    Carsello gets injunction to play

    This is great news. Don't want to jinx it, but I've got a good feeling about this coming season.

    BREAKING: Northwestern beats Texas for 3-star Texas OT Caleb Siler

    Feels like it. There are a lot of new/additional reasons a recruit might rate NU highly. Beyond the stadium, hiring Chip Kelly says we are serious about competing at the highest level. Credit to Braun for thinking big. (Note: I don't believe Fitz's ego would have allowed him to bring in...

    New NU President

    OK - back to Mung Chiang. He has all the appearances of a great hire. - Obviously academically credentialed (this is a requirement but not a success driver, noting Schill was academically credentialed). - Knows not only how academia works, but also how government and business work. Connected...

    Add another guard

    Will be interesting to see how the focus on 3's works out.

    USA Today's Fitzgerald Haigiography

    First, you had me at Haigiography. Not one acknowledgement - by Fitz or the author - that some unacceptable s*** was happening under his watch, as he actively packaged running a clean program. Whether he knew what was happening or not, an accountable leader would and should have said "the...

    When did this board get so soft? (Serious question.)

    Well said @CappyNU. How refreshing to see wisdom in response to the lack of it. Seems like view of the "majority of people" is pretty well established.

    When did this board get so soft? (Serious question.)

    The soft, fragile, poorly endowed ones are the first to resort to name calling. It is the laziest of moves.

    Reid and Page appreciation thread

    Without these two we would not even remotely be competitive with Michigan. Added credit to them for tuning out the noise of 5th graders on this board calling them names.

    Page and Reid disapproval thread

    The fact that you get your jollies by calling them jokers and busts says a lot more about you than it does about them. The season isn't going how we want it to, and we might have views on who should play and who shouldn't. That's fair game on a forum where we all like to act like we know...

    Clayton appreciation thread/Glue guys

    Appreciating 3/3 from 3 - in hindsight wish he had shot more. I figure he deserves a callout for a few reasons. He is a selfless team player who has worked his tail off - regardless of minutes. Tenacious defender as well. Among other things, as a program we need the glue guys.

    West and Green have bigtime moxie

    We need that rim protector for sure. Nicholson's defensive presence in the post was a lynchpin for good team D in the past several years. While we aren't terrible on that front this year, we're not the same either.

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. USC

    In hindsight - this coaching staff have only ever done one thing roster-wise: Heavy minutes for a short list of good/experienced starters - and not a lot of bench minutes. Moving to a wide-open approach this year with the intent to spread the minutes around - and with so many options and...

    Dominic Kirks and Overall Talent

    One of the benefits of the transfer portal is that it gives us something to get excited about during the Bball team's drought. One OTC question on Arkel Anugwom - seemingly one of those upgrades in terms of ability. He hasn't played much - he was new to Football in HS and then didn't play much...

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. USC

    When was the last time anyone had 9 rebounds? Hard to take him off the floor when he's doing that.
