    Some very sad news to share…

    I'm saddened to come here and learn that Bob Corker aka GOUNU passed away. He was also young (68) and looked healthy. He was a great guy I spent a lot of time talking with at Uber and No Chores tailgates, NU games and Purple Parties. He was also active with our recruiting to some extent...

    Let's beat Penn State.

    And he loses despite having all those recruits in amazing fashion, like running the clock and killing his team's chances like he did against NU a decade ago.

    Let's beat Penn State.

    Wow! You are powerfully ignorant about NU and Franklin. If he were at NU, he'd be gone in 4 years with a horrible record.

    Let's beat Penn State.

    Franklin had a tough time beating NU with fricking PSU talent. His famous poor clock management alone cost PSU a game against NU. You sure you want him for a head coach at NU?

    Let's beat Penn State.

    Not one of those teams were ranked in the CFB polls. He has a tough time beating ranked teams, both at Vandy and at PSU.

    Bullship! You don't even see that in south Florida.

    NU @ TU Prediction Thread

    So, the late '90's featured 93-degree dew points? Sticky slick! I doubt if I ever practiced in 95-degree heat in Evanston with the cool breezes that come off the lake on hot afternoons.

    From a different message board about games at Tulane - be prepared fans and players

    You kinda cute and hilarious when you snap on your tough guy pants. Check the Dolphins record at home in September. If you're not acclimated to that heat and humidity you are at a very large disadvantage. Northwestern, cooled by breezes off the lake in the afternoon, is not going to be...

    Illinois signs Bielema to 6 year extension

    Good for Bielema. I've always liked him as a coach and enjoy listening to him in interviews.

    Missing FloridAlum’s April Fool’s Posting

    I'll get back to this thread later. Given our differences in size and personality (small & social vs large & quiet), I was the prop or fall guy for his humor wherever we went. He reminded me of Morey Amsterdam. I got back on him on our last road trip by diving on top of him and humping him in...

    Fitz Suing NU Trial

    Not as bad as bearing false witness. That's #9 on the top ten list, goat.

    OT? My Just Published Opinion Piece RE: Naming of Mt. McKinley + Photos of McKinley Over the Years

    As a biologist who uses Linnaean names all the time, I find it strange that you think a descriptive name in a foreign language for a mountain is inadequate for it and inferior to some honorary name. Half of our species names are descriptive names in a foreign language much like "The big one"...

    Kanaan is not able?

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. No. 19 Illinois

    You've got one of the dozens of seats in "Turk country." Turk country is very diverse in terms of per game per seat turnover or beta diversity.

    How are we so good in OT?

    I'm jumping ahead to post and must go through the thread, but I wanted to say that opposing coaches often changed their game plan in overtime, or took inappropriate risks, while we worked on getting the first down. Running teams would start trying to pass on us (MSU 2007, Iowa 2008). They...
