    'Cats are plus 6.5 at Illinois

    Our defense has become bad and Illini are pretty good. I would give the points. That said I'm happy the 'Cats have exceeded my prediction of 3 wins this season.

    Cignetti extended

    IU gives massive $$ and contract extension while on same day shutting down the print edition of student newspaper for including news. Cignetti seems Knight-like to me and we all know how those rednecks down there like that.

    Contrarian optimism

    It was very easy to see that the talent assembly function of his job would be very suspect when he was given the permanent HC position almost 2 years ago. He did not and does not possess the credentials, skills (apparently) or gravitas (as gross of a concept as that is when talking about *******...

    Clearly Oregon is Immune to Penalties

    Watching the tape from the opposite point of view would undoubtedly reveal buckets of uncalled NU penalties. The very damaging NU penalties were so obvious as to be impossible not to call. Bad team and lots of stupid penalties.

    Give me Boe

    That would have been a very ticky tack PI.

    Contrarian optimism

    If this program wants to pretend to be a big boy then it better get some new leadership. Braun seems a good guy but honestly, can you see him assembling the level of talent that will allow for NU to be much more than the Washington Generals?

    Clearly Oregon is Immune to Penalties

    Zero penalties? Sign of a pretty good, disciplined team in addition to them being miles more talented than today's competition.

    Small hands? Move this to the rant board.

    Uniform - The Grapes!

    That game was so much fun. Peay was a good man but it was pretty much a miracle that the NU powers that were at the the time (Weber but I think, very importantly Ken Kraft) got very lucky with the GB hire. Made for some of the best memories for many of us.

    Fearless Forecast: Can Northwestern pull off a stunner?

    I will watch until NU is down 25+ then switch over to something more interesting. Probably around 11:57a Chicago time. I would love to be wrong but there is poor talent out there for a team that is supposedly trying to be in the Big Ten. I do hope and I am confident that the tailgates will be...

    Oregon v Okie State

    OR minus 38 opening line is my guess. I think I would give the points.

    Oregon v Okie State

    Not feeling good at all about next Saturday. Too fast, too talented and just too good for this NU team. I wonder the opening spread?

    Fun watching Iowa go down

    I despise the Hawkeyes. Their offense is still pretty crappy. Always happy when they lose. And Gronowski -- no big deal.

    Schill resigns

    No surprise. Will be interesting to watch the search for replacement.
