    5 Year Rule

    I am fine with this rule, but I think the better move would have been to require athletes to sit a year if they transfer. I know ow why they didn't go that route, they were tired of losing court cases, and they would have just had so many if they brought that back, but it would be better for...

    CBS Sports B1G Predictions

    I feel like the CBS analysis is lazy, and is basically what they believe about Northwestern, and not what Northwestern has been over the last few years. Unless I am missing something, it has been the NU defense that has kept them competitive the last few years when the offense has been less than...

    How are we feeling about NRF season ticket pricing?

    I have my appointment with the ticket rep on Friday. However, thinking through it logically, I am very unlikely to renew. My friend with the super premium seats told me he is likely to not use them very often, he bought them more as a way to support the university, and I will get to use them...

    How are we feeling about NRF season ticket pricing?

    Looking at the map and the prices, I am feeling pretty disheartened about the affordability these prices. I used to sit in where section 235 or 237 will be in the NRF. I am guessing I believed I paid about $250 a ticket for the season. I know that was pretty low, but now it is looking like...

    If a 24-team playoff had existed since 2014, NU would've made it...

    They may be better at football, but their streak of sucking is never-ending.

    Michigan coach says current college football model is unsustainable

    I have no problem with the Northwestern keeping its standards, but I feel they need to take a wholistic approach when determining if players should be admitted academically. I think Big John Thompson at Georgetown was on the right side of this issue when he opposed the NCAA proposition. I would...

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

    They just sent me an email last year, and that is how I got mine.

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

    Honestly, the seats next to me were usually empty, except for the rare game (not including the temp stadium).

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

    This is also what I recall them saying. Although, I don't think that was necessary. I personally would have preferred a bench with a back, like I have seen in other stadiums. A padded bench would have been great, but I can carry a bench pad into the stadium.

    Half of Big Ten Athletic Departments lost millions in 2024; Indiana, OSU both lost $37M. Rutgers $70M. UCLA $83M!

    My goodness what is Rutgers doing?

    Fitz to Michigan State

    MSU fans do not have the same expectations as Minnesota fans. They are forgiving of down years, but they need to see improvement. Fitz will be able to get by with a couple bad years if there is obvious building going on. That was the downfall of Smith. Once the program is established, the...

    Why bowl games matter

    Little Caesar’s pizza is the worst. I guess it is better than a frozen pizza, but about the same price.One of the mysteries of the world is how the pizza can be so bad, but the crazy bread can be so good. That being said, I still have a soft spot for Little Caesar’s because of the good Mike...

    Big Ten is 6-0 in bowls

    Iowa was the only bright spot for the Big Ten today. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

    We are getting Chip Kelly!

    I don't get the sentiment that if he is successful he will go to a bigger program. I don't doubt for one second that he could have gone to a bigger college program already if he wanted to. I know he did not work out with the Raiders, but the NFL is different than college. Also, the Raiders are...

    We are getting Chip Kelly!

    I am as excited as heck about this news! Sure, this may go wrong for whatever reason, but it may go wonderfully right.
