” kids had too many good options. He then had to maximize on the “4 years for 40” academic...

    No taxes on NIL earnings

    I’m sure this would fly in Illinois 😂

    Colorado QB Passes Away

    Sad news. Article says the Tesla rolled down an embankment and landed right-side up but caught on fire. I have read other stories of EVs that get in non fatal accidents that become fatal when the batteries catch fire and occupants can’t get out (not sure if that was the case here). Seems this is...

    OT: Lindsay Vonn crashes, knee likely permanently wrecked

    I wonder if they’ve studied skiers. It’s not considered a contact sport but there are lots of high speed crashes throughout their lifetimes and even if they don’t land on their head, bouncing around on the snowpack at 50 mph must cause some contre coup concussions. The fasciotomy is a...

    Way too early season predictions...

    8-4 would be incredible with this schedule and the coaching + personnel turnover.

    Bears moving to Indiana? 😆

    The Bears own the Arlington site if I read correctly, paying 200 million for it, and they also paid for the demolition of the racetrack facilities. They must’ve sunk a huge ton of money into both physical and paper site studies/engineering/designs/whatever which are specific to that stadium...

    Bears moving to Indiana? 😆

    It must be a looooot of taxes, or they’re too cheap to pay them. To give up an easily accessible site in the center of a lot of the affluent suburbs, with a Metra stop and a few minutes from ORD to the middle of an industrial wasteland in the midst of lower income suburbs?

    Illinois hires recently “retired” Montana HC as their new DC

    Interesting move, he has not been a DC before. Montana was the 50th ranked scoring defense in FCS. Also interesting that Illinois’ DC left to be DBs coach at ND, I didn’t know that.
